(ITS#7509) 2.4 Admin Guide olcDatabase={0}config Clarification w.r.t. olcRootDN

by selling＠vml.com

Full_Name: Steven Elling Version: 2.4.* OS: Irrelevant URL: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/ Submission from: (NULL) (205.240.253.201) The OpenLDAP 2.4 Admin Guide makes no mention of the fact that the "olcRootDN" defined in "olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config" has full access to the "cn=config" DIT (i.e. That there is an implied "olcSuffix" value of "cn=config"). While I now understand this important detail, I think it is best to add this information to the documentation for clarification (or as a reminder) to new and current users of the OpenLDAP software.

(ITS#7508) 2.4 Administrator's Guide Missing Date on PDF Version

by selling＠vml.com

Full_Name: Steven Elling Version: 2.4.* OS: Irrelevant URL: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/OpenLDAP-Admin-Guide.pdf Submission from: (NULL) (205.240.253.201) The modified date of the OpenLDAP Software 2.4 Administrator's Guide really needs to be included in the PDF version like it is for both HTML versions. Without the modified date, it is difficult to tell whether a downloaded copy of the PDF is out of date or not.

(ITS#7507) OpenLDAP Software 2.4 Administrator's Guide PDF Correction (N-Way Multi-Master)

by selling＠vml.com

Full_Name: Steven Elling Version: 2.4.* OS: Irrelevant URL: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/OpenLDAP-Admin-Guide.pdf Submission from: (NULL) (205.240.253.201) In the "18.3.3. N-Way Multi-Master" section page 171 of the PDF formatted OpenLDAP Software 2.4 Administrator's Guide, the "olcLimits" option of the "olcDatabase={1}$BACKEND,cn=config" example provided is incomplete. It appears the PDF generator cut off the text of "olcLimits" that extended beyond the bounding box.

Re: (ITS#7506) Diffie-Hellman parameters (DHParamFile) are improperly handled

by ben＠bjencks.net

I suppose I should attach a test case: cd $WORKDIR openssl dhparam 1536 > dh1536.pem openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout server.key \ -out server.crt -sha256 -nodes -subj '/CN=localhost/' -x509 For GnuTLS, load the following config: dn: cn=config objectClass: olcGlobal cn: config olcTLSCertificateFile: $WORKDIR/server.crt olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: $WORKDIR/server.key olcTLSCipherSuite: NONE:+VERS-TLS1.1:+VERS-TLS1.0:+AES-128-CBC: +DHE-RSA:+SHA1:+COMP-NULL olcTLSDHParamFile: $WORKDIR/dh1536.pem dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig olcDatabase: {0}config For Openssl, change olcTLSCipherSuite to: olcTLSCipherSuite: aRSA+AES128+kEDH Start up slapd with the config, listening on ldaps://localhost:6636. openssl s_client -connect localhost:6636 With GnuTLS this will fail negotiation; with OpenSSL it will use 1024 bit parameters rather than the 1536 bits params we specified. The only way I've found to find the actual parameter size is to tcpdump the negotiation. First, verify that the negotiated cipher suite is DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA according to s_client, then: tcpdump -i lo -wldap.pcap port 6636 wireshark ldap.pcap Apply the SSL decode to the traffic (right click on packet, Decode As, Transport tab, SSL), find the Server Key Exchange packet, select the Server Key Exchange portion of the handshake message, and look at the hex dump. It should start with 0c, followed by a three byte size, then the next two bytes are the length of the DH parameters: 0080 for 1024 bits, 00c0 for 1536 bits.

(ITS#7506) Diffie-Hellman parameters (DHParamFile) are improperly handled

by ben＠bjencks.net

Full_Name: Ben Jencks Version: git master OS: Linux URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (2601:8:580:1d:5e6:2c43:96d0:4503) Both tls_g.c for GnuTLS and tls_o.c for OpenSSL have major problems in their handling of DHParamFile. Additionally, the documentation is not entirely accurate. For GnuTLS, DH parameters are entirely unimplemented. There appears to be an attempt at generating them in tlsg_ctx_init, but they're never attached to ctx->cred, so they're unused. Additionally, the size is hardcoded. For OpenSSL, there's an attempt to support multiple sizes, but unfortunately it's misusing the OpenSSL API and only 512 or 1024 bit parameters will ever be used. The callback with specified size is only useful for export ciphers: the size isn't negotiated, it's only specified as a maximum when the export flag is set [1]. You want to specify exactly one size and parameter set. The documentation refers to a non-existent TLSEphemeralDHParamFile option. Patches are available below: http://www.bjencks.net/openldap/0001-tls_g.c-Properly-support-DHParamFile... http://www.bjencks.net/openldap/0002-tls_o.c-Fix-Diffie-Hellman-parameter... http://www.bjencks.net/openldap/0003-DHParamFile-Update-docs.patch I'm a little uncomfortable with leaving a hardcoded parameter set in the OpenSSL code, but I figured it would break compatibility to remove it. A better solution (and the one recommended by OpenSSL) is to add parameter generation to the install scripts. If you'd prefer that, I can modify the patch to get rid of the hardcoded parameter and just not set a DH on the SSL_CTX without a file specified. The attached file is derived from OpenLDAP Software.

Re: (ITS#7503) slapcat: retry a few times when retrieving an entry

Hi Balint, I understand your intent, I'm simply noting it was the wrong approach. Supplying a patch that fixes the actual issue, if you choose to do so, simply means it will have a greater chance of being fixed sooner than later. I.e., it is not a high priority issue at this time for the openldap devs. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Sr. Member of Technical Staff Zimbra, Inc A Division of VMware, Inc. -------------------- Zimbra :: the leader in open source messaging and collaboration
