[tac_plus] Authentication using Likewise and AD

[Matt Almgren]

You assumed correctly.  I’ve read and read and talked to people. In the end…  I gave up trying to get Likewise to work.

I installed pam_ldap, said “no to overwriting existing config files”,  configured my LDAP client, and it’s all working great now.

I followed the info here:
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/tac_plus/2014-March/001407.html

I modified the first two files it mentioned since I wasn’t running OpenLDAP.  I had to make one small change and that was the “base” was just the DC and then the “binddn” was the whle LDAP attribute line.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I am assuming you also read the ``notes'' section on that same paragraph?

It shows to use login = PAM

You want to try to talk to LDAP directly, may be, instead of using Likewise format of userid at domain

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
