ppolicy and simpleSecurityObject exemptions
by Nick Urbanik 09 Apr '11

09 Apr '11

Dear Folks, What is the best/right way to exempt system users (entries that have the simpleSecurityObject objectclass) from the ppolicy default policy? Is it to create another policy without restrictions and specify that each system user should use that policy using pwdPolicySubentry? -- Nick Urbanik http://nicku.org 808-71011 nick.urbanik(a)optusnet.com.au GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24 I disclaim, therefore I am.

search ldap
by Noel Akins 09 Apr '11

09 Apr '11

I have a dumb question. I've been struggling with LDAP for a couple of weeks now, working on it at home at night. I seem to have something working here given the ldapsearch i tried doing below. I had started with a base.ldif and added a user via a add_user.ldif. I assume the numEntries: 1 is the user that I entered. But for the life of me, I can't seem to figure out how to view that entry. What do I need to do actually see the entry? Thank you. ldapsearch -L -x -b 'dc=mergeemerge,dc=… [View More]

Strange log entries
by Peter Schütt 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Hallo, I got the following log entries in /var/log/messages Apr 5 13:19:51 myhost slaptest: auxpropfunc error invalid parameter supplied Apr 5 13:19:51 myhost slapd[18435]: auxpropfunc error invalid parameter supplied This is funny because I redirect the logs of OpenLDAP in an own file by an entry in /etc/rsyslog.conf: # OpenLDAP local4.* /var/log/ldap.log What does these log entries mean?

Speeding up BDB question
by Cannady, Mike 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

I have a situation where I need to delete a major branch of my DIT and reload it with a new ldif file on live systems. My current configuration is a two node multi-master running on Red Hat Enterprise 5.4 with openldap 2.22 and BDB 4.8.26. With both masters running, when I delete the branch it takes about 1.5 hours and the reload (ldapadd) takes about 6-7 hours. I've researched the documentation on Berkeley but didn't make any headway to reduce the time. It appeared to me that BDB was doing … [View More]syncs (lots and lots of disk writes). To test this, I moved the database directory of both masters to a ram drive (mount ramfs) that could hold the whole database directory with room to spare and changed the configuration to use the new location. I reran the tests and the results were that the delete took 6 minutes and the load took about 13 minutes. This is definitely a lot faster and the other master kept up with the updating master. So my question is there anyway to configure Berkeley to come close to this? Is there someway to disable the syncs?

Tuning openldap, nss_ldap and pam_ldap

Hello openldap users! I've got Openldap 2.4.23 that used as authentication and authorization server for about 40-50 servers. OS - FreeBSD 8.1.
