Modify or add information after conversion of slapd.conf to cn=config with fresh install of OpenLdap
by rey sebastien 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Hi! I start with a fresh installation of openldap 2.4.28 on debian. They are some problem with the debian package, and with gnuTLS, so i compile a version with opennSSL library. It's hard to understand with the official documentation how to start a from scratch installation with the new cn=config administration of openLDAP. So, i make a conversion ( with the great help of users on this mailling list ) from slapd.conf to cn=config on the first launch of openLDAP with this commands : |/usr/local/libexec/slapd -u openldap -g openldap -f slapd.conf.seb -F /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.d/ -d -1 | My slapd.conf.seb, really simple, equal : |include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/openldap.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/misc.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/ppolicy.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/gosa/samba3.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/gosa/trust.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/gosa/gofax.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/gosa/gofon.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/gosa/gosystem.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/gosa/goto-mime.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/gosa/goto.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/gosa/goserver.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/gosa/gosa-samba3.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/gosa/openssh-lpk.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/gosa/dnszone.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/gosa/nagios.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/gosa/dhcp.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/gosa/sudo.schema pidfile /usr/local/var/run/slapd.pid argsfile /usr/local/var/run/slapd.args database bdb suffix "dc=parisgeo,dc=cnrs,dc=fr" rootdn "cn=admin,cn=config,dc=parisgeo,dc=cnrs,dc=fr" rootpw {SSHA} secret directory /srv/openldap-data index objectClass eq | I have no problem with this simple conversion, but after that, it's impossible to import data with this command ldapadd or ldapmodify.

Do you think there is mistake in my simple installation/configuration ? I also create a post on serverFault.Com site, but i have no answer at this time http://serverfault.com/questions/342086/impossible-to-modify-or-add-informa… Best regards, SR

RE: OpenLDAP replciation issue with MirrorMode
by ZHOU Eric JP 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Dear OpenLDAP Administrators, Not sure if you get time to look into this issue yet. This issue only happens when power-off/power cut-off one of the mirror servers, and could be probably prevented by “sending heart beat” to verify the established connections. Thanks for your time looking at this email thread and your effort :) Thanks, Eric ________________________________ From: owner-qdlcp-security(a)LIST.ALCATEL-LUCENT.COM [mailto:owner-qdlcp-security@LIST.ALCATEL-LUCENT.COM] On Behalf Of ZHOU Eric JP Sent: 2012年1月4日 15:56 To: openldap-bugs(a)openldap.org; info(a)OpenLDAP.org; openldap-technical(a)openldap.org; openldap-devel(a)openldap.org Cc: qdlcp-security(a)list.alcatel-lucent.com; ANTHONY Michael; HO Yao; VAN RANGELROOIJ Ardo Subject: OpenLDAP replciation issue with MirrorMode Dear OpenLDAP Administrators, Recently we come across an OpenLDAP replication issue with OpenLDAP Mirror Mode. After configuring MIRROR-A and MIRROR-B in mirror mode with below configuration, it worked pretty well for a long period. But an issue comes up after MIRROR-A reboot, MIRROR-B could not get modification from MIRROR-A any more. After investigating the issue we find the original socket on MIRROR-B (consumer) is not reconnected. ==================================== ## MIRROR-A ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ## ---------------------------------------------------------------------- serverID 1 ## Consumer syncrepl rid=001 provider=ldap://10.207.131.1:389 bindmethod=simple binddn="uid=PrivDirUsr,o=CSOSSO" credentials=mypassword searchbase="o=CSOSSO" schemachecking=on type=refreshAndPersist interval=00:00:01:00 retry="10 +" mirrormode on ## MIRROR-A ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ## ---------------------------------------------------------------------- serverID 2 ## Consumer syncrepl rid=001 provider=ldap://10.207.130.1:389 bindmethod=simple binddn="uid=PrivDirUsr,o=CSOSSO" credentials=mypassword searchbase="o=CSOSSO" schemachecking=on type=refreshAndPersist interval=00:00:01:00 retry="10 +" mirrormode on Below is the socket information after MIRROR-A reboot, ==================================== ## MIRROR-A ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # lsof -i :389 | grep ldap | grep -v sshd | grep -v localhost | grep 10 slapd 16842 root 14u IPv4 36160 TCP ln007-cnfg-p00m000-d0:51114->10.207.131.1:ldap (ESTABLISHED) ## MIRROR-B ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # lsof -i :389 | grep ldap | grep -v sshd | grep -v localhost | grep 10 slapd 4825 root 14u IPv4 168497 TCP ln007-cnfg-p00m001-d0:52239->10.207.131.0:ldap (ESTABLISHED) slapd 4825 root 18u IPv4 193403 TCP ln007-mi-p00m001-d0:ldap->10.207.130.0:51114 (ESTABLISHED) Normally it should be, ## MIRROR-A ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # lsof -i :389 | grep ldap | grep -v sshd | grep -v localhost | grep 10 slapd 16842 root 14u IPv4 36160 TCP ln007-cnfg-p00m000-d0:51114->10.207.131.1:ldap (ESTABLISHED) slapd 4825 root 18u IPv4 193403 TCP ln007-mi-p00m000-d0:ldap->10.207.130.1: 52239 (ESTABLISHED) // This link is missing ## MIRROR-B ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # lsof -i :389 | grep ldap | grep -v sshd | grep -v localhost | grep 10 slapd 4825 root 14u IPv4 168497 TCP ln007-cnfg-p00m001-d0:52239->10.207.131.0:ldap (ESTABLISHED) slapd 4825 root 18u IPv4 193403 TCP ln007-mi-p00m001-d0:ldap->10.207.130.0:51114 (ESTABLISHED) I would greatly apreicate if you could provide some suggestions/comments upon this or improve OpenLDAP functionality to avoid this. For me I think this is normal TCP server down scenario, but probably you people could prohibit this from happening in below two methods? 1. Let OpenLDAP send mutual heart beat so that client knows when server is dead. 2. Let OpenLDAP send message to all its client when it is dying (e.g. receiving SIGTERM) // this does not work when MIRROR-A power cycle.

Copy ldap to another with different schema
by rey sebastien 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Hi, I have two ldap, one full of users, with gosa open source project specific schema (https://oss.gonicus.de/labs/gosa), and one which is empty, without this schema. I want to make a clean copy of my users into the first ldap to the second ldap, because my version of gosa installed is not functionnal :-/ Is it possible with slapcat to extract only useful information (so information without gosa schema information) ? Is there any solution to resolve this use case ? Thanks a lot, Best regards, SR

Interacting with LDAP via Python module
by Munroe Sollog 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

I'm experimenting with Python and its ability to interact with ldap. I wrote a program that is taking a DiT from one server and altering it a bit and writing to another server: http://bpaste.net/show/3nd2N4jQqNIHbPMKbgkb/ The error is at the bottom of the pastebin, I'm not really sure where the problem is.

Hi, We have a MirrorMode replication setup that uses openldap's syncrepl. The HA setup seems work fine with pacemaker. Now i would like to setup a nagios check for the replication. But before i can do that, i've got a simple question: How can i poll the replication status? Thanks in advance for any reply, Marco

Disabling SASL auth at server side
by Angel L. Mateo 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

Hello, I have an application I need to authenticate in my LDAP server. The problem I have is that this application is trying to authenticate its user (to search for user DNs) with SASL although I haven't configured SASL in my LDAP server. More detailed, the application does: * First, it checks for supported mechanisms with a search like: Jan 11 12:13:28 canis13 slapd[22380]: conn=41690 op=0 SRCH base="" scope=0 deref=0 filter="(objectClass=*)" Jan 11 12:13:28 canis13 slapd[22380]: conn=41690 op=0 SRCH attr=supportedSASLMechanisms Jan 11 12:13:28 canis13 slapd[22380]: conn=41690 op=0 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=1 text= * This search gets supportedSASLMechanisms: CRAM-MD5 supportedSASLMechanisms: DIGEST-MD5 supportedSASLMechanisms: NTLM * Then it tries to bind using a SASL mechanism that I haven't configured. With older version of openldap (2.3.30, debian etch version) I didn't have any problem because this search returns no result. Now I'm using openldap 2.4.21 (ubuntu lucid version) and I get this behaviour. Is there any way to configure the openldap server to disable this mechanisms?, because I don't want any sasl authentication. -- Angel L.

OpenLDAP Meta-Backend & Active Directory
by Seale, Ryan 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

I'm running OpenLDAP 2.3.43 and have a copy of OpenLDAP 2.4 installed on another server to test with. I'm not sure which is better for this. I'm trying to simplify LDAP structure and group authorized users into a few sub-OUs and have decided that OpenLDAP and a meta-backend is the way to proxy AD. My problem is I'm hitting some snags and need some help from an expert. Our AD users are structured as ou=employees,dc=org,dc=com and ou=clients,dc=org,dc=com. I basically just want to proxy them to be: ou=employees,ou=users,O=org and ou=clients,ou=users,o=org and move away from the dc naming convention for clarification of which system we're authenticating to. # settings for clients database meta suffix "ou=clients,dc=org,dc=com" subordinate uri "ldap://ldap/ou=clients,dc=org,dc=com" suffixmassage " ou=clients,dc=org,dc=com" "ou=clients,ou=Users,o=org" rewriteEngine on RewriteRule "sAMAccountName=(.*)ou=clients,dc=org,dc=com$" "%1ou=clients,ou=Users,o=org" ":" rebind-as-user true chase-referrals yes # settings for employees database meta suffix "ou= employees,dc=org,dc=com" subordinate uri "ldap://ldap/ou= employees,dc=org,dc=com" suffixmassage " ou= employees,dc=org,dc=com" "ou= employees,ou=Users,o=org" rewriteEngine on RewriteRule "sAMAccountName=(.*)ou= employees,dc=org,dc=com$" "%1ou= employees,ou=Users,o=org" ":" rebind-as-user true chase-referrals yes #primary database meta suffix "dc=org,dc=com" uri "ldap://jcdc1.etsu.edu/dc=org,dc=com" suffixmassage "dc=org,dc=com" "ou=Users,o=org" rewriteEngine on RewriteRule "sAMAccountName=(.*)dc=org,dc=com$" "%1ou=Users,o=org" ":" rebind-as-user true chase-referrals yes I also have a local bdb database for o=org. I can connect to the ldap server using a local account that exists in the bdb database, but cannot connect as a user that exists in the proxied ldaps. For example, if I pass credentials of cn=user,ou=employees,ou=users,o=org....I get auth failures. Can anyone shed a little light on the subject? In testing, I was able to struggle and get a similar configuration working with an ldap backend, but it wouldn't allow me to connect to more than one container and I wasn't willing to do a blanket LDAP search. Thanks, -Ryan

Implementing password policy
by Laurent CARON 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

Hi, I'm currently implementing a password policy on my openldap directory. Most of it is working (password length, password history). I just can't make the account lockout work. The attribute pwdAccountLockedTime is never created in my directory.

pam_check_host_attr

10 Jan '12

I'm unable to get host checking to work. I have followed what I think are the correct steps but I still get "Access denied for this host" when I specify a server or the * wildcard for all servers. The hostname command returns cadb5 so host lookups are working. Do you actually need a full blown DNS solution rather than host files to get this working?

How to setup bindmethod=sasl
by Gaurav Gugnani 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

Hello All, I need to setup the encrypted password for replicator user in the slapd.conf Currently we have setup the replication process, however it is using: bindmethod=simple credentials=[password] But the requirement is like: that we want to specify encrypted password at credentials column. I know this can be achieved with bindmethod=sasl etc. I tried lot but got stuck with some or the other thing and ends up getting error at last. Can we have some document explaining step-by-step how to achieve it? Or some document putting more light on this issue? Thanks for your support. Regards, Gaurav Gugnani Version of OpenLdap - 2.4.26
