Reg OpenLdap on Ubuntu
by Asimananda Mohanty
Hi All,
I am currently busy configuring OpenLdap on my newly installed Ubuntu 9.04.
Here is what I have done till now.
I followed the steps defined in
https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html and
installation was successful. I installed PhpLdapAdmin also.
After I created certificate, key etc, I created a .ldif file
(enable-ca.ldif) with the following content :
*dn: cn=config
add: olcTLSCACertificateFile
olcTLSCACertificateFile: /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem
-
add: olcTLSCertificateFile
olcTLSCertificateFile: /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
-
add: olcTLSCertificateKeyFile
olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/ssl/private/server.key*
Then I executed the command :
*ldapmodify -D "cn=admin,cn=config" -x -w 12345678 -f enable-ca.ldif*
and it was a success.
But after this, when I tried to restart slapd, I got errors like the
following :
*main: TLS init def ctx failed: -1*
I noticed that after I executed "ldapmodify -D "cn=admin,cn=config" -x -w
12345678 -f enable-ca.ldif", 3 lines are added to
/etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif
and when I commented the last two lines like the following, slapd started
successfully.
*olcTLSCACertificateFile: /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem
#olcTLSCertificateFile: /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
#olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/ssl/private/server.key*
This looks quite strange.
Please help me resolving the same.

Forced password change not allowed
by mlb＠imparisystems.com
I've got openLDAP running and installed the pam and nss libraries so it
would also control the Linux passwords. I'm trying to sign onto my server
using ssh - but once I enter my username and password, I get
WARNING: Your password has expired.
You must change your password now and login again!
Enter login(LDAP) password:
Now being a bad security person, I always use the exact same username /
password combination and they don't work.
If a use either nothing (just hit Enter) or if I put in the standard
password I get
passwd: Authentication information cannot be recovered
passwd: password unchanged
Connection to ubuntu closed.
If I enter in some nonsensical string I get
LDAP Password incorrect: try again
Enter login(LDAP) password:
However, that is the only root level user on the machine and I have TONS of
stuff on it. How do I fix? Is this an openLDAP issue or something else?
Thanks

SASL LDAP binding over IPv6
by Xu, Qiang (FXSGSC)
Hi, all:
In using ldapsearch to bind to a server with IPv6 address, some error pops up:
===========================================================

additional info: SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (Server not found in Kerberos database)
===========================================================
Shall I add the brackets [] around the IPv6 address? DNS server has been correctly set up, because sasl binding over IPv4 address is good.
Any possible reason for the failure of ldapsearch?

force creation of a "glue" node in the database?
by Robert Hanson
Using 2.4.16 on RedHat Linux. Does anyone know of a way to force the creation of a "glue" node in ldap?
Here is the scenario:
For some (as yet unknown) reason, our database sometimes has "glue" nodes. I'm suspecting this relates to syncrepl, but have not been able to diagnose the problem yet. I'm working on adding the manageDSAit control to our server requests (using the c client interface). I'd like a way to test this automatically. One way to do that would be to have the test program create a "glue" node and see that it can be found by the client code.
I can't find a way to get the glue node created; I'm always getting a error 65 invalid structural object class chain.

RE: entries exist in ldap (as glue entries), but are missing from the tree (v2.4.16)
by Robert Hanson
What I need is to have the "glue" items returned as part of the search. It looks to me like I can get nodes that are "glue" nodes to be part of the results by commenting out these lines:
in src\servers\slapd\back-bdb\search.c, lilnes 908-91
if ( !manageDSAit && is_entry_glue( e )) {
goto loop_continue;
}
If I comment out these lines, then I get the results I'm looking for.
Are there any other implications to the "glue" nodes? It looks like I'm able to edit and delete these nodes as well. But there is code in delete.c, modify.c, modrdn.c that worry about glue nodes.
Another option would be to redefine the is_entry_glue macro to always return false. Is that a better approach?

Subject: entries exist in ldap (as glue entries), but are missing from the tree (v2.4.16)
Is this bug ITS#4626? Or is there a workaround?
====
Using a build of 2.4.16 on RedHat linux; in a multi-master environment with 2 nodes. On both nodes, I have a tree that has a node "ou=Company, o=MyCompanyName". Under that are several nodes that are "glue" nodes. Following those is a actual data node.
Slapd 2.4.16, built from source, running on redhat linux)
I have seen this occur several times on various test systems with similar configurations.
The data in these nodes is inserted, in the proper order, (parent then children) using ldap client calls (ldap_add_s). Later, when I go to look at the output of slapcat, I see that some nodes are replaced with "glue" nodes.
Questions:
1) Why are these glue nodes created? Is there a known bug that will cause existing nodes to be deleted without the children being deleted? Is this an issue in replication? (where syncrepl needs to create a node where the parent does not exist). Is that why the glue nodes are created later?
2) How can I change the "glue" to some other class? Can that be done programmatically?
3)

Radius authentication and storing passwords in cleartext
by Eric Bourkland
I have zimbra openLDAP v2.3.43 running on RHEL4.7 ES and I am trying to connect our freeRadius server to authenitcate against LDAP. I have also being trying to stand up plane openLDAP v2.4.17 to see if I can get that to work.
Free Radius requires PEAP/CHAPv2 to authenticate, which means it needs to be handed a clear text password in order to work. Yes, I know in general this is not a good idea.
How can I configure openLDAP to store passwords (userpassword attribute) in cleartext.
Or at the very least create a script that will be able to take the encrypted password and store it in cleartext as another attribute.
Thanks,

Member-of plugin support for nested membership
by Mathias Gug
Hi,
While discussing the possibility of using openldap in place of 389
directory in the FreeIPA project [1] the following technical detail was
mentioned.
[1]: https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-devel/2009-July/msg00333.html
According to the memberof overlay man page:
The memberof overlay to slapd(8) allows automatic reverse group member‐
ship maintenance. Any time a group entry is modified, its members are
modified as appropriate in order to keep a DN-valued "is member of"
attribute updated with the DN of the group.
Does the memberOf overlay deal with nested membership? Or is it
strictly a 1:1 relationship (forward pointer, reverse pointer)?
The 389 memberOf plug-in maintains reverse pointers for inherited
membership which IPA takes advantage of.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I guess that my goal to have an Active Directory proxied properly is not going to happen. I would need a complete AD schema for OpenLDAP, and that's probably now available anywhere.
