LDAP on a laptop
I've got a laptop that connects to an LDAP server for authentication.
It's currently running Ubuntu 10.04 and I'll be moving it to Wheezy once
its released. I'm currently testing it out on a spare hard drive.
Ubuntu is configured to cache the LDAP credentials so it can be used off
the network. I use libpam-ccreds and libnss-ldap. It works well.
I can't get it working on Wheezy. I've seen references to using sssd
instead of libpam-ccreds recently. Any opinions on that?
On Wheezy I've been trying libnss-ldapd (instead of libnss-ldap) because
it seemed to work better on all my other LAN-connected LDAP clients.
Most how-to's I've found which claim to do what I want to do -- which is
use the laptop both on and off the network, using LDAP credentials --
also throw kerberos into the mix. I'm not really sure what kerberos
adds to the solution, and I'm not currently using it. Anybody know?
Any advice would be appreciated.
