Thank you very much,


your post was very helpful for me....

now I have another doubt ....clarify me......how to set passwd users who added into ldap database.......how to login with that username in client systems.......

The words "doubt" and "question" mean different things.

Again, have you tried to look any of this up?

Setting a password:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/ldappasswd

And "client systems" is too vague. What KIND of client? Windows? Mac? Linux? Solaris? What???? Each one will have different ways to connect to and use LDAP. Google can point you to them.

My clients both Linux and Windows

I tried in linux.....It's giving error cannot change that user home directory....permission denied.

Ok...so did you check the permissions on the users home directory??

su - yal2361
Password:
su: warning: cannot change directory to /home/yal2361: No such file or directory
-bash-3.2$

The error gives whenever i try to login in client machine.


should i need to create home directory for that user in client machine........Is there any way to solve this......please suggest me...



Thank you very mauch

I did "suggest you". Check the permissions on the specified home directory. Obviously if it doesn't exist, it needs to be created.
