Defining search depth for mod_ldap.
by Mangesh Sawant 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Hi, when searching a user mod_ldap returns only parent node attributes. Is there any setting so that search will return parent node attributes as well. LDAP URS is as follows: LdapUrl=ldap:// 172.16.100.237/ou=radiusUserProfile,dc=mtnl,dc=com?uid,userPassword,cn,sn? Here I could get back only uid,userPassword. cn and sn were blank, which are attributes of child nodes. -- Thanks And Regards , Mangesh Sawant .

understanding ldap
by Rodney Simioni 25 Jun '13

Please correct me if I am wrong. These questions are stemming from a Red Hat Linux Server. /etc/openldap/ldap.conf # this config file is openldap server's ldap config file? /etc/ldap.conf # This config file is for ldap's clients? If I want to test test if LDAP is configured with TLS/SSL with this command ldapsearch -d -1 -x -LLL -ZZ, do I need a ldap client config file?

etiquette when asking questions
by Brendan Kearney 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

i have several questions that i am looking for information on, but they are not all related to each other. is it proper etiquette to send a separate thread for each topic, or can one post a series of questions in one thread? my questions run the gambit from access, groups and ACLs to SASL+Kerberos, inheritance of structural object classes, and group types (groupOfNames vs posixAccount). thank you, brendan

OpenLDAP export in Oracle DB (10g) - not as backend
by Lukas Lehner 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

Hi I want an interface to OpenLDAP (with sudoers) to Oracle DB. I have no access to OpenLDAP server, but an LDAP admin user. The OpenLDAP data in Oracle DB should be relational, the same logic like in OpenLDAP. How is the easiest? Is there already finished scripts?

no-op search control, large result sets and abandon
by Michael Ströder 22 Jun '13

22 Jun '13

HI! In web2ldap I've implemented a feature some time ago which uses the no-op search control to determine the overall number of results when only displaying a partial result set. Obviously this does not scale well when interactively browsing into a container with many entries. So I'm considering whether to make this configurable (default off) or to make something automagically. My current working code sends a search no-op request with small timeout (5 sec), catches the error if the no-op search would take longer (Python exception ldap.TIMEOUT) and sends abandon request in this case. The idea is trying to determine the overall number of results only if it does not put too much burden on the server. But I wonder whether sending the abandon request really helps to reduce the server load: Does slapd immediately stop processing the no-op search request? Or does it generate the result set but not return it to the client? Ciao, Michael.

Hi Dan, I'm trying to add new schema with the command: * * *ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f qmail.ldif* and I'm getting the following error message: * * *ldap_add: Server is unwilling to perform (53) * *additional info: no global superior knowledge* how can I solve it? best regards, -- Bruno Furtado LinkedIn: http://linkd.in/brunofurtado

RE: Understanding PKI
by Dave Thompson 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

>From: owner-openssl-users(a)openssl.org On Behalf Of Rodney Simioni >Sent: Friday, 21 June, 2013 10:36 >I want to really understand certificates, pki, etc; so forgive me >if these questions are elementary. >Before creating a certificate, I need to generate the CSR on the >actual server where I am going to install the certificate? >(reason why I'm asking is because a wildcard csr was sent to me >and I don't know if I should use the wildcard csr or the one >generated on the server). It can vary depending on who does what, and whether you are doing only server-authentication or client-authentication as well, which is not common for SSL/TLS in general but I don't know for LDAP. Client-authentication is often called "client certificate", although this is loose wording because you actually need the cert *and key*. Similarly server-authentication is often called "server cerificate" but often it is left implicit since it is practically always there. (Formally there are non-authenticating "anonymous" suites in TLS, but they are rarely used and very rarely a good idea.) FWWIW http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/tls.html says "All servers are required to have valid certificates, whereas client certificates are optional. Clients must have a valid certificate in order to authenticate via SASL EXTERNAL." Optional could mean 95% but not 100%, or it could mean 2%. The canonical process is: - the "user" system that will be authenticated -- usually server, sometimes client -- generates a keypair and generates a CSR using that keypair (which includes the publickey part) - a CA uses the CSR to create a user cert (which copies the user publickey from the CSR and thus originally from the keypair); the cert is signed using the *CA* key-and-cert. This may be a "public" CA like Verisign or (in your case) GeoTrust, or it can be private, but see below - the user system uses its privatekey and its cert in SSL/TLS - each *peer* system -- all clients for a server usually -- must have the root cert of the CA in its truststore (which as described earlier can be a single file or a directory). For public CAs the roots are available both on the CA site and other places that can be used to confirm their correctness and legitimacy, like every copy of Windows (including IE) or Firefox or Java; private CA roots are generally only available from the CA, whom you must trust - if the CA uses an intermediate cert (or several) which in your case GeoTrust did, then the server *should* send the intermediate cert(s), and optionally the root, in the SSL/TLS handshake. How to do this varies, but in your case it appears openldap doesn't use openssl's option for a chainfile, so you must put the cert(s) in the truststore the server uses. For the rarer case of client authentication, s/server/client/. If someone else generates your key, they can give you the key and let you generate the CSR and request the cert; they can generate the keypair and CSR and let you request the cert; or they can generate the key and CSR and get the cert. In your case your "admin" gave you all three, implying the third choice. The third choice also includes the case where it's really their key; they created a key and CSR and got a cert and (then) decided to let you share their identity. Since this apparently is as you said a "company" cert (and key) it makes sense for you to share. >Once the CSR is created, a CA will use the CSR to create the certificate? Exactly. (The user cert, not the CA cert(s) which are different.) >A CA was sent to me, it's the company's CA (wildcard); if the above answer >is yes, do I use the CA, the private key, and CSR to create the certificate? You didn't get any CA, you got a user cert *issued by* (or from) GeoTrust. GeoTrust is the CA. If I remember (without searching) it is a cert *for* *.securesites.com which is a wildcard, so this cert can be used by any system whose DNSname matches that pattern. >A CSR will only work with the private key it was generated with? A CSR is generated from, and is for, a given keypair (private+public). A cert based on that CSR is for that publickey, and thus only works with that privatekey. Once you have the cert, you don't use the CSR for anything except possibly getting a new cert -- if you want a new cert for the same keypair and Subject name, and any extensions that are specified in the CSR and honored.

Part of the errorlog you posted before looks consistent with MozNSS, but part looks consistent with openssl to me, so I can't tell. I expect openldap has a way to tell you which it uses, but I don't know how. 'devel' packages probably matter only if you are re-building openldap; are you? If you are in fact using MozNSS, the same principles still apply as to which key and certficates you need where (server vs client), but the specifics of what file(s) you put them are entirely different, so ignore those parts of my instructions. <snip>

Assuming (as asked before) your opendlap is using openssl not MozillaNSS, to use a key&cert with an intermediate cert openssl requires either configuring a certchain file or putting the chain cert(s) in the truststore (even if the cert(s) or truststore aren't needed for verification). The manpage on http://linux.die.net/man/5/slapd-config does not indicate any option to configure a chain file; if that is true for the version you are using, use one of the above approaches with olcTLSCACertificateFile or Path .

I installed using : apt-get install slapd ldap-utils later, I used slapcat to insert data from a teste.ldif file. So, the problem: from local machine I used ldapsearch -D "cn=admin,dc=eb,dc=mil,dc=br" -w password -p 389 -h 10.67.123.146 -b "dc=eb,dc=mil,dc=br" -s sub "(objectclass=*)" and it works properly. But from a remote host: ldapsearch -D "cn=admin,dc=eb,dc=mil,dc=br" -w password -p 389 -h 10.67.123.146 -b "dc=eb,dc=mil,dc=br" -s sub "(objectclass=*)" returns: SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Invalid credentials (49) So, from a remote host, I had to add -x option: ldapsearch -x -D "cn=admin,dc=eb,dc=mil,dc=br" -w sped -p 389 -h 10.67.123.146 -b "dc=eb,dc=mil,dc=br" -s sub "(objectclass=*)" and it works again.
