438 Reference
Use the YaST LDAP client to further configure the YaST group and user configuration
modules. This includes manipulating the default settings for new users and groups and
the number and nature of the attributes assigned to a user or a group. LDAP user management
allows you to assign far more and different attributes to users and groups than
traditional user or group management solutions. This is described in Section “Configuring
the YaST Group and User Administration Modules” (page 441).
Basic Configuration
The basic LDAP client configuration dialog (Figure 25.2, “YaST: Configuration of the
LDAP Client” (page 438)) opens during installation if you choose LDAP user management
or when you select Network Services → LDAP Client in the YaST Control Center
in the installed system.
Figure 25.2 YaST: Configuration of the LDAP Client
To authenticate users of your machine against an OpenLDAP server and enable user
management via OpenLDAP, proceed as follows:
1 Click Use LDAP to enable the use of LDAP. Select Use LDAP but Disable Logins
instead if you want to use LDAP for authentication, but do not want other users
to log in to this client.
