Authenticating a linux machine with ebox domain
« on: February 02, 2009, 12:42:31 am »
Hello,
 
i'm trying to join linux clients to an ebox domain. I followed the instructions in this topic http://forum.eboxplatform.com/index.php?topic=34.15 however i can't login with my users in the linux client.
when i do
Quote
getent passwd
i can see the users on ebox.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards

Sounds like your PAM config.  Double check your pam edits.  Post them here is you want more detailed support.

i followed the instructions in this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication.

in the client machine if try to login with a ldap user it gives me error. but when i login with a local user and then make
Quote
su ldapuser
than i can login. it's kind of stupid.... :S

hello again...
somehow now i can login :P
i would like to use nfs to mount de remote directory of the user on the client machine. i already instaled nfs server on the server and configured the /etc/fstab on the client
but i have a problem. i would like to create the user folder on the first login. i went to
/etc/pam.d/common-session and edited to
session required        pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/
but when i try to login it gives me permission error....

Did you change in /etc/ebox/80samba.conf the following line:

Quote
# default login shell for users
login_shell = /bin/true

By default it's set to false, and changes apply only to new users.
