Definition of an object.
by dE 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hi! I was reading RFC 4512, here there is a mention of 'object' for the first time in "Object identifiers (OIDs) [X.680] are represented in....". Question is what is an object? Is it an entry (aka directory) in the server?

Very slow ldapserach
by Saša-Stjepan Bakša 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hi, Year ago we have tested openldap with back_mdb and it was fantastic. Search worked as a charm. Database was filled with 20 mil. users and serach returned some 20 k results per sec (my colegue did the test). Now we need that setup for some tests and we encountered very slow response - 1 search for user data with some aliased data need 8 to 20 seconds to be retrieved. ldapsearch -h 10.14.252.104 -p 389 -D cn=admin,dc=spr -w test -s sub -a always -b num=1234563123,dc=num,dc=SPR ObjectClass=* num=1234563123,dc=num,dc=SPR is alias to uid aliasedObjectName: uid=1234563123,ds=USERS,o=STANDARD,dc=spr We build our openldap from git source. We have tried new as older versions as well and no change is seen. Hardware: SuperMicro, 2xQuad core, 32 GB RAM, RAID 10 storage. HP blade 2xQuad core, 64 GB RAM sorage 2 disks in mirror. Results are the same and not depending on hardware.

mirror entries with rewrite?
by Christian Bösch 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

Hi, I want to mirror entries from a subtree to another virtual tree. I tried with rwm-rewrite which works for rewriting but I want to keep the real entries. Is therefor rwm-rewrite the wrong approach or is that possible? Thanks in advance, Chris

Sorting the NAME Attribute
by Tim Gustafson 31 Mar '15

31 Mar '15

In the following post: http://www.openldap.org/cgi-bin/wilma_hiliter/openldap-technical/201001/msg… Quanah said: > However, I will note, the definitions of these attributes are RFC > defined. They have no ORDERING rule on purpose. I was not able to find what that purpose was. Does anyone have any idea why it was decided that something as critical as "name" attributes shouldn't have an ORDERING rule? In my case, I have users who have a lower-case first-letter in their last name, which makes them appear at the bottom of all lists of people when sorted on the LDAP server. Needless to say, this makes them unhappy. For most of my purposes, I simply sort the data in my code once it is retrieved from the LDAP server, but in some cases I don't have control over the software being used and therefore can't change it, and in other cases this is terribly inefficient or impractical. Other than "because the RFC says so", what's the reasoning behind not defining an ORDERING rule for "name" attributes", preferably one that is case-insensitive? Could it at least be made a build option to enable or disable an ORDERING rule on at least that attribute (or perhaps in a more general configurable way for other attributes as well), even if it's not truly RFC-compliant? -- Tim Gustafson tjg(a)ucsc.edu 831-459-5354 Baskin Engineering, Room 313A

disable logins with ACLs
by Igor Shmukler 31 Mar '15

31 Mar '15

Hello, I am trying to disable user logins for expired trial users. After searching online, finally found a useful thread from this very list archived http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201111/msg00165.html I accidentally tried to mess with userPassword hash, but it did not work me. Since in that thread Michael showed/shared a better way to achieve the same goal of disabling users with ACLs, I am trying to copy his method. I attempted to follow Michael's example. It has not worked yet. Below is my script: dn: olcDatabase={3}hdb,cn=config changetype: modify replace: olcAccess olcAccess: {0}to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange filter=(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(serviceLevel=suspended)) by dn="cn=config" write by * none olcAccess: {1}to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange filter=(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(!(serviceLevel=suspended))) by self write by anonymous auth by dn="cn=admin,dc=directory,dc=apple,dc=com" write by dn="cn=config" write by * none olcAccess: {2}to dn.base="" by * read olcAccess: {3}to * filter=(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(serviceLevel=suspended)) by dn="cn=config" write by * none olcAccess: {4}to * filter=(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(!(serviceLevel=suspended))) by self write by dn="cn=admin,dc=directory,dc=apple,dc=com" write by dn="cn=config" write by * read Currently, ldapmodify(1) is failing with an implementation specific error, likely due to messed-up syntax or something. The additional info: <olcAccess> handler exited with 1 Michael's example is not written for OLC, so I managed to do something wrong. Any ideas? Thank you, Igor Shmukler

sane ppolicy choices
by Igor Shmukler 31 Mar '15

31 Mar '15

Hello, I am trying to implement a trial [period] for new customers, using the OpenLDAP password policy overlay. I was thinking about setting a combination of pwdMaxAge, pwdMustChange and pwdAllowUserChange. Basically, the best idea I have had is to set MaxAge to the length of trial [in seconds] then in a user changes the password while in trial mode, calculate MaxAge as (trial_length - time_passed), then at the end setting MustChange to true and AllowUserChange to false [until the trial has been converted]. Is that a sane policy? Should I be doing something totally different? Please advise. Sincerely, Igor Shmukler

Re: Q: different SSF settings for ldapi:// than for ldap:
by Michael Ströder 30 Mar '15

Ulrich Windl wrote: > Isn't the SSF strength for ldapi:// zero? The SSF strength of ldapi:// is whatever you set with configuration directive localSSF. It's your local security policy decision. Personally on my systems I don't see any problem with setting it to an equal strength like a strongly encrypted TLS connection. YMMV. Ciao, Michael.

(I guess > 71 bit encryption; so I guess 255 means 255-bit encryption, but you say I'm > wrong) Yes, the default is 71 which is lower than what you specified as minssf. Ciao, Michael.
