LDAP authentication with uid
by Mary Kao 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hello, This is a real newbie question ::) I have configured apache httpd to use LDAP for basic authentication (userid and password). I am not sure what the directory DN should look like when using "uid" rather than "cn"? In my LDAP directory I have: dn: cn=Christine Smith,ou=ELOGAccounts,ou=RavenApps,dc=my-domain,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: uidObject cn: Christine Smith sn: Smith uid: christine userPassword:: Y2hyaXN0aW5l Where do I put the "uid" so that when the httpd sends over the uid the ldap server will search on it? Thank you,Mary

Safely Allow Users to Write self Attributes
by Daniel Howard 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

I would like to allow users to ldapmodify a few of their attibutes ... sshPublicKey,gecos .. This does not appear to do the trick: 0-14:08 djh@ldap0 ~$ *sudo ldapsearch -Q -LLL -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b \> cn=config '(olcDatabase={1}hdb)' olcAccess* dn: olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config olcAccess: {0}to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange by self write by anonymou s auth by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write by * none olcAccess: {1}to dn.base="" by * read olcAccess: {2}to * by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write by * read olcAccess: {3}to attrs=sshPublicKey,gecos by self write Why? I would guess the {2} rule "to * by * read" has precedence. As I understand it, if I wanted to re-order those rules, I would delete and rewrite the rules. This would require me to delete the rule that gives admin the access to write the rules in the first place ... sounds like a way to lock myself out of my LDAP database? So, my guess is that I want and LDIF like so: dn: olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config changetype: modify remove: olcAccess olcAccess: {3}to attrs=sshPublicKey,gecos by self write - add: olcAccess olcAccess: {2}to attrs=sshPublicKey,gecos by self write - add: olcAccess olcAccess: {3}to * by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write by * read - remove: olcAccess olcAccess: {2}to * by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write by * read If I run this as cn=admin then it should: 1) Remove ineffective {3} 2) Add an effective {2} (now there are two {2}s..) 3) Add a new {3} to match incumbent {2} 4) Remove incumbent {2} I shouldn't lock myself out because I add a new rule for admin access before deleting the old rule, and as far as LDAP is superficially concerned, all these olcAccess attributes are just unique records, so the conflicting number rules aren't going to be a problem .. ? Am I on the right track? Thanks, -danny -- http://dannyman.toldme.com

Translucent proxy and changing upstream DNs
by Sullivan, Daniel [AAA] 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hi, Please forgive my ignorance if this is a stupid question; I have only been messing around with OpenLDAP for a few days, but I believe I hit a roadblock that somebody must have seen somewhere. Basically, I am planning on using a translucent proxy to augment the attribute set served up by an external LDAP provider. Specifically I am provisioning uidNumber and gidNumbers for AD accounts. I cannot populate the upstream RFC2307 attributes. My problem is this; it is my understanding that a translucent proxy is going to match records in the local and remote databases based on DN. Admins are going to be moving user and group objects around upstream, which will reliably break the mapping between local and remote databases after the objects with uidNumber and gidNumbers are populated into the local database. I can think of a couple of algorithms that would reconcile this, although they would require custom coding and maintaining a localized external view of the data (i.e. in a SQL database). So, I suppose my question is this; Is there an elegant way to solve this problem, for example, having the translucent proxy map by an attribute other than DN, such as an AD SID? I appreciate your time and input :-) Thank you, Dan Sullivan ******************************************************************************** This e-mail is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.

cn=config (MMR) replication causes ldapsearch -ZZ to hang on RHEL 6.7
by Frank Crow 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

I'm trying to move my OpenLDAP MMR configuration from RHEL 6.5 (OpenLDAP 2.4.23) to RHEL 6.7 (OpenLDAP 2.4.40). On RHEL 6.5 it is working no with no problems. On RHEL 6.7, the configuration causes "ldapsearch -ZZ" to hang indefinitely. The cn=config section in slapd.conf looks like this: # sync provider configuration overlay syncprov syncprov-checkpoint 1 1 syncrepl rid=001 provider=ldap://server1 searchbase="cn=config" filter="(|(objectClass=olcDatabaseConfig)(objectClass=olcOverlayConfig))" bindmethod=sasl saslmech=EXTERNAL starttls=critical tls_cert=/etc/openldap/csa-certs/config.crt tls_key=/etc/openldap/csa-certs/config.key tls_cacert=/etc/openldap/csa-certs/cacert.pem tls_reqcert=demand type=refreshAndPersist retry="5 10 10 10 30 +" timeout=1 syncrepl rid=002 provider=ldap://server2 searchbase="cn=config" filter="(|(objectClass=olcDatabaseConfig)(objectClass=olcOverlayConfig))" bindmethod=sasl saslmech=EXTERNAL starttls=critical tls_cert=/etc/openldap/csa-certs/config.crt tls_key=/etc/openldap/csa-certs/config.key tls_cacert=/etc/openldap/csa-certs/cacert.pem tls_reqcert=demand type=refreshAndPersist retry="5 10 10 10 30 +" timeout=1 mirrormode on If I comment out that section in slapd.conf then "ldapsearch -ZZ" works but (obviously) I don't get cn=config replication. Am I doing something wrong in the configuration? Is it a fluke that it is working on 2.4.23 in the first place? Or does anyone know what may have changed (or is more strict or whatever) in the 2.4.40 release? Should I try to just remove RHEL's version of OpenLDAP and install the latest from openldap.org instead? Any assistance is highly appreciated! Thanks, -- Frank

Openldap allows to break schema (and doesn't start ever after)
by Daniel Fenert 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hi, I've accidentally broken my openldap schema when I've changed one of objectClass definitions. For example I have two objectClasses and one is a parent for second: olcObjectClasses: {0}( 1.2.3.4 NAME 'foo' DESC '' SUP top AUXILIARY X-ORIGIN 'user defined' ) olcObjectClasses: {1}( 1.2.3.5 NAME 'bar' DESC '' SUP foo AUXILIARY X-ORIGIN 'user defined' ) I've changed definition of foo - I've delete this object and (my mistake) put it without any number at bottom of all classes: dn: cn=config changetype: modify delete: olcObjectClasses olcObjectClasses: {0} - add: olcObjectClasses olcObjectClasses: ( 1.2.3.4 NAME 'foo' DESC '' SUP top AUXILIARY X-ORIGIN 'user defined' ) So now I have class bar at top of schema and foo at bottom. After restart slapd won't start. Slapcat says: 56d4678f olcObjectClasses: value #5 olcObjectClasses: ObjectClass not found: "foo" 56d4678f config error processing cn=config: olcObjectClasses: ObjectClass not found: "foo" slapcat: bad configuration file! I know that is my mistake, but I think openldap shouldn't allow to make something that could break schema. I think that there are should constraints that do not allow to remove objectClass which is parent for another class. Is it a known bug, or anyone has stumbled upon this and has a solution to start slapd afterwards? -- Daniel Fenert

slapd + bdb backend , some queries failing with "Internal error on get_nextid"
by Tobias Gierke 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Hi, Recently we all of a sudden started getting this error message on certain queries (but not all of them). I had a brief look at back-bdb/search.c but unfortunately there are no comments that point to a possible cause. Does this mean the database is corrupted ? Can this be fixed with db_recover ? Thanks, Tobias P.S.

A virtual power reset (i.e. reset), or a power reset of the host? > In the latter case some writes that the VM considers done may not be committed on the host, depending on the exact configuration. You didn't give any details on that, so I can only guess... The latter, with the VM's virtio disks being LVM volumes assigned and dedicated to it using libvirt--a run-of-the-mill configuration. -- Arto Bendiken | @bendiken | http://ar.to
