Hello I'm Manish from New Delhi I have installed ubuntu server 11.04 in vmware. I have two user "root" and "manish" having same password 123456. I have install and configured OpenLDAP in ubuntu server 11.04, (apt-get install slapd openldap-utils) I entered some entries as followed by tutorials on internet... I'm getting the search result using following command:- ldapsearch -W -D cn=admin,dc=tamkor,dc=net -b dc=tamkor,dc=net Result:- # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=tamkor,dc=net> with scope subtree # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: ALL # # tamkor.net dn: dc=tamkor,dc=net objectClass: top objectClass: dcObject objectClass: organization o: tamkor.net dc: tamkor # admin, tamkor.net dn: cn=admin,dc=tamkor,dc=net objectClass: simpleSecurityObject objectClass: organizationalRole cn: admin description: LDAP administrator userPassword:: e1NTSEF9SklrMmVmeHlDczVZUDRxZnp4Uk13NW9uV25mVld6WU s= # people, tamkor.net dn: ou=people,dc=tamkor,dc=net objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: people # groups, tamkor.net dn: ou=groups,dc=tamkor,dc=net objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: groups # rahul, people, tamkor.net dn: uid=rahul,ou=people,dc=tamkor,dc=net objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowAccount uid: rahul sn: Sharma givenName: Rahul cn: Rahul Sharma displayName: Rahul Sharma uidNumber: 2000 gidNumber: 2000 userPassword:: MTIzNDU2Nzg= gecos: Rahul Sharma loginShell: /bin/bash homeDirectory: /home/rahul shadowExpire: -1 shadowFlag: 0 shadowWarning: 7 shadowMin: 8 shadowMax: 999999 shadowLastChange: 10877 mail: [email protected] mobile: 9999999999 title: System User initials: RS # hackers, groups, tamkor.net dn: cn=hackers,ou=groups,dc=tamkor,dc=net objectClass: posixGroup cn: hackers gidNumber: 2000 # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 7 # numEntries: 6 I added a user named Rahul Sharma with a password as 12345678 Now I have some questions regarding to used this ldap server in real world applications 1. How I configure this openldap server so that I can retrive entries in windows address book. please direct how to configure addressbook as well. 2. In above configuration i have created a person entry as Rahul Sharma, so is it neccesory to have a local user account of Rahul Sharma in ubuntu in order to login through ssh to this ubuntu server using ldap authentication?...Means is it neccesory that we should have same account of ldap person in our ubuntu linux.? 3. I know that a uidNumber should be unique for every entry but what about the gid number? 4. I want to configure samba authentications with this openldap server. please instruct the best way to do it. Thank you.
