To answer my own question: There are examples in sssd.conf that work, I had mistakenly assumed the attributes to which I wanted to map were already present in the LDAP user entry (labHomeDirectory, labShadowExpire), which they weren't - thus I was assuming I was using the examples incorrectly - making sure that I have values and the actual attributes sssd works correctly :) Sorry for the chaff! -Chris On 11-05-31 11:28 AM, Chris Tooley wrote: > Hello all, > > I am using SL6 on a new machine I've setup, and it's using SSSD, apparently. > > Originally, when I was just using a plane-jane ldap.conf file and ldap > with pam, I could specify: > > nss_map_attribute homeDirectory labHomeDirectory > nss_map_attribute shadowExpire labShadowExpire > > Suffice it to say, I need to implement these values, and I am completely > unfamiliar with SSSD.
