WARNING: No dynamic config support for overlay ppolicy? - SOLVED
by Errol Neal 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

>>Your "overlay ppolicy" clause is in the wrong place. Look at the >>test022 example more carefully, and read the You were ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! Very happy - thank you very much. I reworked my slapd.conf file paying attention to test022 and my password policies are working now. Thank you very much Howard! But whats up with the error regarding dynamic overlays at start up?

By the way, test049 was just added to CVS HEAD showing exactly how to do this. It starts with a bare minimum slave server that pulls its entire configuration and all database contents from a provider. You can play around with it to get an idea of what the 2.4 release will offer. This feature is most likely not in its final form; some type of filtering still needs to be developed to allow parts of the slave configuration to be different from the provider. -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc OpenLDAP Core Team http://www.openldap.org/project/

problems with bdb-indexes
by peter pilsl 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

I set up a simple ldap-backend to maintain our systems userdatabase. After finding loads of entries in my log like: Jan 22 17:51:10 ihf2 slapd[18454]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (uid) index_param failed (18) I looked up the docs and found that this is cause no proper index for uid is defined. So I setup a index in slapd.conf index uid eq Now there are no such messages in my logs again, but ldap-search does not work anymore !!! And all applications that rely on ldap (postfix, cyrus, nss, pam ..) dont work proper anymore. As soon as I remove the index, everything is working fine again. This is very strange to me. The proper index-file is created in my ldap-directory: uid.bdb when slapd is started, so I dont think I need to manually create the index after setting an index to an already existing ldap-datebase. I also didnt find anything in the docs about creating an index mannually. example: without the uid-index: $ldapsearch -x uid=peter mail # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <> with scope sub # filter: uid=peter # requesting: mail # # peter, user, ihf.local dn: uid=peter,ou=user,dc=ihf,dc=local mail: pilsl(a)ihf-hr.org # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 and now with the index active: $ldapsearch -x uid=peter mail # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <> with scope sub # filter: uid=peter # requesting: mail # # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 1 -------------------------------------------- my slapd.conf: include /etc/ldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/nis.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/openldap.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/samba.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/mail.schema schemacheck on pidfile /var/run/slapd/slapd.pid argsfile /var/run/slapd.args loglevel 2048 modulepath /usr/lib/ldap moduleload back_bdb backend bdb checkpoint 512 30 database bdb suffix "dc=ihf,dc=local" directory "/data/ldap/ihf" index objectClass eq lastmod on rootdn "cn=ldapadmin,dc=ihf,dc=local" rootpw {SSHA}xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Access to * by * read access to attr=userPassword,userPKCS12 by self write by * auth access to attr=shadowLastChange by self write by * read access to * by * read access to dn.base="" by * read access to * by dn="cn=ldapadmin,dc=ihf,dc=local" write by self write by * read thnx for any idea, peter ps: I use slapd 2.2.26 on a ubuntu 6.10-machine -- mag. peter pilsl - goldfisch.at IT-Consulting Tel: +43-650-3574035 Tel: +43-1-8900602 Fax: +43-1-8900602-15 skype: peter.pilsl pilsl(a)goldfisch.at www.goldfisch.at

How to chase referrals
by S Kalyanasundaram 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Hi, What i have done this, char *ldap_username="xx"; char *ldap_password="xx"; if( ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, LDAP_OPT_ON) != 0) { log_error("LDAP set Optoin for referral"); } if( ldap_set_rebind_proc(ld, get_rebind, NULL) != 0) { log_error("LDAP set Optoin for rebind"); } static int get_rebind( LDAP *ld, char **whop, char **credp,int *methodp, int freeit, void* arg ) { if ( !freeit ) { *whop = ldap_username; *credp = ldap_password; *methodp = LDAP_AUTH_SIMPLE; } return( LDAP_SUCCESS ); } This cause be Segfault. I traced with gdb when it reaches this function get_rebind it gives like "credb" address is ox63 and methodp is 0x2. I dont understand why the low address has come up for these variables. Then i added the following, static int LDAP_CALL LDAP_CALLBACK get_rebind ... but it gives me the compilation error. What i am missing here. Can you find something odd here. thanks a lot for your help, -"kalyan"

Re: How to only accept TLS connection on port 389

You can require TLS (SSL) via the slapd.conf(5) security directive. The client can then either use ldap:// (to whatever port(s) you have configured slapd(8) to listen on) and initiate TLS via the Start TLS operation or use ldaps:// (to whatever port(s) you have configured slapd(8) on) and initiate TLS upon connecting. If you want to restrict clients to using just the former or the latter, eliminate one or the other listener. >I've searched for quite a while and it seems that the only option is >to disable listening on port 389 alltogether and only listen on port >636. While ldap:// uses 389 by default and ldaps:// uses 636 by default, one can actually use ldap:// or ldaps:// on any port. >But this isn't good for my purpose, as some broken clients only work >over TLS on port 389 ldap:// on port 389 and use of Start TLS operation to initiate TLS (SSL) is the standard way of securing LDAP with TLS.

Thanks for the quick response! I'm using 2.3.27 because it was The Stable Release when I started this. I'll move to the latest stable release after I get ppolicy figured out.

The failure is just due to the way my startup script (ldap) handles the warning. The warning is the same as before. config_build_entry: "cn=schema" config_build_entry: "cn={0}core" config_build_entry: "cn={1}cosine" config_build_entry: "cn={2}inetorgperson" config_build_entry: "cn={3}nis" config_build_entry: "cn={4}acs" config_build_entry: "cn={5}ppolicy" config_build_entry: "olcDatabase={-1}frontend" config_build_entry: "olcDatabase={0}config" config_build_entry: "olcDatabase={1}bdb" WARNING: No dynamic config support for overlay ppolicy. config_build_entry: "olcOverlay={0}ppolicy" backend_startup_one: starting "c=US" bdb_db_open: c=US bdb_db_open: dbenv_open(/var/lib/ldap/openldap-data) Is it true that the above warning does NOT indicate that ppolicy is not successfully loaded, and that in fact everything should be just fine?

pesky ppolicy problems
by Metcalf, Roger 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

I am trying to use the ppolicy overlay. I've searched, read and experimented and can't get it to work. I've read other similar postings with similar problems but haven't found the one with the answer. My OpenLDAP knowledge is intermediate. I download 2.3.27, then build it: env LIBS="-L/usr/bin" \ ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local \ --libdir=/usr/local/lib \ --sbindir=/usr/sbin \ --libexecdir=/usr/sbin \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var/lib/ldap \ --enable-overlays=mod \ --enable-dynamic=yes \ --enable-modules=yes \ --enable-ppolicy=yes && make depend && make I include ppolicy in slapd.conf. include /etc/openldap/schema/ppolicy.schema overlay ppolicy ppolicy_default "cn=Standard Policy,ou=Policies,c=us" ppolicy_hash_cleartext ppolicy_use_lockout I have tried with and without modulepath and moduleload. I suspect they are not needed but am not sure. modulepath /usr/sbin moduleload ppolicy.la I have created a policy structure in my repository. I don't really care if ppolicy is statically or dynamically loaded, I just want it to be available! The problem may be that I really don't get the meaning or dependencies of enable-dynamic, enable-modules, enable-overlays, enable-static, enable-shared. My goal is simple : to get ppolicy working in the simplest way. Problems: /etc/init.d/ldap start -- WARNING: No dynamic config support for overlay ppolicy. This apparently is more than just a "warning" because startup fails. I figured Symas CDS silver would work, so I downloaded it, commented out the ppolicy lines: # Load an instance of the ppolicy overlay for the current database: overlay ppolicy ppolicy_default "cn=Standard Policy,ou=Policies,c=us" ppolicy_hash_cleartext ppolicy_use_lockout and put -d -1 into EXTRA_SLAPD_ARGS so I could see what happens. With this: # Uncomment the following moduleload to add support for # password policies. Refer to the example below and to # slapo-ppolicy(5) for additional information. moduleload ppolicy.la I get: line 93 (moduleload ppolicy.la) lt_dlopenext failed: (ppolicy.la) file not found /opt/symas/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 93: <moduleload> handler exited with 1! With this: #moduleload ppolicy.la I get this: line 234 (overlay ppolicy) overlay "ppolicy" not found /opt/symas/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 234: <overlay> handler exited with 1! What makes this all the more frustrating is that test022-ppolicy appears to work fine. I have examined its .conf file and environment variables, etc and can't extract the secret. Questions: 1) Where is ppolicy.la located? 2) Does it need to be loaded? 3) Where is the path to it specified? 4) When are moduleload specs needed? 5) Are env variables needed to find ppolicy.la? 6) What's the secret? 7) When will the book be published? All advice welcome. Thanks, Roger Metcalf
