I am new to using CentOS-DS and LDAP and I am having difficulty
finding solid information on setting up using CentOS-DS as the
information and authentification center of my network.
I have googled a number of different combinations looking for the
informaiton I need but have not found any good resources to setup what
I am after. I have downloaded and am going over the Red Hat
documentation and where it is very informative it certainly is not a
Howto.
My biggest need for resources is in setting up the authentification of
different services and LDAP.
I am using CentOS 5.3 and CentOS-DS 8.1. These I have installed and
running on a test server.
I would like to accomplish the following things in this order.
Linux authentification
Samba authentification
Dovecot authentification
So my questions to begin with are: How do I get Linux to use LDAP to
authenticate instead of the passwd and shadow files?
Once I get that to work: How do I get Linux to to do the normal things
it does with adduser (like create a home directory, create a group,
and things I can't think of)?
If anyone could push me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.
