In one of the projects we are installing RHEL 6 in the servers while on workstations we are installing Windows 7. In one of the servers we wants to enable LDAP & Single Sign On authentication for the users who will log in workstation (windows 7).

Can someone please help me how to configure windows clients for OpenLDAP so that user on workstations will login with SSO.

Thanking all in advance.

Hi,

Welcome to LQ!
Did you try on Google, how to configure LDAP and SSO?

This http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...DAP_and_RADIUS is a pretty good howto for LDAP (ignore RADIUS bit if you want).
Maybe http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_boo...ion/index.html

Thanks Satyaveer & Chris.

I searched in Google. I feel by we can configure LDAP on Linux server for both Linux as well as for Windows clients.

Next Question is

1) Can we use pGina for Windows 7 installed on Desktop for "Single Sign On" Authentication (using LDAP of Linux).

2) Is LDAP configured on RHEL server sufficient to support SSO for Windows will it require any addition intsalltion.

Thanks

The pGina project has come back to life and does look usable on win7.

LDAP does NOT do SSO at all, it doesn't really make sense to use the terms together, not that it's not "capable" of it. when you authenticate to an LDAP server, you bind to it with a given name and password, and it says yes or no. There's no scope there for SSO.

What is more common, is to use SaMBa to create a windows domain for the boxes to join. This would be backed by OpenLDAP for the user accounts, but the windows boxes wouldn't need any modification and would happily think they were in AD. This then would utilize Kerberos etc, which is where the SSO comes into play.

You can check for this on pgina.org website.
