Which LDAP client should I use for authentication on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6: SSSD, nscd, nslcd, or sudo?
Issue
- We use LDAP for authentication/authorization with pam_ldap/sudo on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5, which of sssd/nscd/nslcd/sudo should we use for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6?
- What config files will be used?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7
- LDAP directory access for authentication (i.e. 'Is the user who he pretends to be?') and authorization (i.e. 'What is the user allowed to do?', 'Does he have access?')
