Hey, my boss here at the college i'm attending just gave me a similar assignment of nds auth a few weeeks ago. After a lot of research, trial, and hair pulling it apears that LDAP is not the way to go yet. The NDS server requires SASL (related to ssl somehow) for the passing of passwords, and openldap doesn't support that yet, although there is a job on cosource requesting just that. I think you might be able to turn off the requrement of security, but i haven't been able to get the nds guy here to try to do that for me just yet. There is another way though using ncpfs. Ncpfs let you mount an nds partition on you linux computer, the side affect is that it allows you to also verify authentication. I'm currently working on making a userfolder based on this. I have the python part "swig"ed, so i just have to make the folder now. I'll post all this when i get it in a somewhat working fassion if you would like. The only problem with this is that you can't access other information from the NDS tree, such as groups. sRp Thus spake Timothy Wilson (wilson@visi.com):
Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone has tried using either of the LDAP adaptor products with NDS? I'm not even sure if it's possible, let alone whether it works well. I'm not an NDS expert, but our school uses it, and I'm planning to integrate it with our Zope-powered Web site to provide authentication for all our District staff and students. (I can't wait to start playing with the PTK on this.)
