LDAP authentication - NDS and LDAP-UX

[Charles Pfeiffer_2]

All,
I have installed NDS for my directory server and imported a ton of users. I have installed LDAP-UX for my client. I edited pam.conf and nsswitch.conf to use LDAP. In pam.conf I only edited the login (rlogin) line to take out the default login and add the LDAP login. When I try to rlogin as a user in LDAP I get challenged for the LDAP password, but the login fails. The LDAP logs show no connection to the LDAP server. When I set up the client I created a new profile (It did create it in the server) but it didn't download it to the client. This doesn't seem to be that important, but I thought I'd mention it just in case. ldapuxclient.conf shows the right server address and port number. My profile is in o=NetscapeRoot on the server and my search should start in dc=company.org. In setup I told it to use simple authentication. I'm new to LDAP so I'm sure I'm just missing something simple here. Any ideas?

Also, if I get this working my next task is to get it working against an Active Directory server. Everything I read about this shows the use of Kerberos. Is that necessary? I understand the security concerns, but I'm in a quick proof of concept stage right now so I'd like to skip that. I'll have more time when we build the prototype and can implement kerberos then if it isn't required for basic communication between LDAP-UX and AD.

Thanks for any help.
