With /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf properly configured, why can ldap-users still not log in?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • While /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf are configured, why can ldap-users not log in?
  • We want to configure single sign on.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
  • accessable ldap service
  • /etc/ldap.conf configured for the environment
  • /etc/nsswitch.conf configured for ldap-sources when looking up passwd/shadow/group maps (sources 'files ldap')
