I am running successfully with the user accounts having the objectClass:
inetOrgPerson
posixAccount
shadowAccount
top
I think that posixAccount is necessary. Typically, objectClass person
is not what you jneed to store a Unix account, you need to have home
directory, shell, uid number, gid number, etc. and password to
authenticate a Unix user with LDAP.
Adding an objectClass or Attributes to an enxisting entry of your LDAP
will not break anything that is already working.
Bests,
Olivier
