LDAP client setup

Modify /etc/ldap/ldap.conf to bind to the server:

HOST unisys18
BASE dc=uni18,dc=unisys,dc=com

Modify /etc/libnss-ldap.conf :

host 192.168.5.18
base dc=uni18,dc=unisys,dc=com
ldap_version 3

Modify /etc/nsswitch.conf

passwd:         files ldap
group:          files ldap
shadow:         files ldap
#
hosts:          files dns ldap
networks:       files ldap
#
protocols:      db files
services:       db files
ethers:         db files
rpc:            db files
#
netgroup:       nis
automount:      ldap

Backup PAM config files in /etc/pam.d for services that need LDAP authentication and copy modules with the same names from /usr/share/doc/libpam-ldap/examples/pam.d. For example,

cp /usr/share/doc/libpam-ldap/examples/pam.d/passwd   /etc/pam.d/passwd
