Authentication

ldapsearch -x -D "cn=admin,dc=cyclades,dc=com,dc=br" -w bitadmin

'(objectClass=*)'

This is enough to set up a LDAP server with some users, for PAM authentication
purposes.

Configuring the AlterPath ACS side

To configure the unit for PAM authentication, follow the steps below:

Step 1 - Configure

all.protocol

as ldap, in

/etc/portslave/pslave.conf

Step 2 - Configure the

/etc/ldap.conf

file.

Edit the following parameters:

Step 3 - Activating and saving the changes made.

To activate the changes issue the command:

# runconf

To save the changes, run the command:

# saveconf

Active Directory

A Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 Server edition is necessary. In the ACS side, the

/etc/ldap.conf

must be configured.

host 200.246.93.95 <== LDAP server IP address or name

base dc=cyclades,dc=com,dc=br <== distinguished name of the search base

uri ldaps://200.246.93.95 <== to use secure LDAP

File Description 3.3: /etc/ldap.conf configuration
