error while loading shared libraries
by jptienshan 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Here is a question from a newbie. I use red hat 5.5. I didn't want to use the openldap that is bundled with and installed by red hat, so I downloaded and installed BerkeleyDB-4.8.30 and openldap-2.4.23. configure, make as a non-root make install as a root user. I specified --prefix=/usr/local in both cases. For openldap, I had to export CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LD_LIBRARY_PATH as follows: export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="-I/usr/local/lib" I created a slapd file and put it in /etc/init.d, chmod and chkconfig successfully. In .bashrc file, I put /usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/lib in the path. I also added this line: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib I was able to run slappasswd and set/create a password for root. But that was the end of my successes :( As a root user, when I type "service slapd start", I get this error: //---- Starting slapd /usr/local/libexec/slapd: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.8.so cannot open shared object file no such file or dir. //----- Is it because my BerkeleyDB installation isn't working properly? (I don't recall any errors while installing BDB though) or something more is amiss? I can see that the file libdb-4.8.so is in /usr/local/lib How do I solve this problem? Thank you all for taking time to read. Cheers, -------------------------------------- Get the new Internet Explorer 8 optimized for Yahoo! JAPAN http://pr.mail.yahoo.co.jp/ie8/

Well, my guest is that I didn't set correctly Slapd because my default root is lab.corp instead of being TLD .corp Is that theory right? Many thanks

OpenLDAP delegates authentication to PAM
by Manuel Rodríguez Hernández 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Hello I want to configure an application that only supports LDAP authentication, the challenge I face is that this application should not use the LDAP database to compare user and password, what I need, is to authenticate against a private solution which use its own auth schema, besides the only way to pass credentials to this private solution is using PAM, that is for example: an http proxy use a PAM helper to authenticate, and the PAM config use a PAM module to pass user/password to the private solution. So due to the restrictions, I'm looking to deploy an OpenLDAP server that redirects auth or executes an external program in order to authenticate against the private solution, and finally returns the response to the application that needs the authentication. So I was looking to the back-perl module to deploy something like that, but I'm not sure it will work. Does anybody know anything to solve this deployment? I will appreciate any clue. Thanks in advance RODRIGUEZ Manuel Tel: +52 (55) 5322-5290 Soporte: +52(55) 5322-5240 Fax: +52 (55) 5322-5252 www.insys-corp.com.mx "Ce message est confidentiel.

joomla ldap; joomla users not created
by mike＠grounded.net 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Joomla 1.5, fully updated. php does have ldap installed and working Openldap 2.3.43-12.el5_5.3 running on fully updated centos server dedicated to this. On the openldap server, I have; Server Local LDAP Server timeout (Schema | search | refresh | info | import | export | logout ) Logged in as: cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=com - img dc=mydomain,dc=com (2) - img cn=admin new Create new entry here - img ou=users (2) + img uid=bob + img uid=bobby new Create new entry here new Create new entry here I have Distinguished Name: ou=users,dc=mydomain,dc=com I followed docs which showed me how to create add and use a joomla.schema. The above is where joomla users are supposed to be being created. What I suspect is that joomla isn't talking to the proper joomla.schema on the ldap server which is preventing the user from being created. But since I'm new to ldap, I've not been able to figure out how to diagnose this and fix the problem. I've been struggling with this for weeks and would very much welcome some help. Thanks.

Substrings in attributes - changing schemas
by Nick Milas 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hi, I store my DNS records in openldap (I use powerdns with ldap backend) and I am trying to use a search filter like: (aRecord=10.11.12.*) but it never produces results. I noticed that aRecord is defined in dnsDomain schema (available in cosine.schema) and inherited in dnsDomain2 schema (which is used by powerdns, available here: http://www.linuxnetworks.de/pdnsldap/dnsdomain2.schema). I came to the conclusion that the problem may be caused by the fact that aRecord (oid: 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.26) in cosine.schema has no substring matching rule defined in schema: attributetype ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.26 NAME 'aRecord' EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 ) I thought of modifying it in order to allow substring matching, like: attributetype ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.26 NAME 'aRecord' EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match SUBSTR caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 ) Questions: 1. Is the above logic correct, i.e. has the cause of the problem been identified correctly? 2. Is there any other way we can search substrings of values in this (or other similar) attribute(s) without modifying the schema(s)? 3. Can an LDAP administrator freely modify an organisation's schema(s) whenever it is deemed appropriate? Are there any risks by doing it? (I understand one should be cautious when upgrading openldap, and take care to "cascade" modifications to the upgraded version.) - AND/OR - Is there any process of "schema evolution" where LDAP server users provide feedback so that standard schema(s) are globally adapted to user request(s)? In the end: What is the easiest recommended way of using customized schema(s) in an organization? Please advise. Thanks in advance, Nick

distribution list in openldap
by Ben Kim 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hi, I'm trying to create a distribution list for outlook 2007, using openldap. Outlook reads ldap contacts quite OK, but I can't make a mailing group. Does anyone know of a good tutorial? I did some googling, but most of the related questions seem unanswered. I looked at http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1317.html MS Outlook: How To Make Distribution Lists. If you have followed the tutorial already, I would need some detailed steps, since I'm not an ldap expert. Thanks. -- Ben Kim Lead Database Administrator College of Education Texas A&M University http://benix.tamu.edu

Help reading db_printlog
by Peter Palmreuther 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hello, I had soem problems with a MirrorMode set up OpenLDAP cluster (version 2.4.20) and after some replication trouble I lost some data. I could restore it by using "db_restore" on the data directory (it's a 'hdb' backend). Now I'm trying to get as much information as possible about when exactly, and as far as possible why, the data got lost / was deleted. Unluckily I don't get far with reading the output of "db_printlog". I found " http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17076_02/html/installation/debug_printl…" but this does not really help in getting the meaning of all the output. Is there any more help / documentation / whatever available to "dissect" the output and get an idea about what happend (and when, if possible)? Thanks in advance, -- Peter

Good afternoon, Tell me how to exclude the user's "search" from thesecurity policies The user is located in the ou =users Ou=policy also located in ou=users The reason that I need to exclude the user, is that when I set the pwdMaxAge and pwdGraceAuthNLimit.

Evolution Contacts Schema
by Peter L. Berghold 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hi folks, I've been running in circles trying to locate something and I've had Epic Fail. Quick background: I've been setting up a new email/calendering system for my family. My wife and I both run our own small businesses and just keeping our schedules in sync is nuts. The "nice to have" my wife asked for was being able to have one central email contacts place to work with. This is where Evolution comes in. Unfortunately Evolution seems to do contacts differently than say Thunderbird and I need a "special schema" to get it to work. I've done a Google looking for the schema files and found lots of dead links and schema files that don't seem to play well. Anyone know of a more reliable source? Thanks in advance... -- Peter L. Berghold <peter(a)berghold.net>
