Ever wanted/needed to setup an OpenLDAP Server that can passthrough the password portion of authentication to a Windows DC LDAP Server? Well recently I happened to set something up to do just that so we could accomplish a single sign on solution for our Linux/BSD/Unix systems and AD systems. What was most interesting is the group I work in only supports and maintains Linux/BSD/Unix systems. We actually did not need to directly access a single DC we only needed a service account.
In Configuring an OpenLDAP Server installing, configuring and using a basic LDAP Server was discussed. In this article the topic of setting up a pass through mechanism for the password only is presented. In the scenario presented the OpenLDAP server is talking to the LDAP server of a Windows Domain.
