Figure 21.24: YaST OpenLDAP Server Configuration: Editing a Database
Configuration of the LDAP Client
After nss_ldap, pam_ldap, /etc/passwd, and /etc/group have been
modified by YaST in the required way, the actual configuration work can
begin on the first YaST dialog. See Figure 21.25 on the following page.
Activate the use of LDAP for user authentication in the first dialog. Enter
the search base on the server below which all data is stored on the LDAP
server in ‘LDAP base DN’. Enter the address at which the LDAP server
can be reached in ‘Addresses of LDAP Servers’. To mount directories on
remote hosts automatically, select ‘Start Automounter’. To modify data
on the server as administrator, click ‘Advanced Configuration’. See Fig-
ure 21.26 on page 499.
The next dialog has two parts: In the upper area, set general options for
users and groups, as reflected by the YaST user module. In the lower area,
provide the data required to obtain access to the LDAP server. The user and
group settings comprise the following items:
File Server If the current system is a file server, with /home containing in-
dividual users’ directories, enabling this ensures that the YaST mod-
ule deals with the user directories in the proper way.
Allow Login of LDAP Users Enable this option to give the users adminis-
tered through LDAP permission to log in on the system.
