How to enable memberOf overlay with posixGroup?
by MegaBrutal
Hi all,
I've spent days trying to figure out how could I enable the memberOf
overlay, and it doesn't seem to be easy for an LDAP-noob. I've read
like 50+ tutorials which didn't help me get it working.
Use case: I want to have 2 main groups which control access to
different services on my network. A "unixusers" which is a minimum to
log in to Linux servers (having a hostObject entry for the user is
another requirement, which is irrelevant to this question, as I
already solved that problem); and a "cloudusers" group which enables
log in to my ownCloud instance.
The groups should enforce the following rules:
– Only users in "cloudusers" should be allowed to log in to ownCloud.
– Users in "unixusers" are allowed to log in to a set of Linux servers
controlled by "host" (hostObject) entries.
– Users not in the "unixusers" group may not log in to any Linux
systems, even if they have "host" entries.
Problems:
– ownCloud complains that the memberOf overlay is not enabled, hence
it doesn't let me restrict access to the "cloudusers" group. It would
allow any users regardless of any group memberships, which is not
acceptable.
– I have a similar problem on Linux with PAM: I can't really get it to
consider "unixusers" membership for user logins, although I got the
"host" entries working correctly, so at least I can already restrict
access with that.
My guess is that it all boils down to the lack of memberOf overlay. I
also figured that memberOf would need groupOfNames groups, while I
need posixGroup type groups. I evaluated the possibility to use
groupOfNames, but it lacks the necessary gidNumber attribute which is
a requirement for Unix groups. But anyway, I can't enable memberOf
even for groupOfNames. I can't enable memberOf by any means.
My OpenLDAP uses the new configuration method and it completely
ignores slapd.conf, so the config must be injected with ldapadd to
cn=config.
Could you please help me with this?

[Q] "selective" ACL
by Zeus Panchenko
hi,
I'm trying to configure a not complex (as I believe) ACL ... but have some
difficulties
I have two posixGroup groups
cn=admins,ou=group,dc=foo
cn=coadmins,ou=group,dc=foo
my users resides in ou=People,dc=foo
so, in subtree ou=People,dc=foo I need to allow anything to admins (and
it is not difficult of course)
for example this works for me:
access to dn.subtree="ou=People,dc=foo"
by set="[cn=admin,ou=group,dc=foo]/memberUid & user/uid" manage
by self write
by users read
by * break
but in addition I need to allow my coadmins to do the same things except
manipulations upon the objects which belong to admins (
...anyobject,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo )
so, the question is: how? (if it is possible at all) :(
please, advise

Might be best to make an LDAP group with those users as members, and then
write an ACL based off of that group for its specific privileges.

Your slapd.conf has no rootdn configured. You need to configure it if you
want ppolicy to function correctly.

Ok good to know! The issue I created occurred when deleting the group, which I believe is the original complaint in the ITS as well. So I will add individual membership deletes as a part of that test too.

Well, it seems to be some sort of race condition. I've only had it occur
one time out of some 700+ attempts. I don't think it is really related to
4-way MMR at all, but it may be the larger the number of consumers of the
accesslog, the more likely it is to occur (so you'll see it more often in
4-way MMR).
I did want to confirm that you see this on servers that are long running
(I.e., they've been running for a long time, and had other group deletes
that went through w/o issue during that time). If so, then I can modify
the test to randomly add and delete groups as a part of the test,
increasing the likelyhood of triggering the issue within the test.
Thanks,
Quanah

I'm able to reproduce the problem with my test script, so I think things
are set from here.

I'm going to see if I can create a test that reproduces the issue. I've
been working on expanding the test suite so we can ensure we avoid
regressions etc.

Doesn't ring a bell, and unfortunately it looks like your binaries are
stripped, so the backtrace doesn't contain useful information. :(

Other than the fact that 2.3.30 is ancient and unsupported... You should be
able to do this, yes. You could use a scripting module such as Net::LDAP
in Perl. If it is possible to do a substring query on the attribute in
question, you could use a filter of "(attr=*oldserver*)" to get a set of
entries back, and then iterate over them and do the update in the script.
