Need help regarding LDAP

Hai to all

i have a fedora 11 system that acts as a ldap server it works fine . I tested in number of clients(fedora 9) by entering the ldap username and ldap password . It works great .

However i can able to login ldap usersnames only by using ssh or telnet .

My question is that can i able to login via GUI such as local users of the system in fedora ?

Is there any GUI based login for ldap client users ?

Any suggestions will help me

thanks in advance to all

Do you mean that you would like to use ldap to log in to Fedora at the log in screen? For that you need to configure /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf besides /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, because the latter is only used by the client tools.

Well that depends on your setup. For detailed help we need the configuration file of your ldap server. By the way, which one are you using? If it is openldap, then you should provide /etc/openldap/slapd.conf.
