Problem with "force user to password reset at first login

by Rajagopal Rc

Hi, I am trying to force users to change their password at first login or after password reset by administrator. Tried following: 1)Password policy 'pwdMustChange TRUE' doesn't seems to be working as non of the users get prompt to change their password at first login. 2) used the 'pwdReset TRUE' attribute in users attributes, and it won't prompt to change the password and didn't allow to login i observe below messages in log "slapd[12684]: connection restricted to password changing only slapd[12684]: send_ldap_result: err=50 matched="" text="Operations are restricted to bind/unbind/abandon/StartTLS/modify password" slapd[12684]: conn=1053 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=50 nentries=0 text=Operations are restricted to bind/unbind/abandon/StartTLS/modify password" Please help me configure the option to force all users to change their password at first login or after pwd reset by administrator.

send_ldap_response: ber write failed

by Jean-Francois Malouin

Hi, I have those errors BER write errors that have crept up recently on 2 slapd providers in a mirror replication setup and I can't seem to find the cause of them. I must have made a change to the config but pea brain of me can't seem to find the root of it. They are now occurring a few times a day. I have turned on BER, conns, stats, and sync debugging but it's still unclear to me what is going on. Can anyone shed some light? IP=172.16.10.247 is a HAproxy server with the 2 mirrors as backends. There is also a Munin host that polls the providers every 5m or so to gather stats. Thanks and Happy Holiday! jf Here a anonymized excerpt of the logs of one server showing the error message: Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: listen=8, new connection on 18 Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: added 18r (active) listener=(nil) Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: conn=2799347 fd=18 ACCEPT from IP=172.16.10.247:33746 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: activity on 2 descriptors Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: activity on: Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: 18r Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: read active on 18 Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=8 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=9 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=10 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: conn=2799347 op=0 BIND dn="" method=128 Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: conn=2799347 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: activity on 1 descriptor Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: activity on: Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=8 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=9 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=10 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: activity on 1 descriptor Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: activity on: Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: 18r Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: read active on 18 Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=8 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=9 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=10 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: activity on 1 descriptor Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: activity on: Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=8 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=9 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=10 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: activity on 1 descriptor Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: activity on: Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=8 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=9 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: daemon: epoll: listen=10 active_threads=0 tvp=zero Dec 26 03:20:45 ldap-server slapd[4306]: connection_read(18): input error=-2 id=2799347, closing.

ldap user authentication, PAM and chsh (change shell): how to make it work?

by Jean-Francois Malouin

Hi, Please, bear with me! I know that this is not an openldap question per se, but I've been banging my head on the wall for a long time on this issue and maybe someone knows the quick answer: with user authentication coming from LDAP, what is the magic that has to inserted with the PAM stuff on a client to allow users to change their login shells using 'chsh'? I've been googling this for hours to no avail. I nice hint would just suffice. I'm using libnss-ldap along with pam-ldap on Ubuntu and Debian clients. I managed to make the 'passwd' command to work using the libnss-ldap configuration 'pam_password exop' directive but I'm clueless with chsh... Right now I'm getting messages chsh: user 'luser' does not exist in /etc/passwd and the system auth logs tells me: chsh[4638]: pam_unix(chsh:auth): authentication failure; logname=luser uid=1137 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=luser /etc/pam.d/chsh originally contained, once the @include included: auth required pam_shells.so auth sufficient pam_rootok.so auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_ldap.so use_first_pass auth requisite pam_deny.so auth required pam_permit.so auth optional pam_cap.so account [success=2 new_authtok_reqd=done default=ignore] pam_unix.so account [success=1 default=ignore] pam_ldap.so account requisite pam_deny.so account required pam_permit.so session [default=1] pam_permit.so session requisite pam_deny.so session required pam_permit.so session optional pam_umask.so session required pam_unix.so session optional pam_ldap.so session optional pam_systemd.so I tried to trim it down -- removing the account and session entries but to no avail so far... thanks, jf

When you are that deep into analyzing (assuming you use Linux), it wmight be interesting to run blocktrace to see how your filesystem is accessed.

Q: "deferring operation: too many executing" / "deferring operation: pending operations"

by Ulrich Windl

Hi! I have a question for the following log messages: slapd[2215]: connection_input: conn=144871 deferring operation: too many executing slapd[2215]: connection_input: conn=144871 deferring operation: pending operations slapd[2215]: connection_input: conn=144871 deferring operation: pending operations What is "too many", i.e. where is that limit configured? Is it possible to tell how many "pending operations" there are? Finally: It seems slapd "drives against the wall hard", meaning it runs at full speed until the limit is reached, the refuses any more connection/operation. Is it possible to activate (configure) a "soft knee" behavior, where after reaching a specified limit of connections or operations rate slapd starts responding increasingly slower? That would help load balancers to select a different server in time... Regards, Ulrich

ldap_oc_mappings | keycol of type varchar

by Thangavel, Parameswaran

Hi, While exploring the OpenLDAP's backend-sql package, I found below behavior. The ldap_oc_mappings expects the keycol to be of type integer. For example, if I change the datatype of the identifier (id) of persons table to of type varchar then I am not able to retrieve the persons record during LDAP requests. However, if the column "id" is of type Integer then I am able to view the persons record as part of LDAP search requests. insert into ldap_oc_mappings (id,name,keytbl,keycol,create_proc,delete_proc,expect_return) values (2,'inetOrgPerson','persons','id',NULL,NULL,0); insert into persons (id,name,surname,password) values ('a21qec','Mitya','Kovalev','mit'); Question: 1) Is my observation correct? i.e the keycol used to map the LDAP entries to SQL data expects the primary key (id) to be of type integer. 2) If #1 is correct, do we have a way to support VARCHAR datatype for the primary key? In my application, we use GUID (alpha-numeric characters) as the primary key. Please advise. Thanks Param

fast delete a lot of entries

by Derek Zhou

dear list, I was experimenting with slapd by adding a lot of entries then deleting them. What I found is adding speed is not bad but deletion speed is lacking. With or without dbsync, delete speed is around half of that of adding. Naively, I thought deleting should be easier than adding, because in adding you actually need to pass and write whole entry of data, while in delete you can just mark the database page as free? The DB file did not shrink after massive deletion; which kind of suggest that deleting is only marking page as free, not really return them to the OS. I am using the latest git tree and the mdb backend. Another related idea is delete a whole branch from the DIT. LDAP is already hierarchical, to delete all entries under a branch, one would assume that there must be an better way than deleting entries with a client side script, like what I am doing? With SQL you can drop a table. With LDAP, can I delete a whole branch? -- Derek Zhou Shannon Systems http://www.shannon-sys.com
