CentOS 5 Server :: Best Practices LDAP Root Domain Name?
Jun 10, 2010
Regarding domain names for LDAP root, you should use something like dc = domain, dc = country eg ar, cl, is br. or better use some other domain?That is, suppose the root domain is dominio.es Is it advisable to do so? I ask because I have seen many implementations (especially Microsoft AD), which states rather dominio.local or dominio.int.
I've setup my samba pdc with ldap, and I can see my shared files (public), which i think is an indication that my samba is working. But I can't seems to get my win2k8 machine to join my domain.
My domain admin is : root system admin: root password for both domain admin and system admin are the same The message that I get from Win2k8 when I try to join a domain is "The specified computer account could not be found. Contact an administrator to verify the account is in the domain. If the account has been deleted unjoin, reboot, and rejoin the domain"
Where do people generally put third-party source code that must be configured and compiled? For years I've using my home directory for that, but there must be a better way. Are there general standards, or best practices, or guidelines on where to put the software? /usr/local? /usr/src? Is there a document that discusses this?
I have a centOS 5 server running apache 2 with it's web root at /var/www/html. By setting up a dns entry to point to the computer's IP, I was able to go to testing.myservername.com and reach the contents of that directory.My question is, how can I go about mapping multiple future domain names to folders that are under this webroot?For example how would i bind www.temporarydomain.com to the /var/www/html/temporarydomain/ folder and also be able to map www.anotherdomain.com to /var/www/html/anotherdomain/?
I have a server and a few clients set up with LDAP and NFS. All user files and logins are on the server, and I can login as a normal user on any client and get to my files. However, if I log in as root on a client, I can't write in root-owned directories on the NFS. I suppose that client-root and server-root are different.
Question: is there some way to convince the LDAP or that client-root and server-root are the same?
If I ssh from my laptop (running F10) to the server (centos 5.2) it asks for the password, but everytime I enter the correct password it says incorrect password. when I do the same from the server to my laptop I can get in just fine. I think my passwords are stored as ssha in the LDAP (I tried clear passwords and that dosen't work either).
Just installed openldap server on a VM CentOS called 'ldapsrv', it works fine, ldapsearch returns all ldap information.
Installed openldap client on another VM CentOS called 'ldapclient1', configured it with most basic configuration, no ssl/tls etc. but ldapsearch returns error:
we have a weird problem with our opensuse 11.2 server installation.
We want to set up a LDAP Server using the Yast-LDAP Server configuriation tool.
This indeed already worked weeks ago until....this week. Maybe some updates??!
I do not know what happend exactly. The server just does not want to start again and throws following error:
Starting ldap-serverstartproc: exit status of parent of /usr/lib/openldap/slapd: 1 failed
This happend after a little check of the configuration, but without a change, with Yast. Google delivered only "reinstall your box"-answers.
So.. i did that. And now the "mystical" part: The SAME ERROR occurs with a fresh vanilla system with a brand new and simple configuration (certificats, database, pw...the first Yast config dialog...). I did not change the way i set it up.
I remember, when i did this the first time with 11.2 on that machine, when no problems occured...everything was running out of the box (except the "use commen server certificate" option...).
I installed CentOS 5.2 and then run yum update. I configured this server as LDAP/Samba primary domain controller. LDAP seems to be OK and for testing I am able to create users with:smbldap-tools useradd -am usernameI can ssh into the server as root and also as a Linux user which was locally created in the server. But ssh into the server as LDAP user fails (from a Fedora 11 machine) with "Permission denied, please try again", prompting again for password.Some data:
operating system: CentOS 5.5 git version:1.7.3.4 ldap server:OpenLdap Http server:Apache 2.2 the software above have been installed. How to config /etc/httpd/conf.d/gitweb.conf file to let git authed by ldap?
I did useradd -g users ldaptest and tried logging in remotely but the client always says no such user. what do I have to do to update the users that LDAP sees?
I would like to setup LDAP (openldap) with Samba. I would like to know what should I setup first? Should I setup LDAP before Samba or Samba before LDAP?
I am having problems creating ssl certificates for use with openLDAP. Does anyone know a good centos tutorial as I am having problems finding ones by searching through google and the forums.
To clarify further I have a small network im trying to setup to use ldap for auth due to the size I figured using kerberos for auth would be a bit overkill.....
I have the server up and running fine however at the moment all auth is done by using clear text (which is fine as the network has no connection to the internet at current) however in the future it will so I am trying to use ssl however I am having confusing as which certificates I point to where in the slapd.conf file
We use Cent OS 5.4 as a application server. We would like users to login the server via LDAP authentiction. We want ot use Lotus domino server as a LDAP server. What we should do? how can we configure ldap.conf file? Does anyone cofigured this method before ? when we configured OpenLdap on another CentoOs Server, we can successfully login to Application server. We would like to learn correct configuration on ldap.conf for authenticate via Lotus Domino Ldap server ASAP.
I've been testing a PDC with samba and LDAP these days with the following unsolved issue. 1. I can add the client PC (Windows XP SP3) with the Domain Admin user (Manager) from the client PC, but when i try to add a user I get this message "The trust relationship between this workstation and primary domain failed", so as it can be added later I ignored this message and choose 'close' and reboot the PC. 2. Since the login screen is showed, the message 'Duplicate name exists on the network' appears. So I try to log on with a valid domain username and password after pressing ctrl+alt+del and get the error message: "System cannot log you on because domain rmprb is not available"
I am currently involved in setting up an openldap server on a CentOS platform. I am having some issues with getting it set up to the point that I can remotely manage the server via phpldapadmin in a web browser. I am running into an issue when starting the slapd daemon.
Error looking for next uid in sambaDomainName=sambaDomain,dc=DOMAINNAME:No such object at /usr/lob/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/smbldap_tools.pm line 1194.why does this appear, Is there any configurations missing?
I've installed Directory Server (LDAP). The setup has been done according to the tutorials online. Able to access the interface as well. So far so good. The issue I have is with permissions. I can assign file permissions to a user created in the Directory Server ( user not created on the local server). But the same can't be done for a group - alteast the way I currently see it. How could i assign file system rights to a group created in the directory server.
I've several servers (windows+linux) that authenticate to an LDAP server. There is one machine that I would like to allow only certain groups from LDAP server to have access and I am not sure where to start.
If that cannot be done, is it possible to disable LDAP root user to access these machines?
i have openldap server with phpldapadmin as a gui, i'm gonna use the ldap server just for address book.you can see in the picture how i built my ldap db.
I noticed in Fedora that in Authenticate Configs ->Advanced, that there is an option to "Create home directories on the first login".I'd like to know if its possible to enable that through a text config file on a CentOS box that has ldap authentication enabled. Right now it's complaining that the home folder does not exist upon loggin with an ldap account.
I've got a home server running Ubuntu Server 9.04 and several machines running Ubuntu Desktop (9.04 and 8.04) and Windows (XP, Vista and 7). Now what I want to do is to create a domain and directory server similar in function to Windows Server w/ AD and join my other machines to the domain, but am not sure where to start. I already have file shares with Samba but now I want to setup a domain.
I have a centos 5 server joined to a win2003 active directory domain. It's a virtual machine, so i had to sync the date (ntpdate) because it was 12 minutes different. It worked, but not ntlm authentication is not working anymore. If i rejoin the domain i get:
net ads join -U administrator@MYDOMAIN.COM administrator@MYDOMAIN.COM's password: Failed to set password for machine account (NT_STATUS_DISK_FULL) Failed to join domain: NT_STATUS_DISK_FULL
