LDAP OS users

Hi,

I'm trying to configure TeamSite 6.7.2 on Linux so that the users can authenticate against an Active Directory

Linux OS is configured so that a user from the AD can log into the system (so it is not necessary to create the user in the OS) But TeamSite seems not to identify those users as OS users, because I have to write os="f" in user_databases.xml in order that TeamSite lets me add the Active Directory users.

Has anybody faced a similar situation?

Thank you very much

I expect you are out of luck. I have tried the same and not been able to get the users as OS users. It works great as non-OS users.

Note, this is an unsupported configuration, so I do not expect you will get a lot of help

I have managed to get it working on RHEL 5.3, though with AD exposed over LDAP. The key thing is that the OS has to be configured to use *exactly the same* config as TeamSite, notably the baseDN must be the same. The OS must also be referencing AD over LDAP and not some other magic PAM-type thing. Then, just make sure that the users you want to add show up when you do
$ getent passwd
and TeamSite should be happy with that.

Thank you very much,

I'm afraid the OS configuration has been done using PAM, so according to your comments it won't be useful ...

I'd think it's still possible if a) your PAM config is using the LDAP protocol, and b) your AD users show up in $ getent passwd, but I haven't tried it myself.
