The command "authconfig --update --disableldapauth" is used to update the authentication configuration on a Linux system and disable LDAP authentication.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"authconfig" is the command-line tool used to configure system authentication settings on Linux systems.
-
"--update" is an option that instructs the command to update the authentication configuration.
-
"--disableldapauth" is an option that tells the command to disable LDAP authentication. LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a protocol used for accessing and maintaining directory services over a network.
By running this command, you are requesting the "authconfig" tool to disable LDAP authentication on the system. This means that LDAP-based user authentication and authorization will no longer be used or supported.
Note: Running this command may require administrative privileges (e.g., using "sudo" before the command) as it modifies system-level authentication settings.
