openldap-2.4.32 su-ok, rlogin-fails
by Joe Phan 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hi, I configured a machine to be LDAP Server (openldap-2.4.32) on Solaris 10. Adding users/groups to LDAP Server seems to be ok. From a second machine, I configured it to be LDAP Client using command "ldapclient manual -v -a defaultsearchbase=dc=pg,dc=dtveng,dc=net -a domainname=pg.dtveng.net 10.26.82.16". It was successful. /var/ldap/ldap_client_file contains appropriate LDAP Server information. Openldap-2.4.32 is not installed on the Client Machine. I updated PAM configuration on Client Machine for su and rlogin, results are listed below: - rlogin into Client Machine using root - OK - rlogin into Client Machine using "jphan" user - Fails - After login to Client Machine as root, su from root to "jphan" user - OK (Note: jphan user does not exist in Client Machine /etc/passwd, jphan user exists in LDAP Server) - From "jphan" user, su to another user - Fails Could someone please take a look at the configuration for rlogin PAM below to see if the configuration is correct. Please let me know if there is anything missing from my setup. Do I need to configure pam.conf on LDAP Server machine as well? Any help is greatly appreciated.

ldap, kerberos and authorization by group membership
by brendan kearney 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

all, please excuse my ignorance, as i am still learning. i have started working with mit kerberos 5 and openldap. i have the krb5 database in ldap, have several principals created, can can authenticate using kerberos. what i would like to accomplish is authorization based on group membership. i am unclear on how to do this, and if this requires the use of SASL (via the cyrus-sasl packages). am i able to create a groupofnames object, populated with kerberos principals and accomplish authorization by checking for membership of that groupofnames? the scenario is mod_auth_kerb implemented in httpd, or access control via acl in squid. based on group membership, certain functionality or access would be given to authenticated users. i have read and re-read the guide included with openldap, but am still unclear about what is needed. Below is some info about versions, etc... thank you in advance for any guidance. OS: Fedora: 16 x86_64 OpenLDAP: 2.4.26-8 MIT Kerberos: 1.9.4-3 Cyrus SASL: 2.1.23-27 thank you, brendan

Re: provider/consumer: entries have identical CSN
by Walter Werner 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

hi everyone ok, i think i found it :-). It is the sizelimit parameter on the provider. 'The olcSizeLimit/sizelimit attribute/directive specifies the number of entries to return to a search request' Due to the website http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch6/ It says that 'If no sizelimit directive is defined the default is 500.' No wonder that i had always 500 results with ldapsearch -x, despite the fact, that i deleted some entries.

Problems with authentication against OpenlDAP
by francesco.policastro＠selex-es.com 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Hi all, I have two OpenLDAP servers (2.4.34) used by some applications to authenticate. Both servers use the meta backend, that is the frontend to two AD domains in separate forests. Ldapsearch correctly finds the users in both servers, while authentication works for one only. I must say that I had to exclude some portions of the trees in order to avoid duplicate names. My "correct" users are in 15 subtrees. In the working server I configured 15 URI's, one for each subtree, specifying for each of them the credentials, the attribute mappings and the suffixmassage. The bad news is that slapd.conf is 580 lines and its maintenance is error prone. That's why I configured the second server with two URI's only and with ACL's to limit the access to the 15 subtrees only. The resulting slapd.conf is much more readable and easy to maintain, but it does not work. The ACL's are all of this type: access to dn.subtree="ou=Users,ou=MySite,dc=FirstSubdomain,dc=Company,dc=com" read by dn.exact="cn=LdapSnooper,ou=people,dc=ExtraDomain,dc=com" read There are no other ACL's, but I already tried adding something like "access to * by * read" with no success. As said before ldapsearch works fine, while authentication does not. Please look at the excerpt from the log files, for both servers, when I try to authenticate. Both servers start the same sequence, but one stops just after reading the same search result. conn=1033 fd=10 ACCEPT from IP=10.31.222.106:38492 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) conn=1033 op=0 BIND dn="cn=LdapSnooper,ou=people,dc=ExtraDomain,dc=com" method=128 conn=1033 op=0 BIND dn="cn=LdapSnooper,ou=people,dc=ExtraDomain,dc=com" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 conn=1033 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= conn=1033 op=1 SRCH base="dc=Company,dc=com" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(sAMAccountName=policastro)" conn=1033 op=1 SRCH attr=sAMAccountName conn=1033 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=1 text= conn=1033 op=2 UNBIND conn=1033 fd=10 closed =========================== conn=4960 fd=373 ACCEPT from IP=10.31.221.162:40893 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) conn=4960 op=0 BIND dn="cn=LdapSnooper,ou=people,dc=ExtraDomain,dc=com" method=128 conn=4960 op=0 BIND dn="cn=LdapSnooper,ou=people,dc=ExtraDomain,dc=com" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 conn=4960 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= conn=4960 op=1 SRCH base="dc=Company,dc=com" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(sAMAccountName=policastro)" conn=4960 op=1 SRCH attr=sAMAccountName conn=4960 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=1 text= conn=4960 op=2 BIND anonymous mech=implicit ssf=0 conn=4960 op=2 BIND dn="cn=Policastro Francesco,ou=Users,ou=MySite,dc=FirstSubdomain,dc=Company,dc=com" method=128 conn=4960 op=2 BIND dn="cn=Policastro Francesco,ou=Users,ou=MySite,dc=FirstSubdomain,dc=Company,dc=com" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 conn=4960 op=2 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= conn=4960 op=3 UNBIND conn=4960 fd=373 closed conn=4961 fd=373 ACCEPT from IP=10.31.221.162:40894 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) conn=4961 op=0 BIND dn="cn=LdapSnooper,ou=people,dc=ExtraDomain,dc=com" method=128 conn=4961 op=0 BIND dn="cn=LdapSnooper,ou=people,dc=ExtraDomain,dc=com" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 conn=4961 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= conn=4961 op=1 SRCH base="dc=Company,dc=com" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(&(!(?employeeID=-*))(employeeID=*)(mail=*)(givenName=*)(sn=*)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))(sAMAccountName=policastro))" conn=4961 op=1 SRCH attr=sAMAccountName conn=4961 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=1 text= conn=4961 op=2 SRCH base="cn=Policastro Francesco,ou=Users,ou=MySite,dc=FirstSubdomain,dc=Company,dc=com" scope=0 deref=0 filter="(&(!(?employeeID=-*))(employeeID=*)(mail=*)(givenName=*)(sn=*)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))" conn=4961 op=2 SRCH attr=givenName sn mail employeeID sAMAccountName conn=4961 op=2 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=1 text= conn=4961 op=3 UNBIND conn=4961 fd=373 closed conn=4962 fd=373 ACCEPT from IP=10.31.221.162:40895 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) conn=4962 op=0 BIND dn="cn=LdapSnooper,ou=people,dc=ExtraDomain,dc=com" method=128 conn=4962 op=0 BIND dn="cn=LdapSnooper,ou=people,dc=ExtraDomain,dc=com" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 conn=4962 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= conn=4962 op=1 SRCH base="dc=Company,dc=com" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(sAMAccountName=policastro)" conn=4962 op=1 SRCH attr=sAMAccountName conn=4962 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=1 text= conn=4962 op=2 SRCH base="cn=Policastro Francesco,ou=Users,ou=MySite,dc=FirstSubdomain,dc=Company,dc=com" scope=0 deref=0 filter="(objectClass=*)" conn=4962 op=2 SRCH attr=shadowExpire conn=4962 op=2 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=1 text= conn=4962 op=3 UNBIND Can anyone explain me what happens and how to let the ACL version work?

LMDB - growing the database
by Shmulik Regev 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

Hi, I understand that the DB size has an upper limit set by the call to mdb_env_set_mapsize . I wonder what is the best strategy for growing the size. From what I read, the put operations of either txn or cursor may fail with the MDB_MAP_FULL error but then it is too late to change the DB size. On the other hand I didn't find in mdb_env_stat (or perhaps I didn't understand) any information suggesting how full is the DB so I can't really implement any strategy for preemptively growing the DB based on the used space. Did I miss anything? Cheers, Shmul

Multiple uid's?
by R V 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

Is there a alias entry that can be used for authentication? Basically I am looking for away to allow a user record to have multiple uid's. Example: uid johnsmith uid jsmith Trying to bring multiple services under one authentication method. The challenging part, some services have varying usernames as list above. Which unfortunately can not be changed. Thanks RV

Encryption or hash for password?
by Gerhardus Geldenhuis 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

Hi I am using the default Ubuntu 12.10 openldap installation and have inherited an existing ldap setup. When I do a slapcat -n 1 It shows userPassword entries as follows: userPassword:: e2NyeFB0fSQxJEkwKGc3bGJjJFpwL3JndlpCZDBlSPZuZGdoMFczTC8= ( password string has been edited... ) I am not sure how this is encoded... is there a way to find out? I have tried md5 which is currently the default encoding for our servers. I have also tried slappasswd with various -h option to see if I can recreate the same hash if it is a hash. I want to add new users using ldif and would like to encrypt/hash their passwords in a similar fashion if possible. Any help would be appreciated. Regards -- Gerhardus Geldenhuis
