Configure IPA client on Mageia 4

Postby hongyun » Jul 31st, '14, 21:17

We've recently decided to replace our lab computers from Ubuntu to Mageia 4. However, I couldn't find the ipa-client package on Mageia. And there is really nothing helpful found when google mageia 4 and ipa client.

Does anyone here know how to configure IPA client on Mageia 4 computers?

Thanks,
Hongyun

OK, if I can make openldap works on Mageia 4, it will fine too. So far, I've been editing the following files for ldap authentication:

/etc/openldap/ldap.conf
/etc/nslcd.conf
/etc/nsswitch.conf

I can see the users by run id username command, but I couldn't login with this username. The log says the user unknown, but I can see it's listed there. Why is that?

As a general hint and golden rule: Please only one problem per thread ;)
Would also be helpful to list the target you want to achieve, not only the steps which give you trouble currently.

For LDAP, you should first look into MCC: http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/4/en/content/drakauth.html
Then you may want to look at https://docs.fusiondirectory.org/en/doc ... p-mageia-3 until the installation of fusiondirectory.
Also see the previous thread here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4311
