Virtual list view problem
by Venish Khant 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

Hi all I am using cpan Net::LDAP module to access LDAP entries. I want to search LDAP entries using Net::LDAP search method. When I do search, I want some limited number of entries from search result, for this(searching) process I am using Net::LDAP::Control::VLV module. But I get error on VLV response control. Please, any one have idea about this error. * Error:* Died at vlv.pl line 50, This is my example. I changed the font style of line 50 #!/usr/bin/perl -w use Net::LDAP; use Net::LDAP::Control::VLV; use Net::LDAP::Constant qw( LDAP_CONTROL_VLVRESPONSE ); use Net::LDAP::Control::Sort; sub procentry { my ( $mesg, $entry) = @_; # Return if there is no entry to process if ( !defined($entry) ) { return; } print "dn: " . $entry->dn() . "\n"; @attrs = $entry->attributes(); foreach $attr (@attrs) { #printf("\t%s: %s\n", $attr, $entry->get_value($attr)); $attrvalue = $entry->get_value($attr,asref=>1); #print $attr.":". $entry->get_value($attr)."\n"; foreach $value(@$attrvalue) { print "$attr: $value\n"; } } $mesg->pop_entry; print "\n"; } $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "localhost" ); # Get the first 20 entries $vlv = Net::LDAP::Control::VLV->new( before => 0, # No entries from before target entry after => 19, # 19 entries after target entry content => 0, # List size unknown offset => 1, # Target entry is the first ); my $sort = Net::LDAP::Control::Sort->new( order => 'cn' ); @args = ( base => "dc=example,dc=co,dc=in", scope => "subtree", filter => "(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)", callback => \&procentry, # Call this sub for each entry control => [ $sort, $vlv ], ); $mesg = $ldap->search( @args ); # Get VLV response control *($resp) = $mesg->control( LDAP_CONTROL_VLVRESPONSE ) or die;* $vlv->response( $resp ); # Set the control to get the last 20 entries $vlv->end; $mesg = $ldap->search( @args ); # Get VLV response control ($resp) = $mesg->control( LDAP_CONTROL_VLVRESPONSE ) or die; $vlv->response( $resp ); # Now get the previous page $vlv->scroll_page( -1 ); $mesg = $ldap->search( @args ); # Get VLV response control ($resp) = $mes # Now page with first entry starting with "B" in the middle $vlv->before(9); # Change page to show 9 before $vlv->after(10); # Change page to show 10 after $vlv->assert("B"); # assert "B" $mesg = $ldap->search( @args );g->control( LDAP_CONTROL_VLVRESPONSE ) or die; $vlv->response( $resp ); -- Venish Khant www.deeproot.co.in

Maybe you need this: http://memberwebs.com/stef/software/slapi-dnsnotify/ A more generic solution would be nice, but as far as I can tell, this software satisfies your current need. Regards, Buchan

Suitability of LDAP as DNS backend - PowerDNS LDAP backend moving to unmaintained status
by Nick Milas 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hi, We've been using for several months PowerDNS Authoritative Server v9.22 with LDAP backend (simple mode), using OpenLDAP (v2.4.22) for hosting our organization's domains (and reverse zones) and it has been working fine (low query times, reliable etc.) so we enjoy having all our organization's data stored/maintained in the same DIT in LDAP. However, as PowerDNS Authoritative Server is preparing for the next version (3.0), it seems that the LDAP backend will be unmaintained (see: http://mailman.powerdns.com/pipermail/pdns-users/2011-March/007547.html) as the LDAP backend developer is no more working on it (see: http://www.mail-archive.com/pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com/msg03625.html). It has been alleged (see ref. above) that "We don't think that LDAP is a particularly good or interesting place to store DNS data. It will for example have big problems with PowerDNSSEC because of lack of ordering." Moreover, PowerDNS LDAP backend (although current open bugs are very few and of relatively low severity) lacks features (e.g. Notify, which we implement using custom script, cron and notify-dns-slaves, see: http://mailman.powerdns.com/pipermail/pdns-users/2010-October/007109.html) and is not being evolved any more. Additionally, LDAP/database backend projects for BIND9 (SDB and DLZ) do not seem very well maintained either. In any case we prefer PowerDNS approach where backend implementation is cleaner and direct. So, my questions: * From the above and your experience, do you consider LDAP should not be preferred as DNS backend? * Should LDAP be avoided as a DNS/DNSSEC backend? * Would any companies / developer(s) from the OpenLDAP world - perhaps already using or interested in using DNS with LDAP backend - would be willing to devote some time to fix a couple of small bugs and keep the very well-designed and developed PowerDNS LDAP backend in shape? We could even start some community donation effort (to support this development), but I don't know if there is sufficient usage/interest in the LDAP backend that would generate enough funds. In essence, should we drop LDAP as a DNS Record datastore, due to the lack of a properly maintained backend and/or unsuitability for (e.g. DNSSEC) evolution, or you think there IS interest for the maintenance / evolution of the LDAP backend by the OpenLDAP developers/community (even by becoming more openldap-oriented rather than being cross-platform)? Best Regards, Nick

Then I write function verificaSenha(){ whoAmI=`whoami` param=`echo "ldapsearch -x -W -D \"uid=$whoAmI,ou=People,dc=ifce,dc=edu,dc=br\" -b \"dc=ifce,dc=edu,dc=br\" \"(uid=$whoAmI)\""` exec `echo "$param"` } the line param=... produces a command line that when I write directly in the term it works, however in the line exec "$param" I am solicitated my LDAP pass (like in directly term) but when I type I get ldapsearch -x -W -D "uid=inacio,ou=People,dc=ifce,dc=edu,dc=br" -b "dc=ifce,dc=edu,dc=br" "(uid=inacio)" Enter LDAP Password: ldap_bind: Invalid DN syntax (34) additional info: invalid DN what is wrong?

[OpenLDAP 2.4.23-7 ] Trouble using rwm to delete ObjectClass & attribute
by Cédric COPY 02 May '11

02 May '11

Hi there, I have some trouble using rwm overlay. In fact, i am not sure it fits my need, but the documentation isn't explicit about that point. I am trying to make some replication from a master OpenLDAP server to some other server in my DMZ, through a proxy. The proxy retrieve what i need from the master, then push it to DMZ server. There is some attribute on my master server that I don't want on the DMZ server, for instance sambaGroupMapping & sambaSamAccount. The idea was using rwm to delete those objectClass, and attribute. But it doesn't work, i can change objectClass name, but i can't delete them, and i can delete attribute, not rename them (doesn't matter in my case). Here is my configuration, i tried something with the relay backend, but it doesn't matter, focus on rwm configuration. ######################################################## include /etc/ldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/nis.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/samba.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/authldap.schema pidfile /var/run/slapd/slapd.pid argsfile /var/run/slapd/slapd.args loglevel -1 modulepath /usr/lib/ldap moduleload back_ldap moduleload back_relay moduleload syncprov moduleload rwm database ldap suffix "ou=proxy,o=ca,c=net" uri ldap://ldap-dmz acl-bind bindmethod=simple idassert-bind bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=admin,ou=real,o=ca,c=net" credentials="secret" database relay suffix "ou=real,o=ca,c=net" relay "ou=proxy,o=ca,c=net" rootdn "cn=admin,ou=real,o=ca,c=net" lastmod on restrict all overlay rwm rwm-rewriteEngine on #Don't work rwm-map objectclass sambaGroupMapping #Work rwm-map objectclass sambaSamAccount sa #Don't work rwm-map objectclass * syncrepl rid=001 provider=ldap://ldap attrs="@inetOrgPerson,@posixAccount,@shadowAccount,@organizationalPerson,@person" bindmethod=simple searchbase="ou=people,ou=real,o=ca,c=net" type=refreshAndPersist retry="60 +" interval=00:00:01:00 schemachecking=off overlay syncprov ######################################################## Documentation about rwm overlay does not indicate that objectClass can't be renamed. I also tried to filter those attribute thanks to exattrs / attrs of my syncrepl overlay, but don't work either, it doesn't delete the objectClass (seen with wireshark). Maybe it's not the right way to delete those things. If you have any idea about how to do it. Thanks you for help. Regards, Cédric.

Replicating a translucent proxy
by Jonathan Hanks 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

Is it possible to replicate a translucent proxy? In our project we have a central LDAP repository that is populated with generic information about our collaboration and its users. This is replicated out to various sites in a master -> slave setup via syncrepl. At the sites we may need site local information. We have been addressing this via a translucent overlay. However it would be nice to have some redundancy on the translucent overlay. What is the best way to approach this? My ldap servers (including the translucent proxy) are on CentOS 5 running OpenLDAP 2.4.18 (built from source). The master is running on a Debian system on 2.4.x. -- Jonathan Hanks General Computing Sys Admin LIGO Hanford Observatory
