Setting up pam ldap ssh access on a FreeBSD box takes less than five
minutes *after* installing the correct ports.

1) net/openldap-client
2) security/pam_ldap

Then configure ldap.conf (in /usr/local/etc/) which is quite simple:
host {your ldap server(s) either hostname(s) or ip(s) in a
space-separate list
dc (your dn)

Then configure /etc/pam.d/sshd thus:
auth            sufficient      /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so      no_warn
try_first_pass

That's all that is needed.


That's what I did , I use nss_ldap and pam_ldap since a long time now
on many platforms and that is what do not work


Time to troubleshoot. Is the ldap server reachable? Is your search base correct? Is a firewall blocking you? Is the ldap server running on a non-standard port?

Something is wrong, but if you configured it the same way as I described, then the problem lies elsewhere.



If it doesn't work, fire up wireshark (port) or tcpdump (base) and see
what the problem is.

at the very last extremity why not ?


I'm afraid I don't follow you here.
