+Instructions for setting up LDAP login on [[OSL]] hosted VMs.  This should be done as part of the [[SAC:Standard System Setup]] process.
-The key file is the /etc/ldap.conf file which should contain:
+[[Category:Infrastructure]]
-  host ldap.telascience.org
-  base dc=telascience,dc=org
-  # Group to enforce membership of
-  pam_groupdn cn=Shell,ou=Groups,dc=telascience,dc=org
-  ssl no
-  tls_cacertdir /etc/openldap/cacerts
-  pam_password md5
-The key item here is pam_groupdn line so that only users in the group "Shell" can login, and the host for finding the ldap server.  At some point the configuration may need to be updated to support SSL.
-Also, to enable ldap authentication the pam configuration needs to be updated.  On FC4 this is done by making the /etc/pam.d/system-auth file look like:
- #%PAM-1.0
- # This file is auto-generated.
- # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
- auth        required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so
- auth        sufficient    /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok
- auth        sufficient    /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so use_first_pass
- auth        required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so
- account     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so broken_shadow
- account     sufficient    /lib/security/$ISA/pam_succeed_if.so uid < 100 quiet
- account     [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore] /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so
- account     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_permit.so
- password    requisite     /lib/security/$ISA/pam_cracklib.so retry=3
- password    sufficient    /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow
- password    sufficient    /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so use_authtok
- password    required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so
- session     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_limits.so
- session     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so
- session     optional      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so
-The key item here is the inclusion of pam_ldap.so as an option.
