Hello,
We have a openldap server setup and we integrated SLES 9 servers to them but we wanted to integrate sudo from ldap which is not working.
Could anyone help on this?
sudoers_base has been defined in /etc/ldap.conf.

SLES 9… wow.
First, I do not know, nor have I tried with SLES 9. I believe I knew
customers doing this actively (tens of thousands of systems in one
environment) with SLES 10, and of course SLES 11 and 12 are supported so
those should work.
If I were you I’d probably put a script on the SLES 9 boxes that pulls the
LDAP configuration into an /etc/sudoers file and then go with that. Not
quite as elegant, but if the alternative doesn’t work, at least this might.
–
Good luck.

Hello ab,
Thanks for quick response!
Currently we are updating the local ldap client sudoers to give access to the groups/users.
I could see on SLES11 and above we have a below schema integrated on the sudo package but not in SLES 9, anyhow if any solution found I would be happy to know it. 
/etc/openldap/schema
/etc/openldap/schema/sudo.schema
/usr/share/doc/packages/sudo/sudoers.ldap.pod
/usr/share/man/man5/sudoers.ldap.5.gz

I suppose if you’re in an experimenting mood you could try to see if sudo
from SLES 10 (I presume you’ve checked all of the latest SLES 9 patches)
could be installed on SLES 9, or maybe even SLES 11’s version. There are
probably a ton of changes that will prevent that from being successful,
but if your other option is nothing working then it may be worth a shot.

Good luck.
