syncrepl LDIF kickstart file
by Scott Classen 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Hello openldap community, I have openldap 2.4.6 running on 2 machines. one master server with a BDB database acting as the syncrepl provider (the syncrep[l overlay has been added to the database configuration directive). I now have set up a second machine also running openldap 2.4.6 and I've been playing around with it trying to get it to act as a syncrepl consumer. I remember reading somewhere in the openldap documentation that it should be fairly straight forward with a simple 10-12 line LDIF file to get the synrepl consumer synched up with the provider. Can someone please post an example of such a simple kickstart file? Thanks ^6, Scott

Unexpected Attribute Behavior
by Kevin Burnett 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

I am implementing an OpenLDAP installation that utilizes inetOrgPerson as the main user structure with roughly forty attributes that may be used with each user. Of the forty attributes, I have added a custom schema which includes 15 custom attributes. I am using MySQL 5 as the backend via backsql. The problem I am seeing is that for a given user, if I write values to all 40 attributes and then read them back using an LDAP browser, three of the attributes do not return their values. The three attributes are: cn, userPassword, and employeeType. I have run slapd with the debug level of -1 (all) to capture a trace of what happens when I read an attribute that correctly returns its value and also a trace of reading an attribute that does not return its value (cn, userPassword, or employeeType). Comparing the two traces, the only appreciable difference between the two is as follows, which is in the failing trace: ==>backsql_id2entry() backsql_id2entry(): custom attribute list ==>backsql_get_attr_vals(): oc="inetOrgPerson" attr="employeeType" keyval=8 backsql_get_attr_vals(): error executing attribute count query 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE users.id=? AND ' Return code: -1 nativeErrCode=1064 SQLengineState=37000 msg="[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.0.45-community-log]You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1" ==>backsql_get_attr_vals(): oc="inetOrgPerson" attr="objectClass" keyval=8 I also set up a MySQL error trace and ran the two attribute reads and came up with the only appreciable difference being the SQL statement, as above: 43 Query SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE users.id=8 AND It appears to me that the SQL statement is not being completed for some reason, since in the slapd trace where the attribute read is successful, the backsql_get_attr_vals(); just prints out, number of values in query: 1, followed by, number of values in query: 0, followed by the actual data packets containing the value of the attribute. I can provide additional information if needed. I was unable to find information about this problem on the OpenLDAP site. Kevin Burnett

can't get ppolicy to work
by wahdi 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hi all, I have problem getting ppolicy working.. I use 2.3.38 version(bichan rpms), and this is a part of my slapd.conf : ---------------------------------------------------------- ... include /usr/share/openldap2.3/schema/ppolicy.schema moduleload ppolicy.la moduleload syncprov.la moduleload unique.la moduleload accesslog.la moduleload auditlog.la # security ssf=1 update_ssf=112 simple_bind=64 # database bdb suffix "dc=exemple,dc=com" rootdn "cn=admin,ou=system,dc=exemple,dc=com" rootpw {SSHA}hashedpassword directory /usr/local/ldap mode 0600 overlay syncprov syncprov-checkpoint 100 10 syncprov-sessionlog 100 ##ppolicy ppolicy_default "cn=default,ou=policies,ou=system,dc=exemple,dc=com" ppolicy_hash_cleartext ppolicy_use_lockout -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the ldiff file that I used to add the default policy: dn: cn=default,ou=policies,ou=system,dc=exemple,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: pwdPolicy objectClass: organizationalRole cn: default pwdAttribute: 2.5.4.35 pwdInHistory: 3 pwdCheckQuality: 2 pwdMinage: 60 pwdMaxAge: 0 pwdMinLength: 6 pwdLockout: TRUE pwdMaxFailure: 3 pwdLockoutDuration: 60 pwdAllowUserChange: TRUE pwdSafeModify: TRUE pwdMustChange: TRUE ### I didn't see any errors in slapd log file nor when I add this entry! But When I change new users password (after ppolicy installation and as users (not rootdn), there is no password policy applied: I changed pwdCheckQuality from 1 to 2, but the results is the same!! Any help will be appreciated. Wadi..

openldap 2.4.6 and GSSAPI/kerberos
by David E. Cross 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Ok... after a bit of a struggle, I have gotten OpenLDAP 2.4.6 going with MIT kerberos 1.6.3 with some small caveats... 1: (and you know this already), the documentation for the slapd.d format is.. uhm.. bad. For example the "slapd.ldif" in the source isn't even valid, the "module" section (commented out, but there) is missing the "cn:" specifier. 2: The documentation throughout for specifying entries like the RootDN tells you (via example) to double quote it.. this generates errors. 2: There is something awry with the kerberos 5/gssapi setup for using a krb5 credential as a RootDN; according to your documentation it should be of the form: uid=user/instance,cn=realm.com,cn=gssapi,cn=auth This isn't working for me. After enabling Auth logging I found that it authenticated me as: uid=user/instance,cn=gssapi,cn=auth (note the lack of realm...) "why?" have I botched something (which I may have), or is there an error with the documentation? -- David E. Cross

back-sql ldap_attr_mappings param_order column
by Kevin Burnett 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hello, I am using: OpenLDAP 2.3.38 on RHEL 4 Back-sql with MySQL Quick question. In the ldap_attr_mappings table there is a column called param_order. I have discovered that if I set it to the default of 3, that the information is passed to my stored procedures as attribute value, keyval (id). What are the other possible settings for this column and which setting will give me keyvalue (id), attribute value ? Thanks for creating a great product! Kevin Burnett

Openldap 2.4.6 with slapd.conf
by Patai Sangbutsarakum 17 Nov '07

17 Nov '07

Dear lister, I just upgrade to 2.4.6 and also Berkeley db 4.6. I'm using the same slapd.conf that was used with 2.3.38. I have the problem in the sql backend. Slapd cannot start if slapd.conf has more than 1 sql backend at the same time. If I have 2 sql backend, from -d -1 will complain about the 2nd backend as I snipped. >Return code: -2 >backsql_db_open(): schema mapping failed, exiting >backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed! (1) At first I thought it is about my mappings, but If I comment the first sql backend out. With same second database that slapd used to complain, the slapd could start and run fine (so, the mappings is correct). It seem like 2 of sql backend cannot stay in one slapd.conf Anyway, dbd database still can have 2 or more at the same time; slapd can start. ---------------- slapd.conf -------------------- database sql ## This following is for the sample database suffix "dc=example,dc=com" dbname bsql dbuser manager dbpasswd secret subtree_cond "ldap_entries.dn LIKE CONCAT('%',?)" insentry_stmt "INSERT INTO ldap_entries (dn,oc_map_id,parent,keyval) VALUES (?,?,?,?)" has_ldapinfo_dn_ru no # # # SQL database definitions ########################################## #database sql ## This following is for the sample database #suffix "dc=clone,dc=com" #dbname setup1 #dbuser richard #dbpasswd sinn #subtree_cond "ldap_entries.dn LIKE CONCAT('%',?)" #insentry_stmt "INSERT INTO ldap_entries (dn,oc_map_id,parent,keyval) VALUES (?,?,?,?)" #has_ldapinfo_dn_ru no ------------------------ END slapd.conf ------------------------------- please suggest Patrick

Re: [back-sql] possible?

<quote who="Patai Sangbutsarakum"> <snip> > Hope this make sense > Please Please suggest > I suggest you try to explain to problem you are trying to solve here. Why do you need the sql backend to start with? It's usually the very last option to chose, where you are forced due to legacy applications and many other reasons. Gavin.
