How to change a schema attribute definition or how to change the slapd configuration?
by Philip Colmer 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

I'm using OpenLDAP on Ubuntu 12.04. The installation of OpenLDAP automatically installs the schemas for core, cosine, nis and inetorgperson. In the nis schema, posixGroup is defined as structural but I need it to be auxiliary. Is it possible to change that definition? My database is completely empty - I've literally uninstalled OpenLDAP and then reinstalled it in an attempt to try and find a clean way of solving my problem. Alternatively - and perhaps better since I'm a bit worried about changing *just* that one thing - is it possible for me to export the slapd configuration in a way that I can then edit the configuration to replace nis with rfc2037bis and create everything afresh? Unfortunately, because the installation on Ubuntu does all of the slapd configuration automatically, I don't know what parameters are being specified. Many thanks for any help or suggestions provided. Philip

Hi all, I myself is struggling to configure and starting up the openldap server (v 2.4.33). Every time I started the server *service slapd start* I'm getting this error - and it never starts check-config.sh[3003]: Configuration directory '/etc/openldap/slapd.d' does not exist. check-config.sh[3003]: Warning: Usage of a configuration file is obsolete! runuser[3006]: pam_unix(runuser:session): session opened for user ldap by (uid=0) runuser[3006]: pam_unix(runuser:session): session closed for user ldap slapd[3019]: @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.33 (Oct 31 2012 12:02:13) $ slapd[3021]: bdb_monitor_db_open: monitoring disabled; configure monitor database to enable slapd[3021]: slapd starting slapd[3021]: daemon: shutdown requested and initiated. slapd[3021]: slapd shutdown: waiting for 0 operations/tasks to finish slapd[3021]: slapd stopped.

syncrepl mirrormode with SSL/TLS issues
by Houston Ray 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

I am attempting to move my sycrepl with mirrormode configuration over to TLS using LDAPS (not starttls) and running into problems. Multimaster setup (2 servers) behind a VIP both RHEL 6.3 Openldap 2.4.23-26 still running the old slapd.conf method (apologies) There are 3 separate certificates ldap.mycompany.net, server01.mycompany.net, and server02.mycompany.net The primary certificate is used for running slapd, and the individual server certs are intended to allow syncrepl over ssl. My configurations for syncrepl/mirrormode are down below. I had success with non-ssl syncrepl/mirrormode. It worked great actually. Now I am attempting to get syncrepl/mirrormode working with SSL. What I observe is whichever slapd instance is the last to startup is the one that becomes a "Master" as if I was in a producer/consumer setup. Errors I am seeing are slapd[11995]: conn=1003 fd=13 ACCEPT from IP=<server1_IP>:56368 (IP= 0.0.0.0:636) slapd[11995]: connection_read(13): TLS accept failure error=-1 id=1003, closing slapd[11485]: slap_client_connect: URI=ldaps://server01.mycompany.netDN="cn=Admin,dc=mycompany,dc=net" ldap_sasl_bind_s failed (-1) slapd[11485]: do_syncrepl: rid=001 rc -1 retrying Server 1 configuration ************************* # Server1 synchronization settings serverID 1 syncrepl rid=002 provider=ldaps://server02.mycompany.net binddn="cn=Admin,dc=mycompany,dc=net" bindmethod=simple credentials=secret tls_cert=/etc/openldap/certs/server02.mycompany.net.pem tls_cacert=/etc/openldap/certs/Verisignbundle.crt tls_key=/etc/openldap/certs/server02.mycompany.net.key tls_reqcert=allow searchbase="dc=mycompany,dc=net" type=refreshAndPersist retry="5 5 300 +" timelimit=5 attrs="*,+" interval=00:00:05:00 schemachecking=off mirrormode on # Server1 synchronization overlay overlay syncprov syncprov-checkpoint 100 10 syncprov-sessionlog 100 # Server1 end ************************************************************************************************** Server 2 configuration ********************************* # Server2 syncronization settings serverID 2 syncrepl rid=001 provider=ldaps://server01.mycompany.net binddn="cn=Admin,dc=mycompany,dc=net" bindmethod=simple credentials=secret tls_cert=/etc/openldap/certs/server01.mycompany.net.pem tls_cacert=/etc/openldap/certs/Verisignbundle.crt tls_key=/etc/openldap/certs/server01.mycompany.net.key tls_reqcert=allow searchbase="dc=mycompany,dc=net" type=refreshAndPersist retry="5 5 300 +" timelimit=5 attrs="*,+" interval=00:00:05:00 schemachecking=off mirrormode on # Server02 synchronization overlay overlay syncprov syncprov-checkpoint 100 10 # Server2 end ************************************************************************************************** any help is greatly appreciated

Get machines in Base LDAP
by rodrigo tavares 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hello, I have in my smb.conf, the follow line is: add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false -d /var/lib/nobody %u So, with the line machines get logon in domain, but machines come to /etc/passwd. I would like add all machines in LDAP, how I can to do it ? ldap admin dn = cn=admin,dc=brazil,dc=mg,dc=gov,dc=br ldap group suffix = ou=groups ldap machine suffix = ou=computers ldap passwd sync = yes ldap suffix = dc=brazil,dc=mg,dc=gov,dc=br ldap ssl = no ldap user suffix = ou=defensoria passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://10.65.8.250 passdb backend = tdbsam hosts allow = 127.0.0.1, 10.65.8.0/255.255.252.0

slapd-ldap and backend errors
by John Madden 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

While setting up and testing new 2.4 infra (2.4.33), I've come across the situation where the proxy (slapd-ldap) doesn't pass LDAP_UNAVAILABLE back to the client when the backend slapd goes away. Is this behavior configurable on the proxy, something along the lines of chain-return-error? Example: connect to the backend slapd and ldapsearch a long-running query, then shut down slapd and the client provides the proper "error can't contact." Duplicate that behavior while searching against the proxy and you simply get a truncated list of entries with no errors.

access directive

Hi folks, i have just installed openldap and i am having trouble to understand access directive: I have 6 access rules : ################################################################################ # access definition on ou=people,dc=ufv,dc=br ################################################################################ access to dn.one="ou=people,dc=ufv,dc=br" attrs=userPassword by self read by dn.base="cn=mail,ou=appsrv,dc=ufv,dc=br" read by anonymous auth by * none access to dn.one="ou=people,dc=ufv,dc=br" attrs=uid,homeDirectory by self read by dn.base="cn=mail,ou=appsrv,dc=ufv,dc=br" read by dn.base="cn=ypldap,ou=appsrv,dc=ufv,dc=br" read access to dn.one="ou=people,dc=ufv,dc=br" attrs=cn,uidNumber,gidNumber,loginShell,gecos,description by self read by dn.base="cn=ypldap,ou=appsrv,dc=ufv,dc=br" read access to dn.one="ou=people,dc=ufv,dc=br" attrs=mail,mailMessageStore,mailAlternateAddress,qmailUID,qmailGID,mailHost,mailForwardingAddress,deliveryProgramPath,qmailDotMode,deliveryMode,mailReplyText,accountStatus,qmailAccountPurge,mailQuotaSize,mailQuotaCount,mailSizeMax by self read by dn.base="cn=mail,ou=appsrv,dc=ufv,dc=br" read access to dn.one="ou=people,dc=ufv,dc=br" by self read by dn.base="cn=ypldap,ou=appsrv,dc=ufv,dc=br" read by dn.base="cn=mail,ou=appsrv,dc=ufv,dc=br" read access to dn.base="ou=people,dc=ufv,dc=br" by dn.base="cn=ypldap,ou=appsrv,dc=ufv,dc=br" read by dn.base="cn=mail,ou=appsrv,dc=ufv,dc=br" read I have some rules, as you can see, giving acess to certain attributes of anything below (one level) ou=people,dc=ufv,dc=br. I have another rule given access to everything on the same level, this is the rule 5th. Everything works ok, for instance: sioux@gustav$ ldapsearch -b uid=sioux,ou=people,dc=ufv,dc=br homedirectory SASL/GSSAPI authentication started SASL username: sioux(a)UFV.BR SASL SSF: 56 SASL data security layer installed. # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <uid=sioux,ou=people,dc=ufv,dc=br> with scope subtree # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: homedirectory # # sioux, people, ufv.br dn: uid=sioux,ou=people,dc=ufv,dc=br homeDirectory: /home/sioux # search result search: 5 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 sioux@gustav$ But if i comment the 5th rule (I keep the others, giving access to the homedirectory attribute), it does not work: sioux@gustav$ ldapsearch -b uid=sioux,ou=people,dc=ufv,dc=br homedirectory SASL/GSSAPI authentication started SASL username: sioux(a)UFV.BR SASL SSF: 56 SASL data security layer installed. # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <uid=sioux,ou=people,dc=ufv,dc=br> with scope subtree # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: homedirectory # # search result search: 5 result: 32 No such object # numResponses: 1 sioux@gustav$ Does anybody here know why ? Thanks in advance.

I did a "du -c -h data.mdb" on each of the four. Superman is listed at 1.4GB, while the other 3 are at 185MB. Not quite sure why that one is so much bigger. Thanks in advance.
