working with pam

[sixt06]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect linux login PAM to crowd-ldap-server.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication?action=fullsearch&value=linkto%3A%22LDAPClientAuthentication%22&context=180

But, crowd-ldap-server may not support posixAccount schema yet. A ldap client was failed to search account.
Do you have a plan to support the posixAccount schema?
It will be great if it is possible.

Thanks,
Hayoung

Hi Hayoung,

crowd-ldap-server is a proxy-server with an adapter that receives LDAP requests and tries to adapt/convert/fullfill these with calls to the REST API for Crowd.

It currently does not support the posixAccount Schema, because crowd does not store posix information out of the box.

However, I think it may be possible use attributes of the user resource:

So far there is no plan to do this (contributions are welcome) and I am currently quite busy with other things, so the only thing I can do is to put it on a list with a low priority.

Best Regards,
Dieter

Bump...

Any updates on this. I'm having a simular issue.

Having the uidNumber and gidNumber attributes map to the posixAccount schema on return would make my day! I can use it without just for passwords but it would be so much nicer to have it provide the id numbers.
