Fedora 14: GDM, sssd and LDAP authentication

[Bernd Nies <bernd.nies@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the GDM login manager to work with sssd and LDAP authentication. So far one can login with ssh, getent passwd shows all LDAP users and su - also works. But GDM says "Authentication failure". I searched Google for this but did not found something useful or just for old Fedora releases or without the new fancy sssd. The kickstart "authconfig" command or the GUI "system-config-authentication" did not produce any config that worked. We are using Sun sirectory server.

I also noticed that there are lot of places where to configugure LDAP client config: /etc/sssd/sssd.conf, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, /etc/sysconfig/autofs. The packages pam_ldap and nss_ldap are missing on the Fedora 14 DVD. Also the autofs package is missing on the DVD.

How can one get the graphical login manager to work with LDAP authentication via sssd?

My config:


/etc/nsswitch.conf

passwd:     files sss
shadow:     files sss
group:      files sss

/etc/sssd/sssd.conf

config_file_version = 2
