authconfig: command not found ubuntu

Question

I'm trying to use hashcat to validate a hashing algorithm but keeping this error when using authconfig command.

error: authconfig: command not found ubuntu

Am I missing something? I haven't installed ldap but the server is configured as LAMP.

The closest application to authconfig for Ubuntu is pam-auth-update — Adriano G. V. Esposito, Mar 27 '25 at 09:24

apt install ldap-auth-config

will generate a user-interactive prompt that will ask for your LDAP server name or IP and port number as well as the CN, OU and DC information.

I can only speak to Bionic Beaver as that's what I currently work with.

authconfig is not packaged with Ubuntu 14.04. You can use SSSD (System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) instead. I found this useful.

SSSD is not a replacement for authconfig and authconfig is useful even with SSSD installed and configured. See https://serverfault.com/questions/676284/home-dir-and-shell-for-active-directory-authenticated-users – Lucio Crusca Jan 28 '21 at 10:40
