Re: MS SFU (Services for UNIX) and password synchro.

MS SFU (Services for UNIX) and password synchro.

I'm in the middle of installing and configuring MicroSoft Services for Unix (2.0) and more specific the password synchronisation.

The first step (NT to UNIX password synchronisation) is working now, and therefore I had to run and configure a Single Sign On Daemon ( ssod ) on the UNIX-server.

The second step (UNIX to NT password synchronisation) is giving me problems.
Therefore I have to install a "Pluggable authentication module (PAM)" on the UNIX-box and add a line to the "/etc/pam.conf"-file.
This is configured, but still no success.
I even don't see an event logged in the eventlog of my W2K-server.
I can't let it work, and I don't receive any errors. This is frustrating.
Can anybody share his experience with this ?

Thanks,
Chris MARREEL

Re: MS SFU (Services for UNIX) and password synchro.

I have found the solution myself, but I'm taking a few moments to document it because it is not that easy to find.

In the MicroSoft documentation they instruct to add a line "other password required /usr/lib/security/pam_sso.hp.1" to the "/etc/pam.conf"-file.

I have found that this must be add a line "passwd password required /usr/lib/security/pam_sso.hp.1" to the "/etc/pam.conf"-file.

after this the password-synchro is working perfectly between UNIX and NT.
