System Configuration
The following is an example of the mdscore-local file:
#==========================================================================#
# MDS coremain program local configuration file
Any options specified in here will override the same-named options in the #
# main configuration file.
#==========================================================================#
#superuser_name = omneon
#superuser_password = usm
admin_group_name = "admin"
#admin_name = mgadmin
#admin_password = 1234
#auth_method = enh-ad
auth_method = pam
8. Create a symbolic link between the two LDAP configuration files as follows:
mv /etc/openldap/ldap.conf /etc/openldap/ldap.conf.old
ln -s /etc/ldap.conf /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
9. Type the following to test the configuration:
id admin
where “admin” is a user who is only in ldap and not in the local /etc/passwd file.
You should see the following if the configuration is set up properly:
uid=5001(admin) gid=5001(admin) groups=5001(admin)
If you see the following output, LDAP is not configured properly, and you must trace the problem:
id: admin: No such user
10. Restart the omcld service by typing the following:
service omcld restart
11. Run mdsclientn as shown below to verify that you can authenticate successfully against any valid user
account in the Open Directory:
/opt/omcld/bin/mdsclientn localhost
sess get-users
sess get-groups
sess auth [username] [password]
