Question ldap


hi
I want to Configure Linux LDAP Server for user authentication when my users want to connect to the internet.Also i don't want the user to get the home directory on server.
i configured ldap server and ldap client without PAM & SASL.and now with perl i can search in ldap for my client's username & password in ldap.
in your idea is it enough

OK, well this ldap server is for authenticating a service, not a system login, and so there's not really much more integration required. You've not said what sort of framework this ldap client is functioning within, e.g. squid? but as long as you can do an ldap bind to the server with the appropriate username and password crypt then all you want back is a yes or no from the ldap server as an isolated system. I would suggest configuring TLS / SSL on it for general good security practise, but you don't seem to really need much functionality from the server.
