Re: adding a custom attribute
by Igor Shmukler 02 Dec '14

Hello Quanah, Thank you for your reply. Do I create a new schema file for my new attribute as in ${new_attribute}.schema and another for the new object using this new attribute?

Obtaining the hashed password using ldapsearch, from aWwindows 2012 server.
by Mark London 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

Hi =- We upgraded the OS of our Active Directory server to Windows 2012. On a linux computer running Redhat 5, we use a script to obtain an account's hashed password, using the ldapsearch command. We request the msSFU30Password attribute. The script works fine for any account that was created before the new server was installed. For new accounts, no password is returned. Does anyone know how to make this possible again? One suggestion by someone, was to install the "Services for Unix <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Services_for_UNIX>" package, which is now deprecated (I can't find what replaces it!). I installed it, but it didn't seem to help. Any other suggestions? Thanks. Mark London MIT PSFC

Have problem searching against ldap server after asyn sasl bind
by Qian Li 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

Hi All, Recently, I tried to write a ldap client to do ldap search asynchronously, but failed to perform search operation after a successful async sasl (digest-md5) bind. I’ve tried some code, but only succeeded in searching in synchronized sasl bind. I compared the captured sync and async packets: In sync bind, the search packets were encrypted. In async bind, after sasl (digest-md5) binding to ldap server asynchronously (by calling ldap_sasl_interactive_bind() twice), ldap_search_ext() was called. But the search packet was in plain text. Then the ldap server reset the connection or just didn’t response (in the case of MSAD). Did I use the ldap API incorrectly? Or async sasl bind doesn’t support search operation? Any suggestion will be appreciated and sorry for my poor English.

Debian style cn=config

Hi, while looking what debian generates in their cn=config for Debian Jessie I found following acl on the frontend database: dn: olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig objectClass: olcFrontendConfig olcDatabase: {-1}frontend olcAccess: {0}to * by dn.exact=gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth manage by * break olcAccess: {1}to dn.exact="" by * read olcAccess: {2}to dn.base="cn=Subschema" by * read olcSizeLimit: 500 I somehow fail to grasp the relevance of granting manage access to the frontend database. Is it just me or is this is acl just mindless pasting. Apart from that debian jessie is now on openldap 2.4.40 thoug still built agains gnutls.

need serious help on replication over ssl - getting do_syncrep1: rid 001 ldap_sasl_bind_s failed (-1)
by wailok tam 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

Hi, I would really be grateful if a nice guy would appear and save me with this one. Simple bind replication over ldaps port does not work. I don't have a clue. There are very few guides on setting up replication over ldaps on the web or on prints. I am following this one as I am using RH: Technical blurb about Oracle Engineered Systems: Configuring OpenLDAP for High Availability. (Master/Slave or Provider/Consumer configuration) [Part 3 of 4] Some of the suspicious bit are: 1. Concatenating the master CA cert and the original slave CA cert to make a new CA cert for use with the slave. But the server cert and key in the slave was signed with the original slave CA without the concatenation.2. the following line:tls_cert= in the slave replication directive seems to be suggesting the location of the master server certificate in the guide but there is no clear mention. I put the location of the master server certificate in this line. A billion thanks in advance.

It just is "willing to ignore". Almost human. Your list of complaints so far: a) You told OpenLDAP to load a file that didn't exist b) You modified a file, by hand, where the first comment in the file is: # AUTO-GENERATED FILE - DO NOT EDIT!! Use ldapmodify. c) In doing (b), you failed to preserve proper file permissions d) You failed to use the correct tools for doing what you wanted to do, after you broke the configuration (slapcat/slapadd) I'm not really sure what to make of your above complaint. It seems you are saying you think it is an error for ldap to replace a value with itself? All LDAP servers will do that with a replace operation. I.e., there is significant user error present here, and you got yourself into a bad spot, and made it worse via your own actions. A lack of understanding how to use a piece of software does not indicate the software itself is flawed. I will agree that it takes some time to learn how to work with LDAP in general, regardless of it is OpenLDAP, 389, Apache DS, etc. It may indeed be best in your case, to have a graphical UI hiding the grisly details from you, since those details are apparently causing significant challenge in your case. However, in the long run, it pays off significantly to understand the technology you're attempting to use. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Server Architect Zimbra, Inc. -------------------- Zimbra :: the leader in open source messaging and collaboration

Syncrepl N-Way multimaster replication - Configuration issue on Rhel6
by coma 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

Hello everybody, i'm currently tring to configure N-Way multimaster replication, and i'm facing two issues with olcServerId and slapd -h options. For information: I'm running on Rhel6.6 with openldap 2.4.39-8. I'm running slapd on non-standard ports (11389 for ldap and ldap with TLS, and 11390 for ldaps) I've tried on standard ports but same issues. I've configured the replication following these two procedures: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/273533 http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html#N-Way%20Multi-Master - First Issue details: When i'm adding olcServerID's on both servers, using following ldif: cat <<EOF | ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// dn: cn=config changetype: modify replace: olcServerID olcServerID: 1 ldap://server1-test1.test.com olcServerID: 2 ldap://server2-test1.test.com EOF i'm no longer able to restart slapd. Error is: read_config: no serverID / URL match found. Check slapd -h arguments. To resolve it, i've tried to add the URL of my servers in correspondant /etc/sysconfig/ldapExample: SLAPD_LDAP=no SLAPD_LDAPI=yes SLAPD_LDAPS=no SLAPD_URLS="ldap://server1-test1.test.com:11389 ldaps://server1-test1.test.com:11390" But issue "Error is: read_config: no serverID / URL match found." is always present event after a server reboot and a full openldap reinstallationn. - Second issue détails (replication disabled, serverID's removed): With /etc/sysconfig/ldap configured as: SLAPD_LDAP=no SLAPD_LDAPI=yes SLAPD_LDAPS=no SLAPD_URLS="ldap://:11389 ldaps://:11390" i'm able to connect on port 11389/11390 with clear, starttls and SSL using a ldap browser or ldapsearch, But with /etc/sysconfig/ldap configured as: SLAPD_LDAP=no SLAPD_LDAPI=yes SLAPD_LDAPS=no SLAPD_URLS="ldap://server1-test1.test.com:11389 ldaps://server1-test1.test.com:11390" i'm not able to connect anymore. Can you please help me on this? Thanks in advance,

syncrepl and change in ordering
by Amol Kulkarni 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Hello, I've a openldap 2.4.30 syncrepl setup which is used by our applications. There are over 50 servers in the setup. I want to upgrade our application to the next version. In a single downtime, all servers cannot be upgraded. So the application will be upgraded in phase wise manner. Application upgrade requires some changes in ldap schemas. I want to update the schemas in same phases as the application so as to avoid separate downtime for schema update. I'm planning to update schema on the consumers first and provider last so that during the phases, some servers with old schemas and others with new schemas both replicate properly. schemachecking is set to off on all servers. I understand that new attributes added in schema will not be present on provider at the beginning, so there is no question of their replication. I've compared the schemas and found that none of the attributes is deleted. Only change is that for some attributes we have added 'ordering' and for some we have changed the 'equality'. I'm not using cn=config - if that is a consideration. So will it all work ? Is there a better way? Thanks in advance, Amol Kulkarni.

Hi, thanks a lot for your reply. I want to leave the password in text first and go step by step. Do you mind highlighting those lines needed for a SSL thru ldaps configured slave?
