I have a ubuntu openldap client, and i am trying to configure a RHEL 6.4 openldap client. I am running into problems and i was wondering if anybody had any tutorials or something i could follow for this

Read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature. Your post is vague, since you say you have Ubuntu openLDAP client *AND* RHEL 6.4 openLDAP client. You don't mention the server. You say you have problems, but don't actually say what these problems ARE.

Also, if you just put in "how to configure openldap on rhel 6.4" into Google, you'd see LOTS of tutorials to follow...did you try that?

We will be happy to help you, but you have to tell us what problems/questions you have first...please don't ask us to look things up for you.

Hey sorry for the confusion, i meant to say i have a ubuntu 14.04 openldap SERVER. I guess what i am wondering first off, Is it possible to have a ubuntu openldap server and a rhel openldap client? thanks for the quick reply also. I guess i was to vague so ill be putting my error on here, sorry about that

The type of client makes absolutely no difference. The openLDAP server will reply to any LDAP client, providing the credentials are correct.

You certainly don't need a Windows web server, to serve up web pages to a Windows web browser, because http is a communications standard. As long as the client obeys the standards, you're set.

My machine name is client
the dns suffix is testing.com
the basedn for the openldap server is dc=test,dc=com
the admin for the openldap is cn=admin,dc=test,dc=com

I am configuring a RHEL6.4 openldap client to authencitate to a UBUNTU 14.04 openldap server. I installed the following packages:
openldap-clients nss-pam-ldapd openldap

I ran the authconfig to configure the access:
authconfig --enableldap \
--enableldapauth \
--ldapserver=client.testing.com \
--ldapbasedn="dc=test,dc=com" \
--enablemkhomedir \
--update

It ran with no errors. But the RHEL machine will not authenticate through the ldap.

i ran the getent passwd command which is supposed to show all users(openldap users, and local users) but it only showed the local users.

i ran the following command:

ldapsearch -x -W -D "cn=admin,dc=test,dc=com" -b "dc=test,dc=com" "(objectclass=*)"

And that brought up all the users i have on the Ubuntu 14.04 openldap server.

Is there something that i am missing? or did i do something wrong?
