Hello,

Does anyone have a workaround for FC14 and LDAP authentication? Following some other threads - I seems to have LDAP search working but gdm login still fail.

Currently, we are using Sun LDAP and are not configured to use secure LDAP. Is there a way force sssd.conf to use none secure ldap for authentication?

Bascially, I want to know of a workaround to this....

Yes, if you're authenticating through SSSD, then before we attempt to
perfom an LDAP bind, we check to see if the channel is encrypted (either
through LDAPS, LDAP+TLS or LDAP+GSSAPI). If it is not, we will not
perform the bind and simply return authentication failure internally.


Thanks,

Found the workaround for this issue without having to use TLS - just run authconfig-tui - enable LDAP and LDAP authentication checked. Click next... type in your ldap://ldap.server.domainname.com and the rest of the info... LAST... in the /etc/sysconfig/authconfig file add FORCELEGACY=yes

that's it.... tested and it works for me...
