User authentication with LDAP
Hello everybody,
I have two computers running Ubuntu, and my ultimate goal is to set up the "server" box as an authentication server for users using LDAP. I then want to configure the "client" machine to access the server when logging into the ocmputer to authenticate the credentials. I have no experience with LDAP and I was wondering if somebody could help me out. I have openldap installed on the server and it runs properly, but I am not sure where to go from here. Thanks

I have tried working out of that guide, however when trying to add the group.ldif entry I get the following error:
Quote:
ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)
additional info: objectClass: value #0 invalid per syntax

Well I added those entries and it still fails to work. I think I have found the problem is that it lacks the posixGroup objectClass. Possibly the problem is that the guide is created for Debian and we are using Ubuntu, so possibly something that is included with Debian is lacking in Ubuntu. Iam not sure but its a bit frustrating. Thanks for helping though, I appreciate it.

http://www.yourhowto.org/content/view/16/9/ - Setup OpenLDAP
http://www.yourhowto.org/content/view/35/9/ - LDAP linux client with OpenLDAP server
you might want to look at setting up a web based LDAP interface like phpladpadmin or LAM
