I'm trying to find information on using LDAP to authenticate at a client site.
I have found docs:
... for using LDAP for login (w/ PAM and NSS)
... for authenticating SAMBA (w/ ldapsam stuff)
... for use with postfix and courier
However, these all use different schema and different trees of the LDAP
hierarchy.
It seems to me that lots of people would have unified all these methods so
that users have a single id and password for all and that changing the
password for one will change them for all.
I realize that SAMBAs passwords are a bit different, so if we had to write an
app that would change the "standard password" and the "samba password(s)" we
could probably live with that.
If anyone knows of docs or howtos on the net that address this issue, please
let me know.
Thanks!
