Using PAM for LDAP authentication

Good Day All,

I want to know how I can use PAM to enable users authenticate to my Solaris 9 Box using an existing LDAP server.I would appreciate if the explanation is simpler and more detailed as I am new to this stuff.Also is there any othe means like an open source solution so that users can use a centrailzed authentication server so that users gain access to a solaris box without going for a local /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files.

Here's a link to a example of a pam.conf. We used it with minor mods. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-7511/6mdgu0h46?a=view

It depends on what LDAP Server you used.The steps are more than just the pam_ldap configuration.You may find the following how-to useful or not at all. http://web.singnet.com.sg/~garyttt/HTHGary
