Trouble getting ppolicy overlay to work
by D C 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

I'm really banging my head trying to get the ppolicy overlay to work properly. My only indication that I am partially on the right track is that if I set pwdSafeModify=TRUE in my default policy, then I get the following error from pam_ldap when changing my password. If I set it back to false, then I can change my password. LDAP password information update failed: Insufficient access Must supply old password to be changed as well as new one passwd: Authentication token manipulation error However, everything else in the policy is being ignored. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! * I am assuming that the password policy is going to be enforced by ldap, so testing with pam_ldap is not necessary at this point. I should be able to use any client such as apache directory studio to test password policy.

Remote access to the directory schema
by Rick van Rein (OpenFortress) 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Hello, Do I understand correctly, is the schema of a directory always accessible to its remote users? Because when I request | ldapsearch -x -h ldap.example.com -b dc=example,dc=com subschemaSubentry I get entries like | dn: dc=example,dc=com | subschemaSubentry: cn=Subschema | | dn: cn=someone,dc=example,dc=com | subschemaSubentry: cn=Subschema but when I then try things like | ldapsearch -x -h ldap.example.com -b dc=example,dc=com -E subentries=true cn=Subschema I get no results. How should this work? Do schema entries have to be explicitly enabled in the ACL as though they were normal entries, or is the schema always visible? Thanks, -Rick

How to improve performance with MDB backend?
by Saša-Stjepan Bakša 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Hi, Maybe this is not the best way to ask but I would like to get some performance expectations or maybe suggestions how to improve performance. I do have relatively long experience with OpenLDAP as a precompiled package and with much less users so performance was not an issue for those installations. Now I need to put few million users (now one million for test), custom tailored schema and search performance is crucial but also modify performance is big issue. Before MDB I have used HDB as backend. What to do to improve write part of performance or performance in general (when adding data – from time to time – OpenLDAP stalls in a way)? Just around 5 add/mod operations during that time then it continue with much higher speed. I have used many different sources to find out other peoples experience and I didn’t choose to write to list lightly but I really need some help/hints. As a hardware I am using two ProLiant DL360p Gen8 servers with: 48GB RAM, HP Smart Array P420i Controller, 2 x EG0600FBDSR 558 GB hard disk in RAID 1. 2 Ethernet ports are bonded to achieve redundancy and performance and connected to Cisco 3750 switch OS is Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS server with no unnecessary daemons installed. Disk is partitioned this way. Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 46G 1.4G 43G 4% / udev 24G 4.0K 24G 1% /dev tmpfs 9.5G 240K 9.5G 1% /run none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock none 24G 0 24G 0% /run/shm /dev/sda3 232G 32G 189G 15% /var /dev/sda4 230G 2.4G 216G 2% /opt OpenLDAP is latest one – 2.4.35 compiled on Ubuntu server with addition of Berkley db 5.3.21 (I am not using it but …) and no special switches are used during configuration except the on which puts installation to /opt/openldap directory. I am using also libhoard.so as a memory manager (latest one downloaded from HOARD web site). OpenLDAP is configured as MultiMaster N Way and I am using MDB as backend database.

Loosing existing entries when implementing syncrepl N-Way Multi-Master Replication (openldap-2.4.32)
by Joe Phan 07 Apr '13

07 Apr '13

Hi, I have some general questions related to syncrepl N-Way Multi-Master Replication (openldap-2.4.32 on Solaris 10). I already configured a LDAP server and added user entries to DIT. From a client machine, I am able to retrieve user entries via ldapsearch, and login using LDAP user entries is also successful. When I try to configure the LDAP server to be syncrepl N-Way Multi-Master Replication - Server1, existing entries in DIT are gone. From the client machine, ldapsearch command returns empty. - For existing entries in DIT, can we keep them when implementing syncrepl N-Way Multi-Master Replication or we must create them again from the beginning? Regards, Joe

And now it seems to be working, so thanks for that. I'm not sure I understand why it's necessary, though. The client service (Apache) just needs to find out if a particular uid exists. Why does it need access to the whole entry?

Anonymous Bind ACL Problems
by Dark Morford 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

I'm setting up my first LDAP server; just using it as an auth provider for Apache until I'm more comfortable with things. I was able to get it up and running with a few user entries, but I can't get anonymous searching to work the way I want. It's configured (cn=config) style, and the ACLs are: {0}to attrs=uid by anonymous read by users read {1}to attrs=userPassword by anonymous auth by self write {2}to * by users read Searching for a user as the rootDN works fine: shawn@aquamarine:~$ ldapsearch -x -D 'cn=Manager,dc=darkmorford,dc=net' -W -b 'dc=darkmorford,dc=net' '(uid=smorford)' uid Enter LDAP Password: # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=darkmorford,dc=net> with scope subtree # filter: (uid=smorford) # requesting: uid # # smorford, Users, darkmorford.net dn: uid=smorford,ou=Users,dc=darkmorford,dc=net uid: smorford # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 But doing the same search anonymously can't find the user: shawn@aquamarine:~$ ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=darkmorford,dc=net' '(uid=smorford)' uid # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=darkmorford,dc=net> with scope subtree # filter: (uid=smorford) # requesting: uid # # search result search: 2 result: 32 No such object # numResponses: 1 I have to assume that something in the ACL is blocking the anonymous search. How do I fix this?

Replication using cn=config
by Andre Rodier 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Hello Everyone, I am trying to implement mirorring replication on OpenLDAP on debian wheezy, and I am struggling since a few days. All the documentation I have found so far on the web site is related to OpenLDAP with a configuration file (slapd.conf) Can anyone gives me a clue on how I can adapt the examples given on the web site to the database configuration backend (cn=config). Thanks for your help. André Rodier.
