Description of problem: Fedora 9 with gdm 2.22.x is unable to authenticate against an LDAP server. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure LDAP using system-config-authentication 2. Reboot Actual results: GDM does not show the list of available users in LDAP server Expected results: GDM should have provided a list of available users in LDAP server, and authenticate against it. Additional info: I'm using the exact same configurations from a working Fedora 8. I suspect this is because of the new gdm, but I have way to be sure.
Hi, We don't show users from the network by default because the list of users can be huge and networks can be slow. If you click "Other..." and type the username you want and then log in, that user should show up for subsequent runs of the login screen. Is it working like that for you?
Hi Ray, thanks for the reply. I've just confirmed what you said. Even though there isn't a list of users showing up in gdm, it is possible to login by typing the username and password, and gdm authenticates using LDAP. However, the user won't show up in subsequent login screens. Unlike previous Fedora releases, i wasn't able to find a (graphical) way to configure the "Login Window" and enable user listings. There appears to be a problem as well when system-config-authentication is configured to "create home directories on the first login" - immediately after creation, it is impossible to change any settings related to gnome, eg, add an applet to panel, change nautilus preferences, etc.
Is ConsoleKit running? What's the output of ps -ef | grep /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon ? How about ck-history --frequent ? and ls -lZ /var/log/ConsoleKit/history ?

so the nunogt user doesn't show up in the user list for you? and you attach your /var/log/ConsoleKit/history file and the output of getent passwd nunogt ?
Created attachment 307269 [details] ConsoleKit history as requested
[root@www ~]# getent passwd nunogt nunogt:*:500:100:Nuno:/home/nunogt:/bin/bash
And no, the user nunogt doesn't show up in the user list.

Looks like I have the same symptoms as nunogt except that I'm using NIS instead of LDAP.
Same problem here with F9. gdm does not remember previous logins by NIS users. NIS users are NEVER shown in the greeter list. The correct behaviour (according to mclasen, http://markmail.org/message/7orafrekd2jkavct ) is that gdm will show NIS users who have logged in before. - Mike
There are occasions that NIS users show up for me since my last comment. Typically upon first boot up, no NIS users will show up. After logging in, or after a failed login, that NIS user will show up.
After upgrading to F10-beta from rawhide, recent NIS users now show up in the gdm greeter. It works properly now. - Mike
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
