I am on Fedora 13. My question is because I have the two machines configured exactly the same, both pointing to the same LDAP server. One authenticates fine, but the other fails. Therefore I think it is a difference in the client configuration and I want to look at it (no iptables or other variables in the picture). For now, I configured them similarly using the TUI, but I'd like to know where the pam_ldap.so module is picking its conf up from.

pam_ldap
pam_ldap(8) System Manager's Manual pam_ldap(8)
NAME
pam_ldap - PAM module for LDAP-based authentication
SYNOPSIS
pam_ldap.so [...]
DESCRIPTION
This is a PAM module that uses an LDAP server to verify user access rights and credentials.
OPTIONS
use_first_pass
Specifies that the PAM module should use the first password provided in the authentication stack and not prompt the user for a pass-
word.
try_first_pass
Specifies that the PAM module should use the first password provided in the authentication stack and if that fails prompt the user
for a password.
nullok Specifying this option allows users to log in with a blank password. Normally logins without a password are denied.
ignore_unknown_user
Specifies that the PAM module should return PAM_IGNORE for users that are not present in the LDAP directory. This causes the PAM
framework to ignore this module.
ignore_authinfo_unavail
Specifies that the PAM module should return PAM_IGNORE if it cannot contact the LDAP server. This causes the PAM framework to ig-
nore this module.
no_warn
Specifies that warning messages should not be propagated to the PAM application.
use_authtok
This causes the PAM module to use the earlier provided password when changing the password. The module will not prompt the user for
a new password (it is analogous to use_first_pass).
debug This option causes the PAM module to log debugging information to syslog(3).
minimum_uid=UID
This option causes the PAM module to ignore the user if the user id is lower than the specified value. This can be used to bypass
LDAP checks for system users (e.g. by setting it to 1000).
MODULE SERVICES PROVIDED
All services are provided by this module but currently sessions changes are not implemented in the nslcd daemon.
FILES
/etc/pam.conf
the main PAM configuration file
/etc/nslcd.conf
The configuration file for the nslcd daemon (see nslcd.conf(5))
