DB config and log files
by jeevan kc 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

Hello thereMy DB_CONFIG looks like this set_cachesize 0 716800 0set_lg_bsize 2097512set_lg_dir /usr/local/var/openldap-logsset_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE Recently , we have few batch processes running in the LDAP server for Datawarehouse groups and other apps and this is causing DB logs to grow . When I do a ls -l the size of the logs are almost 4GB in size. This is causing trouble and we don't want this many logs. How do I limit the log size so that it doesn't exceed lets say 1 GB . These DB logs are of very little importance to us. We periodically do a backup using slapcat and we can use this in case we have a fatal crash .Please throw some light on how to limit these DB logs . Thanks Jeevan

MAC and Network Asset Inventory on LDAP
by Nick Milas 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

Hello, We are planning on using FreeRadius for MAC-auth based on MAC addresses (to be) stored on our OpenLDAP (in parallel to 802.1x using our ldap-stored users). With that opportunity we would be aiming at starting a comprehensive network asset inventory. So, I would like to ask people to share their experience regarding storing MAC addresses and other device info on LDAP. If using LDAP for device inventory, are you simply using device and ieee802Device object classes (in core.schema and nis.schema respectively), or you would suggest a more specialized/extensive schema to be used instead or additionally (auxiliary object class(es))? Which? An example method (found with some googling): http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/science/rpn/biblio/ddj/Website/articles/S… Of course, one could try to re-invent the wheel (custom schema, custom apps), but I am sure there should be some well designed schema(s) around for this purpose. I think that it would also make sense, if possible, to be able to use a storage format that can be leveraged by other open-source network assets management software (like ocsinventory-ng or openipam, which however use SQL backends). Any experiences/suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Nick

Linux quota problem for LDAP users
by Osman ÜNALAN (ULAKBİM) 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

Hi, I'm trying to set quotas for LDAP users on a Linux server. But all the users' name begins with number and when I try to set quota for a user like "123456" it sets a quota for "#123456" I set quota like this: setquota -u 123456 1500 1500 0 0 -a repquota output is like: user used soft hard grace used soft hard grace 123456 -- 500 0 0 100 0 0 # 123456 -- 0 1500 1500 0 0 0 That's why the quota I set applies to non existing user named #123456. Does anyone know how can I fix that? Thanks, Osman Ünalan

developing module that instantiates check_password() function
by Scott Koranda 10 Aug '13

10 Aug '13

Hello, I wish to develop a user-defined loadable module that instantiates the check_password() function as described in the slapo-ppolicy man page. The man page specifies the function prototype as int check_password (char *pPasswd, char **ppErrStr, Entry *pEntry); In which header file is the 'Entry' type defined? Thanks, Scott

Hi, On Thu, 8 Aug 2013, espeake(a)oreillyauto.com wrote: > Christian, > > The olcServerID goes in the cn=config file correct? I will do a ldapmodify to change this. yes. use the following: dn: olcDatabase={0}config changetype: modify replace: olcServerID olcServerID: 1 ldap://tntest-ldap-master-1.oreillyauto.com olcServerID: 2 ldap://tntest-ldap-master-2.oreillyauto.com > The consumer config is what was on there and that's why I asked the question about wiping it out and then using slapcat to put it back in. slapcat NEVER shows the checksums and protecting comments that you only see when you go looking at the files under slapd.d # AUTO-GENERATED FILE - DO NOT EDIT!! Use ldapmodify. # CRC32 3411e7fc Once you have the correct configuration on one server dump it with slapcat -n0 and import it to the second server using slapadd -n0. Be sure to wipe ALL of the contents in the slapd.d directory before importing with slapadd. ps: please keep the mailinglist on the Cc: so what we learn from this is for the greater good.
