I've got a laptop that connects to an LDAP server for authentication. It's currently running Ubuntu 10.04 and I'll be moving it to Wheezy once its released. I'm currently testing it out on a spare hard drive.
Ubuntu is configured to cache the LDAP credentials so it can be used off the network. I use libpam-ccreds and libnss-ldap. It works well. I can't get it working on Wheezy. I've seen references to using sssd instead of libpam-ccreds recently. Any opinions on that? On Wheezy I've been trying libnss-ldapd (instead of libnss-ldap) because it seemed to work better on all my other LAN-connected LDAP clients. Most how-to's I've found which claim to do what I want to do -- which is use the laptop both on and off the network, using LDAP credentials -- also throw kerberos into the mix. I'm not really sure what kerberos adds to the solution, and I'm not currently using it. Anybody know? Any advice would be appreciated. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
