Hello, all. I'm having a miserable time getting CUPS to work
with
Directory Server for group authentication. I think it is more
fundamental than CUPS. When I do getent group <groupname> to a local
group, the result is populated with members. However, if I do it for an
LDAP group, the group is returned but with no members. What would cause
such behavior? Do I need something other than default NSS mappings?
I am running CentOS Directory Server 8.1 on CentOS 5.4. The client is
running Debian Lenny. Thanks - John
The most likely reason is that how your system expects the groups to be
set up (i.e, a list of usernames vs. a list of DNs, the objectClass to
consider a Unix a group, etc.) does not match what your data actually
looks like.
Without any data about how you've got things configured on the client
and in the LDAp database, though, it's pretty hard to say where that
disconnect might be.
