sudo & LDAP

[Joseph Hoh]

I just got LDAP password authentication using PAM_LDAP working on my system. Now when sudo prompts for a password it does not reconize the LDAP passwords. Any ideas?

I now have the same problem. Did you get it resolved.

Okay... Did you check Sudo supports PAM. We need to setup during installation...

Sudo installation refernce says this:

--with-pam
Enable PAM support. Tested on:
Redhat Linux 5.x, 6.0, and 6.1
Solaris 2.6 and 7
HP-UX 11.0
NOTE: on RedHat Linux you *must* install an /etc/pam.d/sudo file.
You may either use the sample.pam file included with sudo or use
/etc/pam.d/su as a reference. On Solaris and HP-UX 11 systems
you should check (and understand) the contents of /etc/pam.conf.
Do a "man pam.conf" for more information and consider using the
"debug" option, if available, with your PAM libraries in
/etc/pam.conf to obtain syslog output for debugging purposes.

Hope this helps

I forgot to mention one thing.

Which sudo download you are using. I thing you may need to build your own sudo for your HP systems with PAM enabled.

If it is PAM support is already supported (i hope it is), then try to configure /etc/pam.conf

Thanks

Thanks vijay. I was using a download from the
HP Software Porting and Archive center in utah
which is not compiled with --with-pam.

Once I downloaded the source and compiled with-pam I was able to authenticate to the ldap directory when running sudo.

Vijay, Sorry I don't think I can assigned points to your answer as I would like since I didn't initiate the posting.
