libpam-ldapd issue
by Muhammad Bashir Al-Noimi 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Hello, I installed OpenLDAP under Ubuntu 13.04 x64 by using the mentioned steps in this article ( http://edin.no-ip.com/blog/hswong3i/ldap-single-sign-webmin-ubuntu-12-04-ho… ) the problem I've faced that my system cannot lookup Unix users in the LDAP database because I couldn't configure libpam-ldapd to enable Unix authentication, LDAP Authentication. How can I fix this issue? P.S. I'm still a newbie with LDAP so forgive me for silly question. I tried to use dpkg-reconfigure libpam-ldapd but it didn't ask me anything! -- Best Regards Muhammad Bashir Al-Noimi

slapd deferring operation?
by Aleksander Dzierżanowski 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Hi. I’m trying to migrate small other vendor LDAP server to OpenLDAP. I've created test environment with 3 multimaster OpenLDAP instances - version 2.4.36. Below is some strange behavior of slapd while I was adding few hunderd of accounts from ldif file using ‚ldapadd’ command from remote host. […] conn=1015 op=440 ADD dn=„uid=XXX,ou=People,ou=developers,o=test" conn=1015 op=440 RESULT tag=105 err=0 text= connection_input: conn=1015 deferring operation: too many executing conn=1015 op=441 ADD dn=„uid=YYY,ou=People,ou=developers,o=test" conn=1015 op=441 RESULT tag=105 err=0 text= […] My question is what does mean 'deferring operation’ - as you can see result is OK (err=0) so nothing was really deferred. Database is really small - few hundred entries, and server is not used at all by any other machine. I was using rootdn user which I suppose does not have any limits for search/add/mod operations? Is it some configuration issue? I also observe the same ‚deferring’ info in log file when there is only a single host client connected to this LDAP server - RedHat/CentOS with configured sssd. They are not so often but appear regularly. — Olo

use openssl or moznss for more than TLS?
by Steve Eckmann 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

We need a FIPS-validated SHA512 for password storage. The pw-sha2 module provides SHA512 but isn't FIPS-validated. I see that I can use openssl or moznss in FIPS mode to get TLS, but I don't see how to get to either of those library's crypto functions from openldap. Is it possible? Thanks. Steve

Migrating to N-Way Master
by Peter Sprokkelenburg 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Currently have a provider / consumer setup in one datacenter. Looking to expand to other datacentre and would like better redundancy. Running version 2.4.28. What's the best way to change from provider / consumer to n-way master? Down time is an option. Can the current replication be stopped, reconfigured and then started again? ---- Peter

Can multiple threads use the same MDB transaction?
by Petri Huovinen＠ 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

Hi, Can multiple threads access to the same MDB transaction and issue read-only calls between opening and closing the MDB_cursors? More detail, we would like to use MDB_NOTLS flag when opening the MDB environments, start read-only transaction in a single thread. Then we would like to use this transaction in the multiple threads simultaneously (opening cursors, reading, closing cursors). Only after these operations are finalized we would then commit the transaction in a single thread. The same question applies to the read-write transaction. The only differences would be that MDB_NOTLS flag is not relevant and that we would anyway serialize the update operations and would not allow parallel read operations and update operations. Does MDB support the above scenario? If not, what is the reason? Thanks, Petri Huovinen

slapd-ldap and Multiple URIs: Dealing with hosts that are down
by Jesus Jr M Salvo 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

Using the meta backend, I have specified a list of LDAP URIs. I am testing what happens if the first URI becomes unresponsive ( e.g. The host was shutdown, etc. ). So I deliberately put in a bogus URI as the first URI that I know will not respond ( TCP SYN would be sent out by OpenLDAP, but no TCP ACK coming back ): ##################### backend meta database meta access to * by * read suffix "dc=ldapproxy,dc=local" uri ldap://10.10.10.10/dc=aas,dc=priv,dc=ldapproxy,dc=local ldap://aassydc02.aas.priv/ suffixmassage "dc=aas,dc=priv,dc=ldapproxy,dc=local" "dc=aas,dc=priv" chase-referrals no lastmod off protocol-version 3 timeout 10 ##################### With the above timeout setting, I was hoping that after 10 seconds, OpenLDAP will try the next URI it the first URI did not respond ... but it did not as per tshark capture below. What setting do I need to accomplish what I need ? 0.000000 127.0.0.1 -> 127.0.0.1 TCP 76 50649 > ldap [SYN] Seq=0 Win=32792 Len=0 MSS=16396 SACK_PERM=1 TSval=133287492 TSecr=0 WS=128 0.000021 127.0.0.1 -> 127.0.0.1 TCP 76 ldap > 50649 [SYN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1 Win=32768 Len=0 MSS=16396 SACK_PERM=1 TSval=133287492 TSecr=133287492 WS=128 0.000035 127.0.0.1 -> 127.0.0.1 TCP 68 50649 > ldap [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=1 Win=32896 Len=0 TSval=133287492 TSecr=133287492 0.000090 127.0.0.1 -> 127.0.0.1 LDAP 118 bindRequest(1) "cn=admin,dc=ldapproxy,dc=local" simple 0.000102 127.0.0.1 -> 127.0.0.1 TCP 68 ldap > 50649 [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=51 Win=32768 Len=0 TSval=133287492 TSecr=133287492 0.000829 127.0.0.1 -> 127.0.0.1 LDAP 82 bindResponse(1) success 0.000856 127.0.0.1 -> 127.0.0.1 TCP 68 50649 > ldap [ACK] Seq=51 Ack=15 Win=32896 Len=0 TSval=133287493 TSecr=133287493 0.000909 127.0.0.1 -> 127.0.0.1 LDAP 158 searchRequest(2) "DC=ldapproxy,DC=local" wholeSubtree 0.001196 172.21.17.193 -> 10.10.10.10 TCP 76 58293 > ldap [SYN] Seq=0 Win=14600 Len=0 MSS=1460 SACK_PERM=1 TSval=133287493 TSecr=0 WS=128 0.040403 127.0.0.1 -> 127.0.0.1 TCP 68 ldap > 50649 [ACK] Seq=15 Ack=141 Win=32768 Len=0 TSval=133287503 TSecr=133287493 1.001055 172.21.17.193 -> 10.10.10.10 TCP 76 58293 > ldap [SYN] Seq=0 Win=14600 Len=0 MSS=1460 SACK_PERM=1 TSval=133287743 TSecr=0 WS=128 3.006852 172.21.17.193 -> 10.10.10.10 TCP 76 58293 > ldap [SYN] Seq=0 Win=14600 Len=0 MSS=1460 SACK_PERM=1 TSval=133288244 TSecr=0 WS=128 7.013361 172.21.17.193 -> 10.10.10.10 TCP 76 58293 > ldap [SYN] Seq=0 Win=14600 Len=0 MSS=1460 SACK_PERM=1 TSval=133289246 TSecr=0 WS=128 15.020550 172.21.17.193 -> 10.10.10.10 TCP 76 58293 > ldap [SYN] Seq=0 Win=14600 Len=0 MSS=1460 SACK_PERM=1 TSval=133291248 TSecr=0 WS=128 31.052492 172.21.17.193 -> 10.10.10.10 TCP 76 58293 > ldap [SYN] Seq=0 Win=14600 Len=0 MSS=1460 SACK_PERM=1 TSval=133295256 TSecr=0 WS=128 60.063874 172.21.17.193 -> 10.10.10.10 TCP 76 58295 > ldap [SYN] Seq=0 Win=14600 Len=0 MSS=1460 SACK_PERM=1 TSval=133302508 TSecr=0 WS=128 61.060500 172.21.17.193 -> 10.10.10.10 TCP 76 58295 > ldap [SYN] Seq=0 Win=14600 Len=0 MSS=1460 SACK_PERM=1 TSval=133302758 TSecr=0 WS=128 63.065447 172.21.17.193 -> 10.10.10.10 TCP 76 58295 > ldap [SYN] Seq=0 Win=14600 Len=0 MSS=1460 SACK_PERM=1 TSval=133303259 TSecr=0 WS=128

Syncrepl with subordinate databases

I have multiple sites that I am trying to sync up to a global server. Each site is configured (striped down) as: ############################################################################ # mdb database for o=chi01,ou=studios,dc=methodstudios,dc=net ############################################################################ database mdb suffix "o=chi01,ou=studios,dc=methodstudios,dc=net" # Save the time that the entry gets modified lastmod on # Subordinate of the ou=studios,dc=methodstudios,dc=net database below subordinate advertise overlay syncprov syncprov-reloadhint TRUE syncprov-checkpoint 100 5 ############################################################################ # mdb database for ou=studios,dc=methodstudios,dc=net ############################################################################ database mdb suffix "ou=studios,dc=methodstudios,dc=net" The above is my configuration for Chicago.
