Hi,

After a successful GSSAPI binding, is there an easy way to get the DN for that user from the server?

Well, are you mapping the users to an entry in the server? If yes, then use that DN.

If not, then use the SASL authz ID. The logs are generally pretty clear at loglevel 256 what DN is being used.

For example:

Jan 23 14:29:00 ldap1 slapd[22096]: conn=11888542 op=2 BIND authcid="webauth/proxy.stanford.edu@stanford.edu" authzid="webauth/proxy.stanford.edu@stanford.edu"

So here's the authz DN (webauth/proxy.stanford.edu@stanford.edu).

Jan 23 14:29:00 ldap1 slapd[22096]: conn=11888542 op=2 BIND dn="cn=proxy,cn=webauth,cn=applications,dc=stanford,dc=edu" mech=GSSAPI ssf=56

And here's the DN of what I map it to:

cn=proxy,cn=webauth,cn=applications,dc=stanford,dc=edu

In case you haven't played with mappings, here's how the mapping is done:

sasl-regexp uid=webauth/(.*),cn=stanford.edu,cn=gssapi,cn=auth ldap:///cn=Webauth,cn=Applications,dc=stanford,dc=edu??sub?krb5PrincipalName=webauth/$1@stanford.edu

And this is what the internal entry looks like:

ldap1:~> lsearch cn=proxy dn: cn=proxy,cn=webauth,cn=applications,dc=stanford,dc=edu objectClass: applicationProcess objectClass: suApplication objectClass: krb5Principal cn: proxy description: webauth access for proxy.stanford.edu krb5PrincipalName: webauth/proxy.stanford.edu@stanford.edu

Just to give you some thoughts to ponder. ;)

KR

Use the LDAP WhoAmI extended operation. That's what the ldapwhoami commandline tool does.

Would you be looking for something like int ldap_whoami_s(LDAP *, struct berval **authzid, 0, 0) ?

I think that's exactly what I was looking for, just didn't know what it was called.

Thanks

sasl returns an authentication string something like uid=<user>,cn=<realm>,cn=<mechanism>,cn=auth this string can be mapped to an entry, see the authz-regexp directive in slapd.conf(5).

Thanks,

I guess I wasn't clear enough, I'm working on the client and need to get the DN from the server after performing a GSSAPI bind.

ldap_whoami_s(...) looks like it should work, although right now I'm getting an LDAP_DECODING_ERROR (-4) from it, and I don't know why.

Any ideas what causes that error. The client is using openldap 2.3.24 on a linux system, and the server is Windows 2000 Active Directory.

This error means the library was unable to decode the response PDU.

Most likely a malformed response PDU.

You should verify the server in question supports the LDAP Whoami? operation (RFC 4532). If the server doesn't support this, you might see if the server supports authorization identity controls (RFC 3829). Otherwise, you might see if the server supports some other means for obtaining the desired information. A forum about AD would be an appropriate place to ask such questions.

Oh. Well, you might ask on some other forum whether Active Directory supports this operation - specifically, 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.11.3

In your shoes, I would be guessing that it doesn't, but we're not the right people to ask.
