slapd: way of configuration
by Tobias Hachmer 24 Sep '12

24 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 24 Sep '12

24 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

I'm trying to glue remote database, provided by ldap backend with local hdb.

Re: Message to Change Password

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.

Nope, olcSecurity didn't help. Still have the problem. I restared slapd.
