Hi, I am trying to allow my freshly installed ubuntu 10.04 to authenticate with ldap. I did follow the doc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication and some other hints with no success.
My needs is just to use an ldap existing server (active directory in my site, but i wish to use it via ldap, not via samba/winbind) to validate users on services using pam modules.
After the package installation the command getent passwd retrieve just local users and I don't understand if my ubuntu client is not querying the server or the server reply with some message.
Has anybody here realized this goal and can give me a clue?
Thank you
Daniele
