Instructions for authentication setup to Lotus Domino as a LDAP authentication server for Ubuntu clients or Ubuntu servers.
1. Do the standard LDAP setup in Domino in a Internet Site document.
2. On the Ubuntu client install the following clients.
(The install is smart and will auto run the configuration.)
sudo apt-get install libpam-ldap libnss-ldap nss-updatedb libnss-db
3. Follow the prompts in the configuration screens afterwards.
- The address of the LDAP server used.
You can also use a fully qualified domain name here. For example: ldap.mw.local
- The distinguished name of the search base.
For example o=mindwatering
- The LDAP version to use.
3.
- If your database requires logging in.
Yes, enter an account which has at least read access to names.nsf and any secondary directory assistance databases in use.
For example cn=ldap user,o=mindwatering
- If you want to make configuration readable/writeable by owner only.
A no should be the answer to this.
- A Dialog is displayed explaining it cannot manage nsswitch.conf automatically. Just select OK.
- If you want the local root to be the database admin.
You would usually choose yes here.
- Again If your database requires logging in.
Yes, enter an account which has at least read access to names.nsf and any secondary directory assistance databases in use.
For example cn=ldap user,o=mindwatering
- Your root login account.
For example: cn=ldap manager,o=mindwatering
- Your root password.
- After, a dialog explaining the different encryption methods to specify the encryption method to use before sending your password. exop is usually a good choice.
(Note: I did not get this if I entered the server with a ldaps:// instead of ldap://.)
To change your mind and re-run the wizard:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure ldap-auth-config
