external authentication source
by Dieter Klünter 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Hi, rfc-4422 describes an EXTERNAL mechanism. Is there any means of defining and configuring an external authentication and authorization source, like an external sasl server? Or is this just confined to the client to provide an appropriate authorization string? -Dieter -- Dieter Klünter | Systemberatung http://sys4.de GPG Key ID: E9ED159B 53°37'09,95"N 10°08'02,42"E

openldap mirror mode replication does the versions of client matter
by Rakesh Rajasekharan 14 Mar '15

14 Mar '15

Hi, I have set up mirror mode replication with both my masters running 2.4.39 version. I have around 1000 clients connecting. The versions of openldap on these clients varies from 2.3.43( thats really old I know) , 2.4.23 and few have 2.4.39. My problem is the ldap servers almost hangs or freezes when the clients start connecting. In the error logs , I see this pattern " conn=6005 fd=4199 closed (TLS negotiation failure " Is this something to do with the client versions and will upgrading help. I was skeptical as this is in production. One more question, In mirror mode is it ok to have more than 2 masters. Thanks, Rakesh

Is CA issued certificate using OpenSSL as good as GoDaddy
by jeevan kc 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

I followed the below OpenLDAP guide to create CA issued certificate using OpenSSL and was able to enable SSL in the ldap server and applications can connect via ldaps:// port 636. Now I have some questions from the management where this certificate is as safe as the commercial certificates out there. Can someone clarify this? I would appreciate it. I followed the same procedures mentioned in the guide. 4.2 CA Issued CertificateIf you have access to a trusted Certificate Authority (CA), then step through the CA process to get a CA certificate, server certificate and server private key. See section 5.0 for info on how to configure your server with these items.However, if a trusted CA is not available, OpenSSL makes the same process quick and easy.The steps: 1. Create any directory for creating and signing your certificates. For example, /var/myca.% mkdir /var/myca2. Change to /var/myca and run the OpenSSL CA script (in /usr/share/ssl/misc/ on my box):% cd /var/myca/ % /usr/share/ssl/misc/CA.sh -newca CA certificate filename (or enter to create) <enter> Making CA certificate ... Using configuration from /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key ..........................++++++ .........................++++++ writing new private key to './demoCA/private/./cakey.pem' Enter PEM pass phrase: <ca pass> Verifying password - Enter PEM pass phrase: <ca pass again> ----- You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.

question about binding to our new openldap server
by Wang, Hui 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

Hi We just upgrade our OS system and installed the most recent openldap version: 2.4.4. I moved the config file and related openldap data files from older version 2.3.4 onto this new server. I can't make successful binding at this moment. The following is from the log file. Should I install the same version of openldap on this new box since I am trying to binding with old data file? Thank you all.

could not bind to openldap

Hi We just installed openldap on a new server. I could not bind to it. I tried with anonymous user and also the user from the default conf file. But doesn't work. Can anyone help?

ppolicy configuration
by Igor Shmukler 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

Hello, I am trying to apply per domain password policy. [At some point, it seems, these scripts worked for me, but I must have messed something up either in the setup or the scripts.] I managed to load ppolicy.la and from lsof(8), I can see it. Now, I want to be able to turn password policy on each domain. I have a simple script invoked as: $sudo ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f ppolicy.ldif The ppolicy.ldif is: dn: olcOverlay=ppolicy,olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config changetype: add objectClass: olcPPolicyConfig olcOverlay: ppolicy olcPPolicyDefault: cn=ppolicy,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com olcPPolicyUseLockout: TRUE olcPPolicyHashCleartext: TRUE When I try to add the online configuration, I get: SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth SASL SSF: 0 adding new entry "olcOverlay=ppolicy,olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config" ldap_add: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80) additional info: User Schema load failed for attribute "pwdAttribute". Error code 17: attribute type undefined I also have an LDIF for default policy, added as: $ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com -W -f default_ppolicy.ldif It contains: dn: ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: policies dn: cn=ppolicy,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: device objectClass: pwdPolicyChecker objectClass: pwdPolicy cn: ppolicy pwdAttribute: userPassword pwdInHistory: 8 pwdMinLength: 8 pwdMaxFailure: 3 pwdFailureCountInterval: 1800 pwdCheckQuality: 0 pwdMustChange: TRUE pwdGraceAuthNLimit: 0 pwdMaxAge: 7776000 pwdExpireWarning: 1209600 pwdLockoutDuration: 900 pwdLockout: TRUE When I try to add default_ppolicy.ldif, I get: adding new entry "ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com" adding new entry "cn=ppolicy,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com" ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21) additional info: objectClass: value #2 invalid per syntax It seems that OU=policies is created, but CN=ppolicy is not created. Is that right? I have four (4) values for objectClass. How can I find out which one is triggering the error? Any suggestions where I should start looking?! Thank you, Igor Shmukler

ldap_sasl_bind_s question
by Markus Moeller 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Hi, I try to replace deprecated ldap_bind_s with ldap_sasl_bind_s but I am missing some details about how to do that. With ldap_bind_s I have method as a int and ldap.h has the following defined /* authentication methods available */ #define LDAP_AUTH_NONE ((ber_tag_t) 0x00U) /* no authentication */ #define LDAP_AUTH_SIMPLE ((ber_tag_t) 0x80U) /* context specific + primitive */ #define LDAP_AUTH_SASL ((ber_tag_t) 0xa3U) /* context specific + constructed */ #define LDAP_AUTH_KRBV4 ((ber_tag_t) 0xffU) /* means do both of the following */ #define LDAP_AUTH_KRBV41 ((ber_tag_t) 0x81U) /* context specific + primitive */ #define LDAP_AUTH_KRBV42 ((ber_tag_t) 0x82U) /* context specific + primitive */ but in ldap_sasl_bind_s it is a char variable and I do not know what the value would be for the above auth methods. Where can I find them documented ? int ldap_sasl_bind_s(LDAP *ld, const char *dn, const char *mechanism, struct berval *cred, LDAPControl *sctrls[], LDAPControl *cctrls[], struct berval **servercredp); Thank you Markus

Looks like I have to clone the database to debug the ACLs. You're testing new ACLs on a production system without having tested them on an isolated test system? This is asking for trouble!
