The "ldaps" designation was developed to allow for SSL encrypted connections as a part of LDAPv2, which did not have a formal design spec for allowing SSL encryption. The LDAPv3 spec, which is what OpenLDAP 2.4 (and much earlier version) implement, specifically has startTLS as a part of that specification, which uses "ldap:///". I.e., ldaps is a bastardized hack for LDAPv2. The proper way to do TLS encryption with LDAPv3 capable servers such as OpenLDAP 2.[1-4+] is to use the startTLS extended operation over a "ldap:///" URI. In addition, there are other ways to have an encrypted connection between an LDAP client and server without involving TLS at all, such as SASL/GSSAPI. As Michael noted, you can, in addition to enabling TLS encryption between the client and servers, use client cert authentication (SASL/EXTERNAL) so as to remove the requirement for clear text credentials to be stored in the olcSyncRepl attribute (if using simple binds). And again, the usage of SASL/GSSAPI also precludes the neccessity of storing cleartext credentials in the olcSyncRepl attribute. As an aside, I would note that 2.4.40 is completely unsafe to use with multimaster replication. I would generally suggest forming a clear set of requirements for your replication environment, and then asking how to implement them. Your current question is too vague/general to really be answered well. Hope that helps!

When running different replicas which terminate TLS themselves you can issue a different server cert with distinct subject-DN for each of them and put FQDN(s) of the same HA address(es) (e.g. of your load-balancer(s)) into subjectAltName extension in all these different server certs. Does that answer your question? Ciao, Michael.

An DN by definition wouldn't contain port information.

ACL to authenticate gitlab users

by Xaar

Hello, I want to authenticate users via OpenLDAP to Gitlab. In Gitlab configuration there is a gitlab.rb file, where I can write some special user (let it be gitlabuser) with credentials who will be bind to ldap server. Now my question is, what acl should I provide to this user on OpenLDAP server to allow other users authenticate to Gitlab ? Now my DIT looks like this: dc=company,dc=com | | - cn=admin - cn=gitlabuser | | - ou=Groups - ou=Users -> here are users which I want to give access to Gitlab Is this entry is fair enough ? dn: olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config changetype: modify replace: olcAccess olcAccess: {0} to attrs=userPassword by anonymous auth by dn=„cn=admin,dc=company,dc=com” write by * none olcAccess: {1} to dn.base=„” by * read olcAccess: {2} to * by * read Best Regards !

Interpreting RFC 2849

by Joseph L. Casale

Do I read the RFC correctly regarding the value-spec for the ASCII value case stating exactly one FILL character follows the colon by zero or more SAFE-STRING occurrences? In other words, the following is OK: `attribute-type: ` but not `attribute-type:` This format only applies to changetype add, if I interpret the spec correctly, what sense does it make to ask the dsa to remove any values for the specified attribute type on the new, yet to be created entry, effectively removing the type? And why is the later not tolerated, neither makes sense to me on a changetype add? Thanks, jlc

Secure replication

by Real, Elizabeth (392K)

Hey guys, I’m running multi-master OpenLDAP (version 2.4.40) servers and need to secure replication. Can you point me to where I can find that information? What I found online is old and does not apply to the version I’m running. The olcSyncRepl directive on both systems needs to go from: olcSyncRepl: rid=001 provider=ldap to: olcSyncRepl: rid=001 provider=ldaps Thank you, Liz
