Hi I've just installed Ubuntu 18.04 When I go to settings / online accounts and click Ubuntu Single Sing-ON and input the correct credentials it just hangs on "Connecting..." and doesn't do anything. If I put incorrect details in however It almost immediately tells me that the credentials are incorrect. Is this a bug or me being silly and is there a work around?
Thanks For any help.
Instead of maintaining local user accounts, I would like to be able to use Ubuntu SSO (Ubuntu One) accounts to authenticate the logins to my Ubuntu machine.
Any chance?
How do I make sure that all users have their home directory encrypted when the login for the first time?
I have setup pam to use Kerberos authentication and LDAP authorization (which I think should not really have any effect on ecryptfs).
I have also setup pam-mkhomedir to create the home directories from /etc/skel in which I have placed some standard configurations.
Looking at the .ecryptfs directory in one user account that already has ecryptfs enabled, there are some user-specific configurations, such as the mountpoint (set to /home/d_inevitable) for example, which would be no good in /etc/skel.
Also the configurations in /etc/skel would need to be copied after the home directory has been mounted with ecryptfs.
Canonical operates at least two OpenID based login services within the Ubuntu online world: Ubuntu Single Sign On and the Launchpad Login Service. According to the information in the footer of both sites they share the same backing software which is called Canonical SSO provider.
My question is whether these two sites are entirely separate implementations or do they share the same user database? Alternatively, is there some other less direct relationship between the two services?
In other words, if I didn't have an account with either service and I created a new account with Ubuntu Single Sign On would I then also have a Launchpad Login Service account? What about the inverse scenario?
I know that the Launchpad Login Service existed earlier than Ubuntu Single Sign On. I also know that I was able to use my existing Launchpad login details with the Ubuntu SSO when it was launched. However, I've never been clear if these are the same account or if my Launchpad account was copied to the newer service and they are now separate.
At login.ubuntu.com it says Ubuntu Single Sign On. What are its uses? How is it useful?
