Bind Solaris client to Linux ldap server using ldapclient tool

edited Aug 18, 2021 6:18PM in Oracle Solaris Networking (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered

Hello,

I am manually initializing an ldap client on a Solaris 11.4 server (connecting to a "DS-389" ldap server) but am unable to use ldap to login.

I have confirmed we are able to connect to the ldap server (verified with ldapsearch and ldapclient tools).

I have verified ldapclient set up /etc/nsswitch.conf with the following:

passwd: files ldap

group: files ldap

However, when attempting to "su" to a user, we get:

"su: Unknown id: <userid>"

I have left the pam.conf settings as default (meaning this should be using pam_unix for authentication - ie. we are not using pam_ldap).
