We chose SSSD because we already had some experience of it, also we felt that it was more suitable for our environment. The SSSD authentication has in the main worked well, there have been the odd issues with it mostly revolving around NCSD - but that is a known issue.
The configuration as you can see is fairly straight forward, but we had to embed tha password in the config (not something that I was happy with) due to not being able to use a host key file.
I do have some questions regarding your conf file please could you let me know if I am correct with the following:
Code:
[sssd]
config_file_version = 2
reconnection_retries = 3
sbus_timeout = 30
services = nss, pam
domains = XXXXXXXXXXXXX (This would be my domain?)
[nss]
filter_groups = root
filter_users = root
reconnection_retries = 3
[pam]
reconnection_retries = 3
#ldap_schema = rfc2307bis (is this your schema ID or is this a generic Schema ID which I can use)
ldap_schema = rfc2307
ldap_user_search_base = cn=Users,dc=xxx,dc=xxxxx,dc=com (This would be my domain?)
ldap_group_search_base = cn=Users,dc=xxx,dc=xxxxx,dc=com (This would be my domain?)
ldap_default_bind_dn = cn=admintest,cn=Users,dc=xxx,dc=xxxxx,dc=com (This would be my domain?)
ldap_default_authtok_type = password (does this notify us that we are authentication via a password?)
ldap_default_authtok = XXXXXXXX (is this a password or user or domain?)
ldap_force_upper_case_realm = True
[domain/EKB.ATMEL.COM] (does this need to be my domain?)
description = LDAP auth to AD2003 (the AD Schema is
min_id = 100
id_provider = ldap

ldap_schema = rfc2307bis
ldap_search_base = cn=Users,dc=xxx,dc=xxxxx,dc=com
ldap_default_bind_dn = cn=admintest,cn=Users,dc=xxx,dc=xxxxx,dc=com
ldap_default_authtok_type = password
ldap_default_authtok = XXXXXXXX (once again same q as before?)
ldap_user_object_class = user

ldap_user_home_directory = unixHomeDirectory
ldap_user_gecos = displayName

ok I have edited the conf file for SSSD and I am now about to setup the NSS but for some reason when I use authconfig --enablesssd --update all I get is errors, is this something to do with the conf file for SSSD not being setup correctly?

Sorry about the delay, hope that you weren't depending on this as I've been a bit busy here.
Code:
ldap_default_authtok_type = password (does this notify us that we are authentication via a password?)Yes
ldap_default_authtok = XXXXXXXX (is this a password or user or domain?)It's a password.
ldap_force_upper_case_realm = True
[domain/EKB.ATMEL.COM] (does this need to be my domain?)Yes it does.
description = LDAP auth to AD2003 (the AD Schema is
min_id = 100
id_provider = ldap
auth_provider = ldap
ldap_uri = ldap://kdc1.xxx.xxxxx.com(Your LDAP)
ldap_schema = rfc2307bis
ldap_search_base = cn=Users,dc=xxx,dc=xxxxx,dc=comYes, this should be your domain.
ldap_default_bind_dn = cn=admintest,cn=Users,dc=xxx,dc=xxxxx,dc=com
ldap_default_authtok_type = password
ldap_default_authtok = XXXXXXXX (once again same q as before?)See above.
There may well be some suck it and see with the SSSD, we are using an older version here due to production constraints.
If you still have issues, let me see the errors and I'll see if I can help.
