Invalid Credentials when using ldappasswd
by Matej Mailing 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

Hi all, I have installed open LDAP utilities on Ubuntu 12.04 via apt-get install. I have version 2.4.28-1.1ubuntu4 installed. I can connect successully to the LDAP via phpldapadmin with login cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=net and my administrator password. I want to create an administrator for the SOGo login with the following ldif file: "dn: ou=accounts,dc=domain,dc=net objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: accounts dn: uid=adminsogo,ou=accounts,dc=domain,dc=net objectClass: top objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson uid: adminsogo cn: SOGo Administrator mail: sogo(a)domain.net sn: Administrator givenName: SOGAdmin " When running ldapadd -f admin.ldif -x -W -D cn=admin,dc=domain,dc=net and after entering the administrator password (the same I use to log-in into phpldapadmin), I get: "adding new entry "ou=accounts,dc=domain,dc=net" adding new entry "uid=sogadmin,ou=accounts,dc=domain,dc=net" I assume that everything is OK at this point. The problem is when I enter: ldappasswd -h localhost -x -W -D cn=admin,dc=domain,dc=net,uid=sogadmin,ou=accounts,dc=domain,dc=net -s newpass I have to enter the LDAP password and I enter my administrator password, but always get the output: "ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)" When doing "dapsearch -x -h localhost -b "dc=domain,dc=net" -s sub "objectclass=*"" I can see that an object sogadmin is created: "..... dn: uid=adminsogo,ou=accounts,dc=domain,dc=net objectClass: top objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson uid: adminsogo cn: SOGo Administrator mail: sogo(a)domain.net sn: Administrator givenName:: U09HQWRtaW4g ..." What should I check to get past this "ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)" when trying to ldappasswd of a new user? I am pretty sure this must be some basic thing, but I am really a beginner in the LDAP field .. I have spent few days already trying to solve this and any help will be very appreciated. Thanks for any ideas in advance. Regards, Matej

slapd: way of configuration
by Tobias Hachmer 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

Hello list, I want to know what the recommended way is to configure slapd. I'm using openldap package 2.4.28 under ubuntu precise. As default there is no /etc/ldap/slapd.conf and the whole configuration is located under /etc/ldap/slapd.d/ in ldif format. 1. Must I use ldapmodify to change slapd configuration in cn=config backend or can I just change configuration directives directly in the appropriate ldif file under /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/* ? If the latter, have I to restart slapd after configuration changes? 2. Will the old school way to configure slapd via slapd.conf be deprecated and not available at all in future? Thanks and kind regards, Tobias Hachmer

Mac Ldap Client login problem
by cbulist 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

Hi, I'm trying to configure a Mac client(OS X 10.7.2) with my Openldap server (2.4.23). I configured Directory Utility with my LDAPv3 support and see that Network Account Server on green status. After that I can do: su <username> or id <username> in terminal and I'm able to login or view the data of the user. The problem is when I reset the Mac and I try to login from the initial GUI login screen it does not permit me. I checked the openldap server log and I see the requested without any error. Do I have to do something in Mac's PAM file? I really appreciate any help with this problem. Thanks in advance.

Logging events to a log file
by Mik J 23 Sep '12

23 Sep '12

Hello List, When I start slapd with the option -d 256 I can see what's happening when there's a connection # /usr/local/libexec/slapd -4 -d 256 -u _openldap -g _openldap -h ldaps:/// However I would like to have this in a log file and I added these lines to slapd.conf loglevel 256 logfile /var/log/slapd.log But my log file remains empty after I start the server with (without -d 256) # /usr/local/libexec/slapd -4 -u _openldap -g _openldap -h ldaps:/// However if I start the server with # /usr/local/libexec/slapd -4 -d 256 -u _openldap -g _openldap -h ldaps:/// The events display on the screen and in the slapd.log file as well. This behavior surprises me, am I missing something ? My ldap server version is 2.4.26p0 Thank you

Re: Message to Change Password
by Guillaume Rousse 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Le 21/09/2012 16:28, Soporte Ti a écrit : > This message appears missing five days for the password expires and > appears until this has expired but only every time I login with the user. Login where ? On a web application ? On a unix workstation ? On an imap mail server ? > There is something more than the passwd command to be used for this? A password is just an attribute in an LDAP server, so any command able to modify LDAP content can be potentially used. ldappassword being the most obvious one here. If, as I'm supposing now, you're actually using an LDAP server to manage Posix user accounts, and you have this issue when logging on an unix host, your problem is merely a client-side issue, and not an LDAP issue. You'll have better answers on the mailing list related to your exact LDAP client (pam_ldap, sssd, nss_pam_ldapd). -- BOFH excuse #70: nesting roaches shorted out the ether cable

I've used the Admin Guide and the Faq-O-Matic on many occassions and found them a good starting point, but not the final answer. I think a wiki-style documentation where the user commuity could more easily contribute to the knowledge base may be a helpful thing. Having said all that, there may already be something like that and I just don't know about it. I can start a new thread if more people want to chime in since I don't want to derail the original thread here.
