Configure pGina Windows 7 OpenLDAP Authentication

We have decided to configure a Windows 7 client to authenticate with LDAP or OpenLDAP. This is a good idea because LDAP is cross-platform and is an extremely stable platform, it also enables ease of administration. Let's get started.
Download/Install pGina, get the stable version
http://pgina.org/download.html





yes, go ahead and download/install the above proprietary packages
Launch, and configure the plugin section as follows:



click on "ldap" and configure
Configure the LDAP servers, seperate by a space



Here :
Ldap Host :  ldap server ip

configure the account to search LDAP, the password, and the group/OU that user accounts are in, and change member attribute to member.









Here:

Search DN - cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=net
Grou DN Pattern : -  uid=%g,ou=Group,dc=example,dc=net
Search Password :  ldap server admin password

configure searching for DN as follows:






Search Context : dc=example,dc=net


now browse to the "gateway" tab, and configure a LDAP group to be in the local administrator group



Save Settings, now go to the pGina plugin order, and set LDAP to first like so:



Test your settings with the simulation tab






you should see the following:




this tells us that LDAP authentication worked, and you do not have a local user account by that name.
 
Logout, and test your LDAP authentication, it should now work!
