[SOLVED] Removing ldap

kongfranon · 05-23-2011, 09:30 AM

I had a machine that is using ldap, but need to remove it completely.

I edited the /etc/nsswitch.conf and removed all references of ldap

and renamed /etc/ldap.conf to /etc/ldap.conf.bak

I can log in as root, but cannot log in as any user in /etc/passwd

In the /var/log it shows pam_ldap: missing file "/etc/ldap.conf"

I am guessing I am missing something else?

I never set this machine up for ldap, was here when i got here, so not sure of steps to even put ldap on.

Thanks

nsswitch if for user info, actually finding out about users, but the authentication is done by pam, usually configured by the /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac file on redhat derived systems. you can also clean up extra odds and sods with authconfig-tui as opposed to manually hacking about with files.
