set syntax possible in search filter?
by Stephan Fabel 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

Hi, reading this: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1133.html - do I read this correctly that the set syntax can also be employed in search filters? The reason I ask is because Mark is listing LDAP URIs and this sentence: "The LDAP search corresponding to the URI's DN, attributes, scope and filter is performed, and all the matching entries are dereferenced." I'm unsure because the Admin Guide for 2.4 only mentions sets in the context of ACLs, and slapd.access(5) states that it's "undocumented". Thanks for any clarification, Stephan

Kerberos issue running OpenLDAP on Mac OS X Mavericks
by Denis Ahearn 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

We have a Rails app that uses OpenLDAP in the local development environment on Mac OS X to authenticate and authorize users (we use Active Directory in production and staging). Up until now all development has been done on Macs running Mountain Lion, and OpenLDAP has worked fine. Recently a new developer joined our team who is using a Mac running Mavericks, however OpenLDAP is behaving differently on his Mac. On Mavericks, OpenLDAP is trying to do something with Kerberos, which is failing. We see the following in the slapd.log on Mavericks: 5319fc2c >>> dnPrettyNormal: <cn=jdoe,ou=people,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com> 5319fc2c <<< dnPrettyNormal: <cn=jdoe,ou=people,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com>, <cn=jdoe,ou=people,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com> 5319fc2c do_bind: version=3 dn="cn=jdoe,ou=people,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com" method=128 5319fc2c bdb_dn2entry("cn=jdoe,ou=people,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com") 5319fc2c => bdb_search 5319fc2c bdb_dn2entry("cn=kerberoskdc,cn=config,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com") 5319fc2c => bdb_dn2id("cn=config,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com") 5319fc2c <= bdb_dn2id: get failed: DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found (-30988) 5319fc2c entry_decode: "dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com" 5319fc2c <= entry_decode(dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com) 5319fc2c send_ldap_result: conn=-1 op=0 p=0 5319fc2c Entry *odusers_copy_entry(Operation *): Unable to locate cn=kerberoskdc,cn=config,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com (32) 5319fc2c odusers_copy_krbrealm: No entry associated with KerberosKDC cn=kerberoskdc,cn=config,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com 5319fc2c odusers_krb_auth: could not retrieve krb realm while authing jdoe 5319fc2c int odusers_increment_failedlogin(struct berval *): Unable to retrieve description of loginFailedAttempts attribute5319fc2c bdb_bind: Error to increment failed login count for cn=jdoe,ou=people,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com5319fc2c send_ldap_result: conn=1003 op=0 p=3 Here's the same section of slapd.log from a Mac running Mountain Lion, which is working correctly: 531e25c9 >>> dnPrettyNormal: <cn=cjdoe,ou=people,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com> 531e25c9 <<< dnPrettyNormal: <cn=cjdoe,ou=people,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com>, <cn=cjdoe,ou=people,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com> 531e25c9 do_bind: version=3 dn="cn=cjdoe,ou=people,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com" method=128 531e25c9 bdb_dn2entry("cn=cjdoe,ou=people,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com") 531e25c9 do_bind: v3 bind: "cn=cjdoe,ou=people,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com" to "cn=cjdoe,ou=people,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com" 531e25c9 send_ldap_result: conn=1003 op=0 p=3 531e25c9 send_ldap_response: msgid=1 tag=97 err=0 ber_flush2: 14 bytes to sd 14 ldap_write: want=14, written=14 0000: 30 0c 02 01 01 61 07 0a 01 00 04 00 04 00 0....a........ 531e25c9 connection_get(14): got connid=1003 531e25c9 connection_read(14): checking for input on id=1003 ber_get_next ldap_read: want=8, got=0 We've spent a copule of days looking into this, and can't find any noticeable differences in the ldap.conf and slapd.conf files between Mavericks and Mountain Lion that would explain why Mavericks is doing a search on "cn=kerberoskdc,cn=config,dc=bluewaterbrand,dc=com". Does anyone know why OpenLDAP on Mavericks is behaving the way that it is, and more importantly, what would be the correct way to resolve this issue? Our Rails app is using the devise and devise_ldap_authenticatable gems to handle user authentication, so it would seem that we don't want OpenLDAP to do anything with Kerberos at all. Can this be controlled via configuration, or is this an issue with how the OpenLDAP shipped with Mavericks was built? Thanks, Denis

All, Can the olcTLSCACertificateFile and olcTLSCertificateFile be the same file? Finding some "interesting" examples online (even on some openssl.org pages) and would like clarification.

LMDB test assertion failures on Linux/MIPS
by Martin Lucina 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hi, I've recently started using LMDB in a new project targeted to MIPS (and later also ARM) architectures. While developing my storage code I found that test cases which execute perfectly on x86 were failing with assertions inside LMDB on mips and mipsel devices. Investigating further, I've found that the "mtest" test program included with LMDB also fails. Specifically, the failures I'm seeing are any of the following: mdb.c:2635: Assertion 'pglast <= env->me_pglast' failed in mdb_freelist_save() or mdb.c:5100: Assertion 'IS_BRANCH(mc->mc_pg[mc->mc_top])' failed in mdb_cursor_sibling() or mdb.c:5176: Assertion 'IS_LEAF(mp)' failed in mdb_cursor_next() or mdb.c:1713: Assertion 'rc == 0' failed in mdb_page_dirty() etc. The failures are intermittent in that there's about a 50% chance mtest will complete successfully. The line numbers are against LMDB 0.9.11 source. Target devices and toolchain combinations I have tried (all fail): - mips-sf-linux-musl cross compilers from musl.codu.org, musl libc 0.9.15. Atheros AR9344 cpu, OpenWRT trunk (Linux 3.10.28). - mipsel-sf-linux-musl cross compilers from musl.codu.org, musl libc 0.9.15, Broadcom BCM4706, Tomato firmware by "shibby" (Linux 2.6.22.x based on ASUS SDK). In all cases the code fails both with and without optimization, and is compiled as a static executable. Consulting with a friend who is also developing on MIPS devices he said he ran into similar problems when trying LMDB. He suggested that I check for problems with unaligned memory accesses; indeed compiling LMDB with -Wcast-align produces many warnings regarding such accesses. My knowledge of LMDB and MIPS internals is not up to debugging this but it seems like unaligned accesses may(?) be the underlying cause. What is the status of LMDB on MIPS? Has anyone tried it? Any help would be much appreciated. Martin

open(ldap|ssh) interaction
by Doug OLeary 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hey; When using local accounts, ssh honors password expiration even if using public key authentication. This is the case at least on HPUX, Solaris, and various flavors of Linux. This is a good thing. I won't go through all the security reasons why passwords should periodically change. Suffice to say that they should and most companies have policies regarding password expiration. When using openldap, however, if a user is configured to use public key authentication, he is allowed access to the account regardless of the password aging and/or pwdReset parameter. Is there a way to force openssh to honor these settings like it does for local accounts? Test environment is centos6.5 running on a kvm tying into an openldap server ver 2.4.23. My test environment is certainly following the symptoms of my client's unboundid server supporting a variety of linux platforms - all rhel based - from ver 4 through 6. Any help greatly appreciated.

LMDB and FD_CLOEXEC
by Martin Lucina 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hi, is there any particular reason for MDB setting FD_CLOEXEC *only* on me->lfd? I can't see why it should not set it for the other fds it opens, as IMO it doesn't make sense to hang onto the fds after exec() -- the mmap will be gone in any case. Martin
