From Fedora Directory Server

Sendmail with FDS EASY

• In Fedora Linux:

Edit the system authentication with system-config-authentication as root.
Enable the ldap Support for Information User and Authentication.
Configure the LDAP opcion with your ldap adress and DN base.

IMPORTANT

• Create the user home directory for your user, example: Your home directory path is: /home

Add new home for new user: mkdir /home/newuser
Change the user owner with: chown 600.600 /home/newuser

• Create the new account int FDS console.

Enable the Posix User

Complete the required data (UID number, GID numer, Home Directory)
In this case:
 UID Value = 600
 GID Value = 600
 Home Directory Value = /home/newuser

Is everything, is very easy!!!

CAUTION

• If you need restart the server, first do rollback the authentication config (Dismark on system-config-authentication as root the User Information and Authentication in the LDAP options.)

When server is up, execute /opt/fedora-ds/start-admin.
After enable the config for LDAP with system-config-authentication.

If you don't make this, Fedora Admin fail the user authenticate. I don't know why?
