slapd 2.5 forwarding request .. please help
by enrico.becchetti＠gmail.com 09 Dec '23

Hi everyone, I have a particular setup and I need your help. I have a Slapd 2.5 running in a debian virtual machine. This ldap server has its own tree, dc=example,dc=com. I need this slapd server to forward the authentication requests for two domains other than its own, for example dc=example2,dc=com towards -> 192.168.1.1 dc=example3,dc=com towards -> 192.168.2.1 I read in the documentation that it is possible to do this forward but I can't modify the configuration using ldapmodify. Can you help me ? Thanks Willy

ldapsearch and own .ldaprc
by Stefan Kania 05 Dec '23

Hi to all, I just started to use my own .ldaprc file in $HOME: ------------- URI ldaps://provider01.example.net ldaps://provider02.example.net BASE dc=example,dc=net BINDDN uid=repl-user,ou=users,dc=example,dc=net TLS_REQCERT demand TLS_CACERT /opt/symas/etc/openldap/cacert.pem ------------- All options are working except "BINDDN". If I use the same user with "-D" it works, so the user is present. I expected that ldapsearch will ask for a password when using "BINDDN" but ldapsearch is executing as anonymous. Did I miss something? If "yes" then what? Stefan

Transitioning from slapd.conf to slapd.d, best practices for maintaining configuration comments?
by Ben Poliakoff 01 Dec '23

This is more of a practical question than a technical one, but it's prompted by a technical change: I'm *very* **very** belatedly transitioning from flat file slapd.conf config to slapd.d/OLC. With flat file configuration, it was straightforward to include text comments (e.g. "# blah blah"), but as far as I know there isn't any sort of analog for comments, when using slapd.d. Looking for any tips about how best to annotate slapd configuration, in a slapd.d/olc world. Does anyone have a practice that they find works well for them? Do people just maintain separate documents/wiki pages/etc that describe their servers' configs? Ben
