Hi Douglas, It would probably be worthwhile to dig into LDAP schema to understand attribute definitions, matching rules, etc. To start, memberUid is a string type. It's not a DN type: attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.12 NAME 'memberUid' EQUALITY caseExactIA5Match SUBSTR caseExactIA5SubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 ) As opposed to member, which is specifically a DN type: attributetype: ( 2.5.4.31 NAME 'member' DESC 'RFC2256: member of a group' SUP distinguishedName ) attributetype: ( 2.5.4.49 NAME 'distinguishedName' EQUALITY distinguishedNameMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12 ) Regards, Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>

Thanks. Yes, very helpful. For the group that lists our accounts I now have full DN dn: cn=admins,ou=group,dc=server,dc=domain objectClass: posixGroup objectClass: top cn: admins memberUid: uid=user,ou=accounts,dc=server,dc=domain slapd.conf: limits group/posixGroup/memberUid="cn=admins,ou=group,dc=server,dc=domain" size=unlimited time=unlimited Though I am still hitting the limit.

Hi Edgar, What database backend technology do you plan on using. Do you know how much disk space your database will consume? How many anticipated clients? Anticipated read & write rate? etc. Generally, if you have slapd-mdb as your backend, then you want your RAM to be greater than the database size for optimal performance. For HD, it's generally recommended to use SSD. CPU's will depend on your anticipated read etc rates. I.e., substantially more information is necessary to really give any solid advice. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>

Configuring OpenLDAP with a custom schema instead of default schemas
by Jon Smark 20 Jul '17

20 Jul '17

Hi, I'm new to OpenLDAP and I'm finding it hard to perform the initial configuration (a lot of the information I find online seems to pertain only to old versions of OpenLDAP, which used a different configuration system). Anyway, I have defined a schema file with the custom attributes and object classes relevant to my domain. Starting from a fresh installation of OpenLDAP 2.4.42 running on Ubuntu 16.04, I want to configure my Slapd server to *only* consider my schema file and to ignore all the other schemas it's configured to use by default. I thought it would be as simple as removing the old /etc/ldap/slapd.d and replacing it with the output of slaptest applied to my schema file. This doesn't work, unfortunately, because slapd refuses to start afterwords. I apologize if this question seems basic, but I'm stuck on this very first step and I've been unable to find an up-to-date tutorial on how to configure a recent OpenLDAP server from scratch (ie, without all the default schemas). Thanks in advance for your kind help! Regards, Jon

I > have not found the answer yet through extensive searching of the > internets. Hi Douglas, The answer lies in the slapd.conf(5) man page, in the description of the "limits" directive, specifically in this portion: "sets the limits for any DN listed in the values of the at attribute" memberUID does not contain a DN, therefore it cannot be used. Hope that helps! Regards, Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>

May depend on the verification routines for CACertificate binary data. Do the two CA's have the same subject line? I haven't dug into the code yet to see how it does the comparison for these values, so it could be way off base. > (Note: apologies for any duplicate messages, I'm having issues getting my > posts to register with the mailing list) The list is moderated.

Limiting Search Results By Group Membership
by Douglas Duckworth 18 Jul '17

Hi Everyone, I am building a new LDAP v 2.4 cluster. We do not allow anonymous binds and set "sizelimit 1" for all users except our service account used for binding. limits dn.exact="uid=important,ou=sa,dc=blah" size=unlimited time=unlimited provides the bind account unlimited results. However, for group members, I am still hitting the "sizelimit 1" when trying: limits group/posixGroup/memberUid="cn=admins,dc=blah" size=unlimited time=unlimited Our group entry in LDAP: # admins, group, ldap.server dn: cn=admins,dc=blah objectClass: posixGroup objectClass: top cn: admins memberUid: admin1 memberUid: admin2 >From reading the slapd.conf man page, it seems we're not using the default objectclass "groupOfNames," or attribute "member," however when I use the defaults, or the above which exist in our directory, I still hit "sizelimit 1." Of course using dn.exact for our individual accounts works, though I don't want to touch slapd.conf every time we hire someone. Do you have any insight into what could be causing this behavior? I have not found the answer yet through extensive searching of the internets.
