N-WAY replication cn=config and virtual IP
by Lanfeust troy 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Hi all, today i have a little problem with openldap configuration. I have 2 server configured as N-WAY replication on database and cn=config. into cn=config we have olcServerId: 1 ldap://ldap-int1.domaine.fr olcServerId: 2 ldap://ldap-int2.domaine.fr replication is working. However to provide service to client we want to use a Virtual IP adresse. ( ldap-int-vip.domaine.fr ) On two server i have installed keepalived demon to manage Virtual IP. On nominal time the VIP is owned by ldap-int1 but she can going on ldap-int2 My problem is the slapd binary which don't want to start on secondary server I want to start slapd demon on all interface but if we use ldap://* in command line to start slapd he say: read_config: no serverID / URL match found. Check slapd -h arguments. How to make this configuration ? thanks

Setting Authentication & Access for ldap backend
by Chris Chipman 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

I have three servers running openldap 2.4. On superior server I have all account information. ldap://a.example.com On subordinate server I have an address book. ldap://b.example.com On third server I use an ldap backend to tie the two together. ldap://c.example.com Using 3rd server (ldap://c.example.com) to search and modify, I can authenticate on 1st server (a.example.com). But because no user account information is stored on 2nd server (b.example.com) I can't authenticate, or modify any entries there. My question is, how do I set up the ability to change entries in the subordinate database, if no entries can be bound to? Server One: olcSuffix: dc=example,dc=com olcDatabase: {1}hdb olcDBDirectory: /var/lib/ldap With an entry like so: dn: ou=address,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: extensibleobject objectClass: referral ou: address ref: ldap://b.example.com Server 2: olcReferral: ldap://a.example.com olcSuffix: ou=address,dc=example,dc=com olcDatabase: {1}hdb olcDBDirectory: /var/lib/ldap With an entry: dn: cn=Bob,ou=address,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: inetorgperson cn: Bob gn: Bob sn: Smith Server 3: olcSuffix: dc=example,dc=com olcDatabase: {1}ldap olcDBUri: ldap://a.example.com olcDBRebindAsUser: TRUE olcDBChaseReferrals: TRUE

OpenLDAP slave-master synchronization problem
by Tian Zhiying 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello， I have two openldap servers, and have configured the master-slave synchronization, but have a problem: When an entry in master server is changed it is automatically changed in the slave server. But, when an entry in slave server is changed it is not automatically changed in the master server. In the slave server slapd.conf config file, I've set up “updateref ldap://192.168.100.11:389“ , the 192.168.100.11 is my master server. The following is my configuration. Master Configuration: allow bind_v2 pidfile /var/run/openldap/slapd.pid argsfile /var/run/openldap/slapd.args access to * by * write database bdb suffix "dc=domain,dc=com" rootdn "cn=root,dc=domain,dc=com" overlay ppolicy rootpw {SSHA}DyNIn6rweGRnQP0ntGaZxynMllSA3/w4 directory /var/lib/ldap index objectClass eq,pres index ou,cn,mail,surname,givenname eq,pres,sub index uidNumber,gidNumber,loginShell eq,pres index uid,memberUid eq,pres,sub index nisMapName,nisMapEntry eq,pres,sub replogfile /var/lib/ldap/openldap-master-replog loglevel 4095 replica host=192.168.70.15:389 binddn="cn=sa,dc=domain,dc=com" bindmethod=simple credentials=miao3p Slave Configuration: allow bind_v2 pidfile /var/run/openldap/slapd.pid argsfile /var/run/openldap/slapd.args access to * by * write database bdb suffix "dc=domain,dc=com" rootdn "cn=root,dc=domain,dc=com" overlay ppolicy rootpw {SSHA}sgBwprgmRciOEGTLjE5K9J22msm+U9NW directory /var/lib/ldap index objectClass eq,pres index ou,cn,mail,surname,givenname eq,pres,sub index uidNumber,gidNumber,loginShell eq,pres index uid,memberUid eq,pres,sub index nisMapName,nisMapEntry eq,pres,sub updatedn "cn=sa,dc=domain,dc=com" updateref ldap://192.168.100.11:389 Any ideas?

Is there any way to change structuralObjectClass of an LDAP entry?
by Marco Pizzoli 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hi all, yes, I already know this is not possible. But I have a particular scenario and maybe someone could give advice. In an LDAP tree I inherited some times ago, I have entries created many years ago by using a schema definition which implied an entry to acquire as structuralObjectClass a custom objectClass. This custom objectClass (let's say it's called custObjectClass) inherits from inetOrgPerson and mandates some specific attributes. Now, all entries are created expliciting the following objectClasses: - top - person - organizationalPerson - inetOrgPerson - custObjectClass The outcome is these entries have custObjectClass as structuralObjectClass. Now, I would like to make some cleaning on this tree, and I would like to change some schema definition on objects. First of all, I would like to NOT have custObjectClass as structuralObjectClass. Obviously I could slapcat my slapd engine, change the ldif and then re-import as new. But I would prefer to not switch off my slapd engine in the meantime. I can't afford that, to be honest... One idea I had was to create a replica consumer, change on it the schema definition (custObjectClass inheriting from TOP and being auxiliary instead of structural), and let the replication create the entries with the correct "structurality". I self-discovered this way is not viable, considering OL refuses to insert an entry with source structuralObjectClass not being defined structural on the slave as well. Now I'm asking for help to the community. Any hint welcome. How would you do? Thanks in advance Marco

additional info: objectClasses: value #0 invalid per syntax
by Jimmy Royer 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hello, I am starting out with openldap and I don't know it that much. I got the error mentioned in the title when trying to add an object class, which is apparently a very common one per my google searches. I've read that common causes are: * extraneous white space (especially trailing white space) * improperly encoded characters (LDAPv3 uses UTF-8 encoded Unicode) * empty values (few syntaxes allow empty values) This is the object class file I am trying to add, I picked it as an example on some website, to have something minimal and make it easier to test: # cat exObjectClasses.ldif dn: cn=schema changetype: modify add: objectClasses objectClasses: ( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.2.2.9 NAME 'blogger' DESC 'Someone who has a blog' SUP inetOrgPerson STRUCTURAL MAY blog ) I've checked if there was any trailing spaces at the end with the following: # cat -vte exObjectClasses.ldif dn: cn=schema$ changetype: modify$ add: objectClasses$ objectClasses: ( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.2.2.9$ NAME 'blogger'$ DESC 'Someone who has a blog'$ SUP inetOrgPerson STRUCTURAL$ MAY blog )$ I've made sure the file is UTF-8: # iconv -f ASCII -t UTF-8 exObjectClasses.ldif > exObjectClasses.ldif.utf8 And I don't think there are any empty values defined in the LDIF file. So when I type this command, I still have the "invalid per syntax error: # ldapmodify -x -W -H "ldaps://127.0.0.1" -D cn=Manager,dc=modelsolv,dc=com -f exObjectClasses.ldif Enter LDAP Password: modifying entry "cn=schema" ldap_modify: Invalid syntax (21) additional info: objectClasses: value #0 invalid per syntax This is the content of the /etc/openldap/slapd.conf file: # cat slapd.conf # # See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options. # This file should NOT be world readable. # include /etc/openldap/schema/corba.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/duaconf.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/dyngroup.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/java.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/misc.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/openldap.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/ppolicy.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/collective.schema # Allow LDAPv2 client connections.

So I know I am able to reach the server, the connection is fine, and LDAP is somewhat functional. But I can't modify the schema with objectclasses. Is there anything obvious that I am doing wrong? Do you have any recommendation for debugging further? Regards, Jimmy Royer

Limit on number of attrs in replica conf?
by Marco Pizzoli 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hi all, Is it possible I discovered a limit on the number of attributes I can specify on the "attrs" parameter of the replica directive in slapd.conf? In my config file, for the replica directive, I explicited a long list of attributes. On the provider side I can see, on the provider slapd logs, that only 8 of the attrs I specified on the replica directive are actually asked. Plus objectClass, structuralObjectClass and entryCSN. Is that the expected behaviour? I already checked on the man page and I don't see this limitation explicited Thanks in advance Marco

internal_modify in overlays
by Tim Watts 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hi, Does anyone know of a bit of code I can look at that does an *internal* (completed inline) LDAP_MOD_REPLACE operation on one attribute without chaining (ie it does a return 0)? I've found Sun docs for doing this in a slapi plugin but not an openldap slapd plugin. Reason: Basically, I've been hacking on smbkrb5pwd.c and discovered if I do a "return 0;" at the end, I can prevent chaining (not documented but found some openldap hacking - denyop.c - that demonstrated this). At this point, smbkrb5pwd.c has changed our MIT Kerberos principal's password, and "return 0" prevenrs_modsts slapd from chaining onto the code that tries to set a local hash into userPassword. And it does it without causing a nasty client error. I thought: would it not be nice to set userPassword: to {SASL}UID(a)KERB.REALM now... Each user's auth method gets switched upon the first successful password change that propagates to kerberos. However, all the existing overlays seem to set extra attributes by setting up a request in ->rs_mods off the original request. I assume these get actioned after a "return SLAP_CB_CONTINUE". So - how do set an attribute if we are halting the chain at our overlay?

Re: meta backend subtree directive ignored by conversion to cn=config
by francesco.policastro＠selex-es.com 27 Feb '13

27 Feb '13

I see. So I need to look at ACL, because my real meta configuration contains two trees coming from different forests, sharing nothing. It's the result of a merge of two companies, each with its AD, and I use OpenLDAP to authenticate users against a single meta domain, after a long job to rename many users who just shared the only object I did not want, i.e. the sAMAccountNname. Thanks, Francesco
