I’m looking for a parsing tool for the logs generated by the auditlog overlay. Something more contextually aware and multiline then the string of greps I’ve accustomed myself to, but nothing as deep as a full ELK stack. Thanks Chris

LDAP and SELINUX

by Borresen, John - 0444 - MITLL

Does anyone out there in OpenLDAP land have experience with working with OpenLDAP and SELINUX? Running OpenLDAP 2.4.43 on a CentOS 7 VM. SELINUX is squashing client authentication connectivity - with SELINUX in enforcing, and a user fails login (No Such User) - nothing at all in the LDAP logs the only error is in the system auth.log. It acts as if the system authentication process does not pass off to LDAP when the user is not found locally; with SELINUX in Permissive, the user authenticates with the LDAP Server with no problems. If there is anyone who has been down this road it would be very much appreciated. Sincerely, John D. Borresen (Dave) Linux/Unix Systems Administrator MIT Lincoln Laboratory Email: <mailto:john.borresen@ll.mit.edu> john.borresen(a)ll.mit.edu

problem with slapadd in migrating LDAP servers

by k j

Hello to all. My situation is the following. Migrating from an older Suse server : # rpm -qa | grep -i openldap openldap2-2.4.12-7.19.1 openldap2-client-2.4.12-7.19.1 to a New RHEL 6.6 server: # rpm -qa |grep ldap mod_authz_ldap-0.26-16.el6.x86_64 sssd-ldap-1.11.6-30.el6_6.4.x86_64 apr-util-ldap-1.3.9-3.el6_0.1.x86_64 openldap-clients-2.4.39-8.el6.x86_64 openldap-2.4.39-8.el6.x86_64 openldap-servers-2.4.39-8.el6.x86_64 compat-openldap-2.3.43-2.el6.x86_64 My exported information looks to be in order, has 47,000 lines but when I try to import it I run into trouble. ldapadd -x -D "cn=administrator,dc=mydomain,dc=com" -W -f nis.ldif.ldapDump When prompted for a password I am using the password from the old server (Suse) and that fails, thinking that no password has been setup on the new server I tried an empty password and that also failed. Next I tried setting a new password 'ldappasswd Testing123' but that gave a SASL failure GSSAPI error :( additional info: SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (Ticket expired) Am I going down the wrong road or what? Thanks for any help,KJ

Fwd: openldap.org mailing list memberships reminder

by Phill Edwards

I received this today and was shocked to see my password in the email. In this day and age a technology group like this should know far better than to do that. It's bad enough you keep unencrypted passwords, but then to send them our in an email is reckless and irresponsible.

Hello, I am setting up Openldap on scientific linux version 6.7. Is it better to use the install packages e.g. yum install openldap-servers openldap-clients or to download the openldap source, and compile on my system? Thank you.

We have a policy here of sticking with the redhat supported releases of packages since our staff is so small. I really need to resolve this for an important project here. Of course the project is behind schedule and I am left with little time to get my stuff working. I was hoping my syntax was just incorrect. The only other way I can image fixing this is to revert to slapd.conf .... I guess the good news is that my steps and syntax look okay to you. If you have any other thoughts I would happily accept them.

Re: [OpenLDAP][Authentication] SASL

by Timothy Keith

My scenario is relatively simple. The user authentication and LDAP directory for our local application is managed on corporate servers for which we lack administrative rights. We wish to maintain a local view of the LDAP directory for the information that our local application requires, but not alter the user authentication on the corporate servers.
