RE: anyone using Irix clients?



Hi Greg,

I've been testing Irix clients for a few months now.

To get mine working I had to setup a proxyaccount with read access to
userPassword attributes and configured the clients to bind with that
account in /var/ns/ldap.conf.

I also had to add to ldap.conf:

regsub  USERPASSWORD{{crypt\}|{CRYPT\}}{}

Other relevant entries (the only thing that's changed is the USERPASSWORD attribute):

table           passwd.byname
filter_lookup   (&(OBJECTCLASS=POSIXACCOUNT)(UID=%s))
filter_list     (OBJECTCLASS=POSIXACCOUNT)
format          "UID:**:UIDNUMBER:GIDNUMBER:GECOS:HOMEDIRECTORY:LOGINSHELL"

table           shadow.byname
filter_lookup   (&(OBJECTCLASS=SHADOWACCOUNT)(UID=%s))
filter_list     (OBJECTCLASS=SHADOWACCOUNT)
require         USERPASSWORD
format          "UID:USERPASSWORD:SHADOWLASTCHANGE:SHADOWMIN:SHADOWMAX:SHADOWWARNING:SHADOWINACTIVE:SHADOWEXPIRE:SHADOWFLAG"

Check how the maps looks with nsadmin (ie nsadmin cat passwd).

anyone got irix clients to work with openldap? the only info I've found
is at:
http://www.ccm.ece.vt.edu/~lscharf/samd/?topic=IRIX
but it has not been enough to get me going. I can see ldap stuff going
back and forth but authentication isnt working. does it require some of
the shadowaccount attributes? here is a typical user:

dn: uid=abc,ou=People,dc=my,dc=domain
uid: abc
cn: Alpha Bravo Charlie
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: shadowAccount
objectClass: top
loginShell: /bin/bash
uidNumber: 500
gidNumber: 1000
homeDirectory: /users/abc
gecos: foo bar
userPassword:: *******************

any help greatly appreciated...

GREG
