hick518 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I configured a Funtoo laptop to authenticate to an LDAP server that has been in use for years and is known to work. I can ssh to the Funtoo system as any LDAP user. But I cannot log in via LXDM as an LDAP user, with one exception: "user1" was a locally-created user, but once LDAP authentication was set up, "user1" was removed. "user1" exists as an LDAP user, but with a different UID and GID. "user1" is now the only LDAP user who can log in via LXDM. I don't know if it's significant that "user1" was previously a local user, or that he had previously logged in via LXDM as a local user. But it's the only difference I can think of between him and the other LDAP users who cannot log in via LXDM. Any ideas? By the way, I am also running sssd for offline logins. But my testing was done while I had a network connection and could access the LDAP server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hick518 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I found out the problem was not with LDAP at all. If a user tried to log in using the "Default" desktop, they could not log in. I am guessing this is because there was no .xsession or .xinitrc for those users. Although I would have assumed that there would be a system-wide default to handle this. If a user selected "LXDE" or "Fluxbox", login worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
