Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.3.0-1

kdm does not allow login for ldap users. I tried using the stock
/etc/pam.d/kdm configuration without modification, and that has not
worked. I've got the appropriate pam_ldap.so entries in my
/etc/pam.d/common-* files to allow ldap authentication, and ldap
authentication appears to work with everything (ssh, login, xdm) but kdm. I
noticed the /etc/pam.d/kdm file was slightly different from the /etc/pam.d/xdm
file, so I changed the kdm file to be identical, to no avail.

Kdm appears to succesfully authenticate, but the ldap users window manager
never starts. After you input username/password, the login screen
disappears, and it looks like the X server restarts, and a second or two
later I'm back at the kdm login. Local users from /etc/passwd have no
problems logging in under kdm. If I have xdm running as the graphical
login manager, it has no problem logging in ldap users.

I get no logging as to what might be the problem in /var/log/auth.log,
/var/log/kdm.log, /var/log/XFree86.log, and nothings in
the users ~/.xsession-errors file.

Thanks.

  I suppose you dont have the proper config. I use pam-ldap and
libnss-ldap as well (both are required).

  my setup is:

common-auth:

    auth    sufficient      pam_ldap.so
    auth    required        pam_unix.so nullok_secure use_first_pass

common-passwd:

    password   sufficient pam_ldap.so
    password   required   pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 md5 use_first_pass

common-session: no change
common-account:

    account         sufficient          pam_ldap.so
    account         required            pam_unix.so try_first_pass


  also ensure that you have the last /etc/pam.d/kdm and kdm-np file
installed (no kdm.dpkg-new files, if yes replace the non .dpkg-new files
with the .dpkg-new ones).


  I use this configuration in many places with no problems. I close the
bug, please reopen if that configuration still does not work.
