Automatic Script for LDAP Client?

your_shadow03 · 01-10-2010, 11:11 AM

Hello Guys,

I have 389 fedora Directory Server which is nothing but LDAP Server running on 389 Server.Its working fine on CentOS. Now I am in search of script which can be put on boot time so that the new Machine can automatically come under LDAP Client.Generally the machines are RHEL 4/5.
Anyone who have any idea how can it be achieved?

This isnt't how you use ldap. I suggest you read up on what ldap actually gives you, and hope there isn't a real user base at your mercy. under redhat / centos, use system-config-authentication and personalise /etc/ldap.conf if necessary.

What I can think of something like this:

Code:

cat/etc/init.d/rc.local
authconfig >> Select LDAP >> Base DN & LDAP Server

IS it enough?

Not that I know acid's motivation for asking, but to me
cat'ing rc.local seems completely unrelated to LDAP ...

no idea myself about client or server, because I hang. No idea how.

Could you post a tar.gz of hte configuration files for the server?

here a link howto:
