This option is used to specify how user logins are authenticated.
'authentication' => { |
|
'shadow' => 1, |
'md5' => 1, |
'NIS' => undef, |
'LDAP' => undef, |
'winbind' => undef, |
}, |
Descriptions:
'shadow' - Indicates if shadow passwords are used.
0 - disables |
1 - enables |
'md5' - Used to specify if md5 encryption is to be used for passwords.
0 - disables, (use default crypt) |
1 - enables |
'NIS' - Indicates if a NIS server is to be used for authentication
'' - if NIS is not being used. Also, if this line is not present, it means no NIS too. |
'broadcast' - if the NIS server is accessed via a broadcast message |
'nisserver' - name of the machine containing the NIS server. |
'LDAP' - Indicates if a LDAP server is to be used for authentication.
'' - if LDAP is not being used. Also, if this line is not preset, it means no LDAP too. |
'ldapserver' - name of the machine containing the LDAP server. |
'windbind' - Indicates if a Windows PDC (primary domain controller) is being used for authentication.
'' - if the PDC is not being used. Also, if this line is not preset, it means no PDC too. |
'PDCserver' - name of the machine acting as the PDC server. |
For this to work for a W2K PDC, you will probably need to have the administrator run:
C:\>net localgroup "Pre-Windows2000 Compatible Access" everyone /add
and reboot the server
By default, Mandrake Linux installations enable md5 and shadow. Also, you will probably have noticed that the GUI based install no longer gives you the ability to select/de-select these two, rather the Local files selection is used to indicate them.
If you select NIS, LDAP or winbind, you will have to add NISDOMAIN, LDAPDOMAIN or WINDOMAIN to the option 'netc'.
