A cannot assist you with phpldapadmin or usermin. If you would like users to change their own passwords with the ldappasswd utility, then ldapwhoami is an acid test. Users must be able to authenticate to your ldap server before they can change their passwords for themselves. This is unrelated to how you, or your users, authenticate to the operating system. When password changes worked, what command (include command line parameters) did your users use? >On Thu, Aug 16, 2012 at 2:30 PM, Dan White <dwhite(a)olp.net> wrote: > >> On 08/16/12 14:06 -0700, Jeffrey Parker wrote: >> >>> I cannot seem to find anything helpful about this issue.

slapd-meta doesn't continue with multiple uri's
by Liam Gretton 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

I've been trying to get slapd-meta to failover using multiple URIs but can't get it to work. Initially I was using 2.4.26, but having seen the report in ITS#7050 I've now built 2.4.32 but the problem is still there as far as I can tell. This bug was quashed in 2.4.29 according to the change log. In the example below, if host1 is not contactable at the point a search is performed, host2 will be contacted and the result returned correctly but ldapsearch then hangs indefinitely and the server's debug (level 1) output spews the following messages endlessly: ldap_sasl_bind ldap_send_initial_request ldap_int_poll: fd: 10 tm: 0 502a4634 conn=1001 op=1 <<< meta_search_dobind_init[0]=4 502a4634 conn=1001 op=1 >>> meta_search_dobind_init[0] Here's the relevant portion of slapd.conf: database meta suffix dc=local rootdn cn=administrator,dc=local rootpw secret network-timeout 3 uri ldap://host1:3268/ou=dc1,dc=local uri ldap://host2:3268/ou=dc1,dc=local uri ldap://host3:3268/ou=dc1,dc=local suffixmassage "ou=dc1,dc=local" "dc=example,dc=com" idassert-bind bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=proxyuser,dc=example,dc=com" credentials="password" idassert-authzfrom "dn.exact:cn=administrator,dc=local" Am I doing something wrong or has the bug described in ITS#7050 crept back in? -- Liam Gretton liam.gretton(a)le.ac.uk HPC Architect http://www.le.ac.uk/its IT Services Tel: +44 (0)116 2522254 University of Leicester, University Road Leicestershire LE1 7RH, United Kingdom

Status of rfc2307bis?
by Pierre Girard 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Hello, When I look at the list of included schema with openldap (http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/schema.html#Distributed Schema Files) rfc2307bis isn't listed. What is the status of that schema, is it obsolete? If I understand correctly, it expired in 2009. Is that correct? What we want to do is setup an LDAP server only to put automount information, what would be the proper way of doing that, use the nis.schema? Any recommendation? Thanks for your help.

syncrepl and glued databases
by Uwe Werler 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hello List, is it OK to glue a database via replication from different suffixes together? What I tried: syncrepl rid=010 provider=ldap://master01 searchbase="dc=example,dc=com" keepalive=300:5:5 retry="10 10 300 10 600 +" binddn="cn=syncuser,dc=example,dc=com" bindmethod=simple schemachecking=off credentials=secret scope=sub attrs="*,+" type=refreshAndPersist syncrepl rid=020 provider=ldap://master02 searchbase="ou=glue1" keepalive=300:5:5 retry="10 10 300 10 600 +" binddn="cn=syncuser,dc=example,dc=com" bindmethod=simple schemachecking=off credentials=secret scope=sub type=refreshAndPersist attrs="*,+" suffixmassage="ou=glue2,dc=example,dc=com" syncrepl rid=030 provider=ldap://master03 searchbase="ou=glue2" keepalive=300:5:5 retry="10 10 300 10 600 +" binddn="cn=syncuser,dc=example,dc=com" bindmethod=simple schemachecking=off credentials=secret scope=sub type=refreshAndPersist attrs="*,+" suffixmassage="ou=glue2,dc=example,dc=com" This seems to work. Is this OK? Or should I use the traditional way with subordinate and glued databases? Background: this replica should be the sync master for a bunch of other hosts. Thanks for any hint. Regards Uwe

ldappasswd gives error ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: No such attribute (16)
by Jeffrey Parker 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

I cannot seem to find anything helpful about this issue. I had it working before when I first setup OpenLDAP and I have not changed any settings since then. The only thing I can seem to find is suggestion saying to use -x when running ldappasswd. When I use -x I get the error below Result: Strong(er) authentication required (8) Additional info: only authenticated users may change passwords I am running OpenLDAP, I am not sure what version but it is somewhat new. It is running on Turnkey Linux (ubuntu 10.04 based) and is in a virtual machine.

Lazy ACLs and keeping your DIT as flat as possible
by Gavin Henry 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi All, I'm pretty sure that this isn't possible, but wanted to check as my head hurts now. I have dynamic lists using slapo-dynlist with the Organization attribute of 'o' and I am trying to keep my DIT as flat as possible. I want to create an ACL that is "by group", which is fine. But....I don't want to hardcode a group. I want to "capture" o via a regex and use that in the "by group" like so: access to dn.subtree="ou=Users,dc=suretec,dc=co,dc=uk" attrs=o val.regex="(.+)" attrs=children,entry by group.expand="cn=$1,ou=Groups,dc=suretec,dc=co,dc=uk" read by self write or something like the following using a previous capture: access to filter=(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(o=$1)) by group/groupOfURLs/memberURL.expand="cn=$1,ou=Groups,dc=suretec,dc=co,dc=uk" read by self write by * none Issue is you can't pass captures between "access by" statements and my ACLs are flawed based on what you're searching for, which would be perfect. The goal being users in the same group can only see users on ou=Users of that group, with out hard coding group name in the conf. I guess I'll have to create branches to split up users. Then again, I'm adding a group to ou=Groups, why shouldn't I at the same time add a new ACL via cn=config? Cheers. -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. Managing Director.

pass-through authentication and base64
by sergio 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hello. Is it possible to ask openldap not to encode magic tokens for pass-through authentication? Now ldapsearch shows: userPassword:: e1NBU0x9dXNlcm5hbWVAcmVhbG0K== but I'd like to see: userPassword:: {SASL}username@realm instead. -- sergio.
