Syncrepl in OpenLDAP-2.4.20
by Ralf Zimmermann 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

Hi all, today I have made tests with Version 2.4.21 and my 2.4.20 configuration. When I start slapd I get following error message: config error processing olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config: <olcSyncrepl> invalid URL olcSyncrepl: value #0: <olcSyncrepl> invalid URL In the slapd.conf is a syncrepl section. If I add a 'uri=ldap://<server>' to the syncrepl directive and I create a online configuration with 'slaptest -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d' the olc ldif file contains a uri with 'uri=ldap://<server>'. If I didn't define uri in slapd.conf syncrepl directive the uri in the olc ldif file was empty and slapd is not starting. I have take a look to the CHANGES and the man pages, but I didn't found anything about the uri parameter in the syncrepl section. Why is this parameter not documented or where is my problem? regards Ralf Zimmermann -- .''`.

idea for access rules #2
by Stefan Palme 21 Feb '10

21 Feb '10

Hi again, Have a subtree like this: ou=users cn=me ou=data ou=data1 cn=fact1 cn=fact2, owner=cn=me,ou=users ou=data2 cn=fact3 cn=fact4 So this time, some child elements of a dataX-subtree are "owned" by certain users. What I want: when a user (cn=me) traverses the LDAP tree, (s)he should only see the dataX-subtrees with at least one child owned by this user. For the example above, the user cn=me should get read access to "ou=data1" and to "cn=fact2,ou=data1", but he should NOT get read access to ou=data2 and its children. Specifying the access to the "cn=factX" entries is already solved, now the only problem is to deny access to some of the "ou=dataX" subtrees: My current idea is something like this: access to dn.regex="(ou=[^,]+,ou=data)" by set.expand="([ldap://127.0.0.1?base=$1?scope=sub]/owner) & user" which should find all entries in a dataX subtree, collect their owners and "compare" them with the current user. But this does not look "nice" to me because of the additional required LDAP search. Is there a more straightforward solution for this? If not: is this search operation really EXECUTED? Which bind DN is used to execute the search? The "current" one? I guess, to find the search results for the LDAP query all access rules for the current user apply? Thanks and regards -stefan-

idea for access rules
by Stefan Palme 21 Feb '10

21 Feb '10

Hi all, maybe this is not the right list for this question, in this case I apologize for this post.. I have no idea to define access rules for the following case. Have an LDAP tree like this: ou=users cn=me ou=data ou=data1, owner=cn=me,ou=users cn=fact1 cn=fact2 ou=data2, owner=cn=somebodyelse,ou=users cn=fact3 cn=fact4 (one line represents one LDAP entry with some of its attributes, the level of indentation represents the tree structure) The point is the subtree starting at "ou=data1". The root node of this subtree (ou=data1) has an attribute "owner" with a DN of a user account which can be used to bind to the LDAP server (cn=me,ou=users). Now I want to define, that this specific user has write access to some attributes of cn=fact1,ou=data1 and cn=fact2,ou=data2 etc... I am searching for a rule like this: access to "cn=[^,]+,ou=data1,ou=data" attrs="attr1,attr2,attr3" by dnattr="owner of node ou=data1,ou=data" write Obviously, this dnattr syntax is not valid, but I guess you see what I want. Any ideas how to realize this? Thanks for any hints Regards -stefan-

attributes order
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Manao ahoana, Hello, Bonjour, Hi all I have 3 custom attributes: - actionDate - commentContent - commentId I populated my OpenLDAP with a shell script and "ldapadd", and when searching with "ldapsearch", attributes are displayed all in the order: - actionDate - commentContent - commentId Now I use the Ocaml LDAP binding (ocamldap) to add several entries. While searching again, entries added with shell+ldap has the same atribute order display, but the ones added through the Ocaml binding are displayed in a different order. That mean while displaying all the objects (stricly of the same objectClass), I have a mixed attribute order display. How could I force openLDAP to always display attributes in the same order for one objectClass? Misaotra, Thanks, Merci. -- Architecte Informatique chez Blueline/Gulfsat: Administration Systeme, Recherche & Developpement +261 34 29 155 34 / +261 33 11 207 36

password change hangs: bug?
by Stefano Zanmarchi 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

Hi, I'm running slapd 2.4.9 on Solaris10. I searched with no result: does anyone know if there is a bug on 2.4.9 regarding password changes? I'd like to know if newer releases have bug fixes specifically for this issue This is what happened to me. I have a client performing many password changes, which usually results in my logs like this: ...

Could it possibly be an openldap bug? Thank you very much, Stefano

ppolicy & sambaNTPassword
by Ralf Zimmermann 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

Hi all, I have a problem with overlay ppolicy and samba. My samba backend is openldap-2.4.20. I have a default ppolicy and a pwdCheckModule. If I change the userPassword all works fine. I read the slapo-ppolicy man page and I know that the only pwdAttribute is userPassword. If I change the userPassword with smbpasswd the policy works also fine. But if I want to change the Password with a Windows client the problem begins. The sambaNTPassword is set everytime to the new Password because the ppolicy overlay checks only the userPassword. So the both Passwords are different and there is no control for the sambaNTPassword. Exists any solution or a workaround for this problem. Any help is appreciated.

Problem with nss-ldap using GSSAPI
by Wojtek Polcwiartek 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

Hello, we use ldap as name source in our system (libnss-ldap). Until now we used anonymous bind with LDAP and it worked fine. Now we want to switch to GSSAPI (MIT Krb5), but getting names ('getent passwd <name>') does not work: no result is returned/printed. Strange is that, when we run the query in debug-mode (debug 7 in /etc/ldap.conf), you can see the correct result in the debug part (in "hexes") but at the end no result is printed . The only error message we could see is: res_errno: 14, res_error: <SASL(0): successful result: >, res_matched: <> Querying LDAP with ldapsearch still works fine. Do You have any idea how to get closer to the source of the problem? We use Ubuntu Karmic as client (repo package) and Solaris10 (with OpenLdap 2.4.16) as server.

binding to an alias entry?
by Stefan Palme 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

Hi, I have two ldap entries: dn:cn=me,ou=users,dc=kapott,dc=org objectclass:person cn:me userPassword:... dn:cn=me,ou=imap,ou=groups,dc=kapott,dc=org objectclass:alias objectclass:extensibleObject aliasedObjectName:cn=me,ou=users,dc=kapott,dc=org cn:me I can use the first DN to successfully bind to the LDAP server, but not the second one. It would be nice to be able to use "cn=me,ou=imap,ou=groups,dc=kapott,dc=org" as bind DN too, but without duplicating the whole "person" entry with the userPassword. Is this possible? Thanks and regards -stefan-
