OpenLDAP on Solaris 10

807557Jan 20 2006 — edited Jan 23 2006

We just bought a couple sun machines with Solaris 10. These are our first Sun machines. Long story short, we run OpenLDAP on a Linux machine for our authentication on our servers.

Since I read that using the native LDAP client to hit OpenLDAP servers is a big PITA, I grabbed the OpenLDAP package from the Sun freeware download site (SFWoldap).

I'm 90% there with it. I installed it, edited my ldap.conf and nsswitch.conf to reflect the way they look on the Linux machines we have on the OpenLDAP server now.

If I run ldapsearch, it's hitting the right server. If I do "id [username]", it fails. Is there something I'm missing? How do I tell Solaris to use the OpenLDAP client instead of the native client? The OpenLDAP client seems to be hooked up to the server OK, but Solaris doesn't seem to be trying.

Has anyone gotten this working? Or have a clue what I'm doing wrong?
