Writing an OpenLDAP module like pw-sha2 is precisely the way to write a small external binary to validate passwords. There's no need to recompile all of OpenLDAP just to update a password module. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

LDAP search rule to find group owners
by Philip Colmer 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

We've got LDAP ACLs to restrict who can make changes to a group, like this one: to dn.sub="ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com" by dnattr="owner" write by set="this/owner/member & user" write by users none by * none so that both direct owners and people in groups that are owners can modify the group they own. This works really well but now I want to list all of the groups that a DN matches against as an owner. For direct owners, that is simple enough, but where someone is in a group and that group is an owner, it becomes trickier. Is there a way of performing an LDAP search that does the equivalent of the ACL (or something like it) to tell me which groups can be written to for a given DN? Regards Philip

Hi Ulrich, I totally agree, but I wanted to show "quick and dirty" way. Sometimes you just need to test something, and when everything works it is time to play around ;) Hey Ryan, thanks for advice. Today I played with "osixia/openldap" docker image and at the end of the day I was able to make it work. Just for reference, I'm sending modified part of ".config" file. ====================================================== include /etc/ldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/openldap.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/nis.schema include /etc/ldap/schema//ppolicy.schema pidfile /var/run/slapd/slapd.pid argsfile /var/run/slapd/slapd.args #ldapmod#modulepath ../servers/slapd/back-ldap/ #ldapmod#moduleload back_ldap.la #metamod#modulepath ../servers/slapd/back-meta/ #metamod#moduleload back_meta.la #monitormod#modulepath ../servers/slapd/back-monitor/ #monitormod#moduleload back_monitor.la modulepath /usr/lib/ldap/ moduleload back_meta.la moduleload rwm.la moduleload back_ldap.la ====================================================== Then just delete old slapd.d and convert .config to slapd.d directory and it is work. But still, it is not proper way through slapadd/slapmodify, which I'm looking for.

Then updating the apparmor profile can be done with the tools provided. Alternatively remove the profile for slapd in apparmor. I would not remove the whole package, because then no appliocation can/will be protected. Regards, Ulrich

Re: ContextCSN values in 3-multimaster setup

Yes. If you have any entries still in the DB that have an entryCSN from your old provider, it will be a valid contextCSN value. If you want that contextCSN gone, you'll need to slapcat your database and modify the LDIF accordingly before re-importing. I assume that was serverID 006, you would want to find all instances of #006# and replace them with one of #001#, #004#, or #005# (so they are consistent) and then reload all servers. Hope that helps. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>

use proprietary password hash in "userpassword"
by Meike Stone 19 Jan '17

19 Jan '17

Hello dear list, we like to migrate an a user database from SQL to LDAP and need to take over the user passwords. Problem is, the passwords are hashed by an known but proprietary algorithm. Is there a possibility, to write an small external binary, that is used by slapd to validate these passwords? (Maybe, we import that in a own attribute?) After password change, we want write a ssha hash, so that we can disable this external binary... Write a openldap modul like pw-sha2 is not the first choice, because we need to compile the openldap after each update on our own and that prevents us to use the distribution packages. Thanks for help, kindly regards Meike

It won't remove the contextCSN from the root entry if you do it online. I missed noting that step was necessary as well. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>
