critical applications
by Friedrich Locke 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Dear friends, i am planning to use openldap 2.4.26 and bdb 4.6.21v0 for mission critical application mailing system. I tried some time ago i tried to implement a mail server using qmail, qmail-ldap patch, openldap and bdb but while time passed and email were coming and going, slapd was eating all system memory and needed to be restart. I wonder if someone in the mailing list have used such technologies so far and with which degree of success ? Thanks in advance for your time and cooperation. Best regards. []s gustavo.

ACL: access to all values vs. to value
by Dora Paula 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hi list, is there a possibility to create an acl statement that grants access to any (unknown) value of an attribute but denys access to all values of the same attribute? For example: # allow this: dn: cn=PersonA,ou=persons,o=test changetype: modify delete: description description: PersonA's description # deny this: dn: cn=PersonA,ou=persons,o=test changetype: modify delete: description - Thank you very much.

by rodrigo tavares 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hello ! I create one samba user with command: smbldap-useradd -a xbox -c "Game XBOX" -S "Sell games" -d /home/xbox -s /bin/false Then I type: smbldap-passwd xbox #define password ldap user smbpasswd -a xbox # create user samba So. I can to make login in my domain. I checked atributtes gecos is: SystemUser. After I log in domain, in the top menu windows show:System User. I changed this value gecos, but each login the gecos show System User. It´s no changed never. This command in line 2, not define gecos in LDAP, give default with "System user". If i change the value gecos in LDAP before te fist login, the gecos is with value correct. Any sugesstion ? Thanks. Rodrigo Faria

got into a "checksum error" situation
by Jeff Dickens 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

I was following an Ubuntu howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openldap-server.html ,which has served me well so far, and I was working on the part where TLS is set up. I made an ldif file like: dn: cn=config add: olcTLSCACertificateFile olcTLSCACertificateFile: /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem - add: olcTLSCertificateFile olcTLSCertificateFile: /etc/ssl/certs/grackle_slapd_cert.pem - add: olcTLSCertificateKeyFile olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/ssl/private/grackle_slapd_key.pem and, well, I blew it.. I initially had a typo in it, and the server cert and key weren't where I said they were. I ran ldapmodify to load the ldif file above: ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ssl/certinfo.ldif Then I tried to restart slapd, and perhaps unsurprisingly it did not restart. Aug 8 16:41:30 grackle slapd[1660]: @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd (Jul 26 2012 00:10:41) $#012#011buildd@aatxe :/build/buildd/openldap-2.4.28/debian/build/servers/slapd Aug 8 16:41:30 grackle slapd[1660]: main: TLS init def ctx failed: -1 Aug 8 16:41:30 grackle slapd[1660]: slapd stopped. Aug 8 16:41:30 grackle slapd[1660]: connections_destroy: nothing to destroy. So I thought I just fix my ldif file, which I did, and then run ldapmodify again. But no, that clearly wasn't going to work because slapd wasn't running. Not knowing what else to do, I removed the lines containing "olcTLS" from /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif. Then I was able to restart slapd (congratulating myself) and then re-ran my ldapmodify command to enter the correct locations of the cert and key. But I still get a checksum error in syslog: Aug 8 17:04:53 grackle slapd[2028]: slapd starting Aug 8 17:05:01 grackle slapd[2028]: ldif_read_file: checksum error on "/etc/ldap /slapd.d/cn=config.ldif" I haven't even tried to see if I have TLS working, but I have two questions: #1. How should I have recovered from this (human) error? What I did didn't seem to work out very well. and #2. How do I un-screw my config and resolve the checksum problem? Thanks in advance for any assistance. -- * Jeff Dickens* IT Manager 978-632-1513

Virtual view using slapd-relay: dn mapping failure
by Guillaume Rousse 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Hello list. I'm trying to provide a virtual view of the user branch in my legacy ldap directory. Basically, the real branch uses 'localLogin' as login attribute, and not 'uid', as usual, which unfortunatly breaks hard-coded rules in some applications. This configuration creates a virtual 'ou=users' branch, mapped on actual 'ou=people', with real 'localLogin' attribute mapped to 'uid', and real 'uid' one removed: # virtual database database relay suffix ou=users,dc=domain relay ou=people,dc=domain overlay rwm rwm-suffixmassage ou=people,dc=domain rwm-map attribute uid localLogin rwm-map attribute uid access to dn.subtree="ou=users,dc=domain" attrs=userPassword by anonymous auth access to dn.subtree="ou=users,dc=domain" by * read # main database database bdb suffix "dc=domain" However, the actual 'uid' attribute is also used as RDN in the actual branch, and bind operation fails, because DN mapping is incomplete: uid=rousse,ou=users,dc=domain -> uid=rousse,ou=people,dc=domain Wheras I'd need this, where somethingelse is the value for the actual 'uid' attribute: uid=rousse,ou=users,dc=domain -> uid=somethingelse,ou=people,dc=domain I read rwm man page carefully, but it is a bit tough to understand. So, how am I supposed to achieve this ? -- BOFH excuse #219: Recursivity. Call back if it happens again.
