NIS to ldap layout
by Eric Ritchie 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

I have 3 NIS domains I wish to convert to ldap. I would like to keep 3 separate areas in ldap since the NIS domains have different accounts. I created a base dn and loaded data under 3 higher levels, such as base is dc=xyz,dc=com and dc=a,dc=xyz,dc=com dc=b,dc=xyz,dc=com dc=c,dc=xyz,dc=com. Then if I want client one to be in domain a, I set its base to dc=a,dc=xyz,dc=com. This works for host name lookups but when another host tries to login to the box via telnet or rsh, the login hangs after the password is entered, ssh works though. If I specify a binddn on the client with dc=a,dc=xyz,dc=com, I can login via telnet and rsh but name lookups fail on the host. Any idea what is causing this? Is this the best way to have separate DBs for clients? Thanks -- Eric Ritchie Interactive Brokers LLC 203-618-5868

Authentication against translucent ldap server
by Javier Barroso 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

Hi, I've configured ldap translucent overlay with slapd-ldap as backend. Then I changed userPassword of a user. When I try to auth to the translucent server, the new password is not valid, and I have to introduce the password that be in ldap server which is being proxied. I would like new password would be the password used for auth. Do you know how could I configure such approach ? Thank you in advanced

Having troubles compiling openldap
by chris croswhite 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

Folks, There is probably an easy answer to this, however, I am stuck trying to compile openldap: getpeereid.c: In function 'lutil_getpeereid': getpeereid.c:64: error: storage size of 'peercred' isn't known make[2]: *** [getpeereid.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/openldap-2.4.8/libraries/liblutil' make[1]: *** [all-common] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/openldap-2.4.8/libraries' make: *** [all-common] Error 1 The struct type has its prototype in file sys/ucred.h but on linux (or at least all the variants I looked at), this is not a typical system file and google leads me to believe this is a BSD/BSD-variant system header. I am building with gcc4.3 and a linux w/2.4.25 kernel. Any clue what I am doing wrong here? Thanks!

Re: Numerical result out of range ... not solvable !
by Tamer Al-Khouli 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

But the entry exists in the openLDAP database and that's where it should check for it (since i configured pam to do do that). This is the whole point i am trying to get from centralized user authentication after all !! The openLDAP sever should be contacted to authenticate the users from different clients without the need for these clients to use their /etc/passwd files !

Numerical result out of range ... not solvable !
by Tamer Al-Khouli 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

Hi guys, I am setting up a centralized authentication server using openLDAP without TLS/SSL. I added the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow entries, an looked them up using: $ldapsearch -x -D "uid=user1,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" -w user1 "(objectclass=*)" where user1 is the password of the user user1, and i got all the entries. I also configured pam so that it uses pam_ldap. However, when i use the command su to switch to user1 ( which i commented out from /etc/passwd/) i get a message telling me that the user does not exist. Running slapd in the debugging mode i notice an errno=34 "Numerical result out of range". I googled it and found that this can be solved by adding the directives sockbuf_max_incoming and sockbuf_max_incoming_auth. I added the directives and tried with many values like 1234567, 999999, 9999999 for each of the them, still, i am getting the same error message. What else can i do to get rid of this error ?!
