Productive Day
Today I finally managed to get RHEL5 boxes authenticating against Active Directory using secure LDAP. I had no problem getting RHEL4 boxes to do it, or RHEL5 boxes without TLS, but I figured out what the problem was with RHEL5. In my /etc/ldap.conf I had a line:
ssl yes
Which enabled Secure LDAP in RHEL4. In RHEL5 the line needs to be:
ssl start_tls
Incidentally, that line works fine in RHEL4, which means that I can continue using the same config files (and eventually package them up as an RPM or something for when we provision new nodes) across RHEL4 and RHEL5 systems.
Beyond that Chris managed to get two Itanium HPUX servers racked and their console cards configured. He had a nice introduction to Wireshark to get their MAC address, and then arp ping to configure the IP's. Tomorrow I will work with him to get the VLANs set correctly on the switch uplinks, and then I will have to do something to jog my memory to disable Serviceguard on those two nodes.
