REMEMBER: This page is to document specific notes concerning issue that will be encountered when using slackware linux.

Let's scratch out a rough outline here of what needs to be done.

  • Install Slackware - full install
  • update any slackware security patches
  • Install additional perl modules onto the server
  • remove openldap-client package
  • OCI(Obtain, compile, install) PAM
  • OCI openldap
  • OCI the padl libraries, nss_ldap and pam_ldap
  • Download and recompile Samba to support PAM and LDAP
  • configure the openldap configuration file (slapd.conf)
  • ensure that the samba.schema is included in the /etc/openldap/schema directory
  • configure the nss_ldap's ldap.conf file
  • copy the secret file to /etc/ldap.secret ; and chmod 600
  • Design your ldap tree
  • create an .ldif file to represent your LDAP tree design
  • populate the basic tree onto your system with slapcat and run 'net sam provision'
