Monitoring OpenLDAP Performance
by rahul.manchanda＠bt.com
Good Morning All,
I need to capture the following stats for a serving LDAP.
total_connections
bytes_sent
completed_operations
initiated_operations
referrals_sent
entries_sent
bind_operations
unbind_operations
add_operations
delete_operations
modify_operations
compare_operations
search_operations
write_waiters
read_waiters
I have switched on the monitor mode on LDAP but not sure how can I get
these statistics from that.
Is there a way that I can capture these stats?
Many Thanks in advance!!
Regards
Rahul Manchanda

OpenLDAP and SSH authentification
by Michel Dubois
Hello Everyone,
I'm newbie on OpenLDAP. I build a LDAP server with one user. I can see this
user when I did a "getent passwd" on my client. This is meaning that my
LDAP server is working and my client is connecting on the LDAP server.
I already modify my */etc/pam.d/sshd file on t my client machine like this
: *
*
# auth
auth required pam_nologin.so no_warn
auth sufficient pam_opie.so no_warn no_fake_prompts
auth requisite pam_opieaccess.so no_warn allow_local
auth sufficient /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so no_warn
auth required pam_unix.so no_warn try_first_pass
# account
account required pam_login_access.so
account required pam_unix.so
# session
session required pam_permit.so
# password
password required pam_unix.so no_warn try_first_pass
*
But I can't be connected in shh mode on my client machine with the user
login ? And this modification disable my ssh root connection.
What do I have to check?
Regards,

Putting loglevel to -1 (everything) and logging in with ApacheDS as cn=admin,dc=domain,dc=com (which is supposed to supersede any ACL rules and have read/write to everything I believe) I find a whole lot of "access granted" lines and then towards the end":
=> access_allowed: search access to "cn=config" "entry" requested
=> slap_access_allowed: backend default search access denied to "cn=admin,dc=domain,dc=com"
=> access_allowed: no more rules
send_ldap_result: conn=0 op=8 p=3
send_ldap_result: err=32 matched="" text=""
Error 32 means object doesn't exist (I think). Which would be true, our LDAP tree has no cn=config. We get the same error on the primary server, so I suppose it is ApacheDS trying to look for what would be in the Apache LDAP implementation. But that's the only error I can find, everything else is miles and miles of "search access granted".
I tried to get it to list DN="dc=domain,dc=com" by hand from ApacheDS, and it would not return anything (it says "No base DN returned from server.") although in the logs it shows:
conn=6 op=3 SRCH base="dc=domain,dc=com" scope=0 deref=3 filter="(objectClass=*)"
conn=6 op=3 SRCH attr=hasSubordinates objectClass
=> hdb_search
bdb_dn2entry("dc=domain,dc=com")
=> access_allowed: search access to "dc=domain,dc=com" "entry" requested
<= root access granted
access_allowed: search access granted by manage(=mwrscxd)
base_candidates: base: "dc=domains,dc=com" (0x00000001)
send_ldap_result: conn=6 op=3 p=3
send_ldap_result: err=0 matched="" text=""
send_ldap_response: msgid=4 tag=101 err=0
But when I run the ldapsearch command (as any user) from other computers on the network it returns the DN's information... So I am thoroughly confused... I am pretty sure it is not logging in as anonymous, but I have no idea why only the ldapsearch command is the only thing that can authenticate and retrieve information. It is the same version of openldap as the primary server, it has the same exact config, it has all the same schema loaded, it has the exact full ldap tree. I'm going to explode!@$#@

Outlook and Thunderbird Browsing Openldap
by Kalpin Erlangga Silaen
Hello all,
I have install openldap on CentOS 5.4 (via yum). I want use this openldap
for shared address book. I tested on thunderbird and outlook 2007 with
results below:
on thunderbird:
1. Compose new email, while I type some letter in field To: ; thunderbird
can lookup into openldap content
2. In Addressbook menu, I can lookup the content after put some letter in
search field and click search
3. in addressbook menu, while I click openldap addressbook, thunderbird can
not browse or display all contents (my openldap content only 3 address book
for test)
basicly I do not have problem with thunderbird integration openldap
on outlook 2007
1. Compose new email, while I type some letter in field To: ; outlook can
not lookup into openldap content
2. In Addressbook menu, I can lookup the content after put some letter in
search filend and click search.
3. In address book menu, while I click Openldap addressbook, outlook 2007
can not browse or display all contents (my openldap content only 3 address
book for test).
Is it possible to make outlook 2007 for below missions:
1. While compose new email, if I type some letter in field To: ; outlook
2007 supposed to lookup to openldap
2. In addressbook menu, if I click Openldap addressbook, suppose outlook
2007 display all content (limited in configuration)
Any idea?
Thank you

Implementing LDAP logging
by rahul.manchanda＠bt.com
Hi All,
Even on specifying the loglevel and logfile directives in the slapd.conf
ldap related logs are not being written to the file.
However separate auditlog file is getting created successfully and all
the update/delete/modify/insert operations are getting recorded
successfully over there.
I need to get the ldap related log file created as well but that is
something not happening. Also tried specifying the LOCAL4 feature in the
syslog.conf and restarted the system logging service but no luck with
that as well.
I don't want to put the logging options in the ldap start up command
line argument but want the log file created from configuration itself.
Can someone please suggest on this and also is there a way to implement
log rotation for the ldap log file through configuration itself then
that will be really helpful.
Many Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rahul Manchanda

how to constructure ldap entry when user status is changed

I have some user information ( with certificate ) ,like
cn = bob, dc= one, dc = two ,dc = org
sn: ..
userCertificate;binary::...

someday , if he would be revoked, should i move it to another entry (
replace a new dn ), like
cn = bob, dc = crl ,dc = two ,dc = org
or maybe I use the same entry , like
cn = bob, dc= one, dc = two ,dc = org
sn: ..
userCertificate;binary::...

revoked : true/false

Using Replication Slave For Authentication
by Ariel
I have inherited an openldap server (2.4.9) and have set about to making it a bit more fault tolerant. So I have added a syncrepl slave and everything seems to work fine. It pulls down the whole ldap tree and stays in sync in real time with type=refreshAndPersist. I can use command line tools to very that it has all the information from the original master server using a command like this:
ldapsearch -xLL -H ldaps://ldap2.domain.com/ -b "dc=domain,dc=com" -D "cn=admin,dc=domain,dc=com" -W
My problem however is that when I try to authenticate users against the slave server, it does not work. All attempts fail. Also when I use ApacheDS (graphical LDAP browser) to view its contents, it only shows the Root DSE and none of the child objects like cn=config or any of the users or any of that. I can use ApacheDS fine to view and modify everything on the master server though.
The slapd.conf config files between the two are exactly the same (except one is declared as sync master and one as slave), the password hashes are successfully replicated to the slave as I can see with ldapsearch, but I have no idea how to debug why it won't authenticate users. For reference, here is my syncrepl config section (in slapd.conf) on the slave:
syncrepl rid=123
provider=ldaps://ldap1.domain.com:636
type=refreshAndPersist
searchbase="dc=domain,dc=com"
filter="(objectClass=*)"
scope=sub
schemachecking=off
bindmethod=simple
binddn="uid=syncuser,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com"
credentials=syncpassword
and on the master server:
moduleload syncprov.la
overlay syncprov
syncprov-checkpoint 100 10
syncprov-sessionlog 100
As a failover/backup server seems extremely prudent especially on the ancient hardware we have running these things, I really want to get this to work properly. Perhaps even later doing a round-robin style load balancing between the two or what have you.
I have no idea how to debug this, any help would be greatly appreciated!

openLDAP architecture - centralized repository and authentication
by Marot Laurent
Hi all,
I'm far from being openLDAP and more generally Linux advanced user but I'd love to be if I could find some architecture guidance for the following use case. (I've only been playing from time to time with openLDAP on Windows boxes - shame on me :))
I'm currently using 30 Linux server in my business unit. Almost 10 different sysadmin have to administer those servers. I'd like to have a centralized directory gartering all those 30 x 10 accounts so that I could have one single place du manage my identities. All my servers could then authenticate agains this directory.
Could openLDAP and some adding tools provide me the right architecture to reach this goal ? Any pointer on this issue will please me ( Google only lead me to basical information about configuring openLDAP on standalone linux boxes)
Thanks a lot
