pppd + ldap??

[Ramses van Pinxteren]

Hi,

I read on the net somewhere that ldap authentication was done by 
radius.so plugin?? if this is true, then I hope someone can help me 
with setting this plugin up?

thanks,

You would use the radius plugin to authenticate against a RADIUS server which
in turn would be configured to authenticate against LDAP.

Well, let me exactly explain what I want it to do, perhaps you, (or 
one of the list members) can point me in the right direction.

I want to get poptop (VPN) authenticate to an ldap database. so 
poptop calls pppd, who in turn connects to LDAP using one way or the 
other. Thusfar, I have seen some pages (not working ofcourse) that 
people authenticate to a samba server, that connects to ldap.

Until now I have a samba authentication server (no shares, or 
printers) that connects to LDAP, but i don't yet have a radius 
server. What is the easiest way to go? Connect to the samba server 
(running on the same machine) or setup a radius server?

And does anyone have a WORKING howto for setting up either one of them?

Thanks
ramses

Lacking a radius server, it is pretty easy to configure winbind/samba to
authenticate against an existing Samba domain.  There are a number of
docs on the poptop homepage, most of them working off the info in this
great howto:

Re: pppd + ldap??

And there I have a problem, I dont have an existing domain. I dont 
even have any samba servers right now, except the PDC i am creating. 
I am struggeling with winbind right now, to get it up and running, 
but I think that is a bit outside the scope of this maillist and I 
better go to the samba list for that. If I have everything up and 
running I will create an howto and publish it in the different 
maillists.

Thanks
