[LMDB] Two API questions
by Klaus Malorny 04 May '15

04 May '15

Hi, during the implementation of my first project using LMDB I got two questions: 1. I wanted to write a small utility function that determines a rough estimation of the free space, using the mdb_env_stat, mdb_env_info and mdb_stat functions, summing up the block counts, multiplying it with the block size and putting this in relation to the map size. Typically I know which databases exist, but I wondered whether there would be a possibility to enumerate the existing databases and did not find anything. Is it correct that currently there is no way to get the names? 2. For one task, I needed to walk through a subset of the keys with a cursor and to delete key/value pairs that meet some criteria. From the documentation, it is unclear to me how to proceed after a deletion, i.e. which cursor operation should be used to access the next key/value pair. Both MDB_GET_CURRENT and MDB_NEXT seemed to work. Which one is preferred or the "officially" correct way? I guess MDB_NEXT. Thanks a lot. Regards, Klaus

OpenLDAP referrals and kerberos error for MAC
by Aimee He 04 May '15

04 May '15

Dear Technical of openLDAP, I use OpenLDAP development on the Mac platform, run into the following 2 questions, find a lot of information, still not resolved. Could you help me, Thank you. 1. Referrals error, Code flow: ld = ldap_init(host, port); rc = ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, &version); rc = ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, LDAP_OPT_ON); rc = ldap_set_rebind_proc(ld, bind_prompt, NULL); rc = ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_SIZELIMIT,&sizelimit); rc = ldap_simple_bind_s(ld, adminDN, adminPwd); rc = ldap_search_s(ld, findDN, LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL, [filter UTF8String], attrs, 0, &result); CallBack function： static int bind_prompt(LDAP *ld,LDAP_CONST char *url,ber_tag_t request, ber_int_t msgid, void *params) { static char *dnsuffix; static char dn[256],password[256]; int authmethod; NSLog(@"rebind for request=%ld,msgid=%ld,url=%s\n",request,(long)msgid,url); authmethod = LDAP_AUTH_SIMPLE; NSLog(@"re-bind dn?"); strcat(dn, dnsuffix); if (authmethod == LDAP_AUTH_SIMPLE && dn[0] != '\0') { NSLog(@"re-bind password?"); } else { password[0] = '\0'; } return ldap_bind_s(ld, dn, password, authmethod); } Description of the problem:ldap_search_s() return value is 10, which is LDAP_REFERRAL,an it did not call the function “bind_prompt()”. 2. Kerberos error, Code flow： ld = ldap_init(host, port); rc = ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, &version); rc = ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, LDAP_OPT_OFF); rc = ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_SIZELIMIT,&sizelimit); rc = ldap_set_rebind_proc(ld, bind_prompt, NULL); rc = ldap_bind_s(ld, adminDN, adminPwd, LDAP_AUTH_KRBV4); Description of the problem:LDAP_AUTH_KRBV4,LDAP_AUTH_KRBV41,LDAP_AUTH_KRBV42,ldap_bind_s return value is -6, which is LDAP_AUTH_UNKNOWN.

idassert-bind seems to ignore binddn
by Ryan Lovett 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hello, I've setup a simple proxy so that local LDAP clients can get access to protected attributes on a remote server. My proxy is slapd 2.4.31 with this slapd.conf: include /etc/ldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/nis.schema include /etc/ldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema pidfile /var/run/slapd/slapd.pid argsfile /var/run/slapd/slapd.args loglevel none modulepath /usr/lib/ldap moduleload back_ldap sizelimit 500 tool-threads 1 backend ldap database ldap suffix "dc=company,dc=com" uri ldap://ldap.company.com:389 idassert-bind bindmethod=simple binddn="uid=my_id,ou=my_dept,dc=company,dc=com" credentials="mypass" authcId="dn:uid=my_id,ou=my_dept,dc=company,dc=com" mode=legacy ldap.company.com permits the my_id DN to access privileged attributes that anonymous users cannot. I can run ldapsearch against ldap.company.com with simple auth, binding as my_id, and view the privileged attributes. ldapsearch -H ldap://ldap.company.com:389 -LLL -x \ -b ou=users,dc=company,dc=com \ -W -D uid=my_id,ou=my_dept,dc=company,dc=com \ "(uid=12345)" When I run ldapsearch against my proxy slapd with the above slapd.conf however... ldapsearch -H ldap://myproxy.company.com:389 -LLL -x \ -b ou=users,dc=company,dc=com \ "(uid=12345)" ... a packet trace shows that slapd is connecting to ldap.company.com without binding as my_id: LDAPMessage bindRequest(1) "<ROOT>" simple messageID: 1 protocolOp: bindRequest (0) bindRequest version: 3 name: authentication: simple (0) simple: <MISSING> As a result I do not see the privileged attributes. Based on the docs <http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man5/slapd-ldap.5.html>, I've chosen mode=legacy because I'd like for the proxy to "perform a simple bind as the authcDN ... and assert the client's identity when it is not anonymous." I've also tried following the advice at http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/532.html which states: If no authzID is given, and mode is set to none (for instance because the > remote server does not support the proxyAuthz control), the clients will be > authorized as "cn=Proxy,dc=example,dc=com" even if they actually connected > anonymously to the proxy. yielding: idassert-bind bindmethod=simple binddn="uid=my_id,ou=my_dept,dc=company,dc=com" credentials="mypass" mode=none But an ldapsearch of my proxy then reports "Inappropriate authentication (48)" which I don't understand because client-to-proxy and proxy-to-remote all use simple auth. What am I doing wrong? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Ryan

Significance of name forms.
by dE 01 May '15

01 May '15

Suppose a name form is attached to a structural object class. Then, when referring to entries belonging to that object class (which has no DIT Structure Rules associated to it), is using the MUST attributes as defined in the name form to construct AVA still necessary? No DIT Structure Rules refer to this name form.

Re: idassert-bind seems to ignore binddn

Thanks for your response. I'm surprised Ubuntu's most recent LTS is shipping such an old version of OpenLDAP! I just built and installed 2.4.40 packages on Ubuntu 14.04 from Debian Jesse's 2.4.40 source. Unfortunately slapd returns the same results as 2.4.31 and a packet capture shows the same binding behavior.

getent passwd only catch local user passwd
by Yingbo Li 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Hi, I am new to LDAP. The company's IT own LDAP server, I tried to configure openldap client but failed. My OS is CentOS 7, openldap is 2.4.39. I configured ldap and ldaps. I can use ldapsearch to find out full ldap info of my LDAP account. I configured with authconfig-tui. I also modified /etc/pam.d/system-auth and password-auth, change pam_sss.so to pam_ldap.so. While when I tried getent passwd, I can only find local users. I cannot su to my LDAP account. Why? I google online it looks like CentOS 7 has problem to configure ldap client. Cent0S 7 does not have pam_ldap module. But I can find pam_ldap.so in the system. What should I do to fix it? Switch to CentOS 6.6? Your help is really appreciated! Thank you! Yingbo

Ldap challenge
by Ross, Daniel B. 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Ok I have looked a couple options but I really dont know how to accomplish what I need to do. Here is what I am trying to do. I have a greater organization that is stuck on using Microsoft products namely Microsoft LDS. To make matters worse they present the data to my linux servers in a completely non-standard way. Its driving my solaris and linux box nuts and they simply dont want to work with it. What i need to do is continue to use the campus usernames and passwords but present the Data in a format that my linux/unix hosts can use. Is this possible? i.e. userid would still be samwise but instead of a bizzarre OU=monkeypeople,dc=example,dc=com I want it to present as people,dc=example,dc=com. I looked at referral and aliasing but it does not seem to be doing what I am trying to do. Passthrough authentication looks close but I cant find sufficient documentation to actually configure a system to use it. Thanks Daniel

Objectclass not enabled in PHPldapadmin
by Gokulnath Arjunan 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Hi, I have installed LDAP 2.4 version and using phpldapadmin to manage it. I am not seeing all the options enabled in create object page. Like I can see "Generic: Organisational Role" and "Generic: Organisational Unit" but other options like "Generic: Address Book Entry, Generic: Posix Group, Generic: User Account" are in disabled mode. I want them to be available to create group and users. Please guide me how to resolve this issue. I noticed below errors/warning during login to phpldapadmin and not sure about it. Samba: Group Mapping: posixGroup removed from template as it is not defined in the schema Alias: inetOrgPerson removed from template as it is not defined in the schema Thanks Gokulnath
