dimaj Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hey guys! So, I'm back with more questions... I've recently purchased a netbook and immediately swapped Windows that came with it to Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop. The problem that I'm facing right now is that I cannot authenticate via LDAP after computer boots. I have to log in as a local user, wait until WiFi connection is established (it happens automatically within a few seconds), log out or switch user and then I can type in my credentials for a user stored in LDAP. I saw some posts on google saying that one can specify the connection settings in /etc/network/interfaces, but I'm not sure I want to hard code my connection settings. What if I am trying to login from a location that doesn't have my network settings? Well, granted I won't be able to do LDAP authentication, but are there any other surprises that might arise? Lastly, Ive noticed that when I try to login via local user or LDAP user, it asks me for my password twice. That happens both in a shell and in the UI. I'm not sure why and not sure what I've done to get that behavior. Any help is appreciated! dimaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
