Perform the following steps on your other centos 7 vm (I will call it vm5)vm2:
<ol>
<li>Install the following packages
<li>Prior to making any changes to how your machines handle login information, use the authconfig
--savebackup command to save your current configuration into /root/ldap/backup.</li>
<li>Use the authconfig command to configure your vm to use vm4 vm1 as the ldap server.
Note that you will to enable ldap authentication, identify the ldap server, and the base distinguished name in a single command.</li>
<li>Check the name service switch configuration file /etc/nsswitch.conf to confirm that LDAP is
# numEntries: 1
</source>
<li>Logout of the client machine, then log back in using the ldapuser1 account. You will notice you get an error message about not being able to find </home/ldapuser1. Normally, we would be remotely mounting home directories, so that even though it doesn't exist li><li>Repeat steps 1 through 6 on vm5, the machine would be mounting it from a server where it does existvm3.</li>
</ol>
