Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Orion Poplawski 2011-03-14 15:16:18 UTC

Description of problem:

Installed system with:

authconfig --enablemd5 --enableshadow --enableldap --enableldapauth --ldapserver=ldap.cora.nwra.com --ldapbasedn=dc=nwra,dc=com --enableldaptls --ldaploadcacert=http://www.cora.nwra.com/cgi-bin/getca.pl

After install, I see:

Mar 14 08:50:01 vmsl6 crond[16211]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib64/security/pam_ldap.so): /lib64/security/pam_ldap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Mar 14 08:50:01 vmsl6 crond[16211]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib64/security/pam_ldap.so

and ldap users cannot log in.  Installing nss-pam-ldapd and configuring
/etc/nslcd.conf with:

uri ldap://ldap.cora.nwra.com/
base dc=nwra,dc=com
ssl start_tls
tls_cacertdir /etc/openldap/cacerts

fixes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
13.21.82

Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2011-03-14 15:22:02 UTC

Yeah, the authconfig command has never worked like that.  If you want to use ldap, you need to add the packages to your %packages section too.  We simply pass the authconfig arguments straight through to the program.
