Hi,
I am trying to set up LDAP on my home network but never have before and frankly don't know what I'm doing. I followed the tutorial below...
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication
...after setting up the server with a similar tutorial. I tried setting up my laptop as an LDAP client and failed horribly. The thing hangs for 5-10 minutes on startup then eventually runs like it did before. I tried reversing the client config by removing packages (libpam-ldap libnss-ldap nss-updatedb libnss-db), setting nsswitch.conf back to
passwd: compat
group: compat
Now it is giving me an "Authentication Failed" message at the login window right when I click my name (can't even try entering a password).
I need to get a book for LDAP because I am blindly entering commands from the tutorial and obviously didn't do something right.
For now, can somebody PLEASE help me get this back to the way it was before? I don't want LDAP, I just want local authentication.
