Hi Matthew, I've tested your patch against HEAD and there seems to be a bug left open within (or even newly introduced by?) your patch: I've added Quanah into cc as his Call for 2.4.43RE testing seems to depend on this ITS. Executive summary: ;-) ====================== *** glibc detected *** /usr/local/openldap/sbin/slaptest: free(): invalid pointer: 0x09d507d8 *** Technical details: ;-) ====================== If I remove the following refint configuration directive from cn=config's refint-ldif file: olcRefintModifiersName: uid=refintOverlay,ou=users,ou=mgmt,ou=example.com,dc=f oo,dc=bar slaptest & slapd both startup fine. If the above statement is contained in the current configuration it results in an "invalid pointer" crash during slaptest and also during slapd startup (see below)...

(ITS#6574) back-meta does not rebind as user when retrying
by masarati＠aero.polimi.it 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

Full_Name: Pierangelo Masarati Version: HEAD/re24 OS: irrelevant URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (129.72.141.2) Submitted by: ando While retrying, back-meta destroys the failed connection to a remote target, and re-creates it. However, it loses the credentials, while restoring the bound DN. As a consequence, the connection looks bound, but it's actually anonymous. A fix is coming. The fix either preserves the credentials, when rebind-as-user is set, or turns the connection into anonymous. The latter case is of little practical use, and should only be used in conjunction with idassert, so that in case of retry, from that point on identity is asserted. p.

As soon as the client receives a err=52 (LDAP_UNAVAILABLE), the connection is compromised. Back-ldap destroys the cached connection, since it does not work. As a consequence, the related credentials are forgotten. The client should give up, as the proxy already retried and failed (if it succeeded, the whole point would be moot, as the client wouldn't even know that the connection between the proxy and the remote server was broken). p.

In this case, the client is the OpenLDAP libraries. Please at least re-consider for fixing, even in a "help wanted" or "pending" status, rather than just closing. Either the client library should be fixed to send an unbind before disconnecting in all circumstances (i.e. ldapi:/// as well as ldap:///), or it should be confirmed and documented that the unbind is not necessary, in which case the server should be fixed to not output the "connection_read(): no connection!" events at the default logging level. I don't see messages filling the log. I don't see any issue here at all. > I'm not the only one seeing this. My link to the OpenLDAP mailing list above, as well as Gergely's inquiry into this ITS are 2 directly related occurrences observed by others.

While this may be true, in any production environment, you can almost be guaranteed that there will be login attempts with invalid credentials - even just due to users mistyping their password on occasion, using CAPS lock, etc. Again, the log entry should either be suppressed at the default logging level (preferred), or at least re-worded to something more meaningful, e.g. "Received invalid login attempt; disconnecting client". However, even then, this should be made to work the same regardless of protocol used for consistency. This may not be a high priority or interesting issue to fix, but please don't simply ignore what seems to be a very reasonable request.

"Fixing" libldap, if there's even a bug there, obviously won't help with other clients using non-OpenLDAP libraries. At any rate, there's nothing that requires an Unbind request to be sent, so there's no bug here. I don't see messages filling the log. I don't see any issue here at all. I was only able to reproduce this by performing a Bind with invalid credentials. In the case with correct credentials, there were no extraneous messages. If you're seeing a lot of these cases, then you should think about why you're getting a lot of Binds with invalid passwords. Fix the problem, not the symptom.

Hi! Do we have any chance that this bug will be rectified recently? I believe a communication issue like this should do taken as being important. It makes the log check a huge pain, and I don't think ,,hiding'' the log is a real solution. Thank You, Gergely Kral

(ITS#6572) slapd crash caused by refint's cn=config modification

Full_Name: Daniel Pluta Version: 2.4.21 OS: Lnx URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (2001:470:9feb:ff02:6834:fd61:37f:67da) Hi, after a silly typo (removed the "," rdn-separator character) in refint's cn=config settings while modifying "olcRefintNothing" attribute the attribute contained the following escaped value: olcRefintNothing: cn=refintcn\3Dconfig Using ldapmodify with cn=config to correct this value back into e.g. "cn=refint,cn=config" caused slapd to crash. Re-starting slapd (recovering db files...) worked fine but the value of course is still the "ugly" one above. Trying to correct (using ldapmodify) this value once more caused slapd to crash again.

Kurt, I somewhat can understand your concerns. But as a general answer to your comment above: There is already a lot of code in OpenLDAP for which no RFC or at least an I-D was specified but which serves a certain use-case. Strictly (following your statement above) speaking one would have to hunk out all the stuff only specified in I-Ds. So I don't see the strong need to be overly strict here. Quality of certain code is another story. But I cannot comment on this. Ciao, Michael.

There's already LDAP_AUTH_NEGOTIATE which does this. So technically, = the API is already exposed via ldap_bind_s.

Lastly, I note that it might be good for proponent of this feature to at = least offer extensions to ldapwhoami(1) and other command line tools. = Aside from the educational value that would provide to developers in how = this feature would be used along side other libldap features (such as = ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s), it would provide a means to test the = code.

In looking at the code a bit more closely, one could argue that what = this code actually provides is an alternative to = ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s() which, instead of negotiating any = mechanism, is designed to negotiate GSS API mechanisms via GSS-SPNEGO. = In that light, maybe it should be integrated into = ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s() or renamed to be more clear to be a = higher level negotiation routine, maybe ldap_sasl_gss_spnego_bind_s(). However, one issue I have with this code is that highly dependent = behaviors which, aside from not be standardized, aren't even specified = in RFCs. For instance, there is no RFC describing dnsHostName or = ldapServiceName or any specification detailing how GSS-SPNEGO is to be = used in LDAP. Without a formal specification (e.g., RFC), I oppose = release of this code. That is, it should stay HEAD only until such time = that a formal specification (e.g., RFC) is available. I would assume GSS-SPNEGO is usable without these attributes. It seems = odd to me that this code requires them. I note that use of the SASL GSS-SPNEGO in LDAP has actually be = discouraged in IETF circles because SASL "GSS-SPNEGO" is itself not well = specified and multiple levels of negotiation leads to downgrade attacks. = The general consensus in the IETF seems that application protocol = clients (including LDAP clients) should use SASL mechanism negotiation = to select mechanisms, whether GSS API based mechanisms or non GSS API = based mechanisms. There is a general move on foot that all new SASL = mechanisms be described as GSS API mechanisms, ala SCRAM. -- Kurt=

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Howard, We are trying to make likewise-open packages available for Fedora but they only want to pull OpenLDAP patches from upstream. So I'm in a bit of a spot here. You've already accepted the lsap_bind_gssapi patch, this one simply exposes the existing code. Is it just the public ldap_bind_gssapi_s() signature that you have an issue with? If, as you suggest, we give you a patch that adds an LDAP_AUTH_GSSAPI flag to ldap_bind_s() but keep the same (existing) ldap_bind_gssapi_s() internals, would that be acceptable? cheers, jerry - -- Director of Engineering http://www.likewise.com/ Likewise-CIFS http://www.likewiseopen.org/ "What man is a man who does not make the world better?" --Balian On 6/2/10 12:10 AM, Scott Salley wrote: > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Howard Chu [mailto:hyc@symas.com] > Sent: Tue 6/1/2010 6:07 PM > To: Scott Salley > Cc: openldap-its(a)openldap.org > Subject: Re: (ITS#6567) Enable GSSAPI support and expose ldap_gssadpi_bind_s > > ssalley(a)likewise.com wrote: >> Full_Name: Scott Salley >> Version: HEAD >> OS: Linux >> URL: > http://archives.likewiseopen.org/~ssalley/OpenLDAP/scott-salley-100601-defi… >> Submission from: (NULL) (67.51.54.234) >> >> >> Note that a similar issue/contribution was submitted in 2008 > (Contrib/5369) and >> appears to have been 'lost'. > >> The patch > http://archives.likewiseopen.org/~ssalley/OpenLDAP/scott-salley-100601-defi… >> makes it possible to use the GSSAPI support in OpenLDAP by: >> >> 1.
