LDAP Authentication
Using LDAP for authentication against the CGIAR Active Directory for SSH, local and GUI logins to a Linux computer.
Overview
- Requirements:
Unordered List Item
Properly configured user accounts in the active directory (UserPrincipalName property in the form username@cgiarad.org)
- Implementation
Authentication on a Linux PC’s is managed by PAM modules (Pluggable Authentication Modules). A special PAM module should be used, configured to test username an password credentials against an Active Directory domain controller. An PAM module of that sort has been implemented by CIP for authenticating users to the HPC.
