The slapcat(8) manpage says: -H URI use dn, scope and filter from URI to only handle matching entries. It says nothing about using an attribute list in the URI. Did you think we were just joking?

Slapcat is meant to dump the whole context. You can eventualy use a small perl script to sort the relevant nodes afterwards. Else ldapsearch with '*' '+' should give you all the attributes included in the database. ldapsearch -x -LLL -D uid=admin,cn=config -W -s sub -b "cn=config" "(olcDatabase=*)" '*' '+' The '+' adds the operational attributes.

Query filter on number of values in multi-valued attributes
by Nick Milas 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

A quick question: Is there a way to formulate a query filter to say: "Find all entries which include two or more values (or exactly n values) in attribute xYZ" or we must create a script to test? Thanks, Nick

syncrepl + slapd-relay + slapo-rwm some clarification needed
by Jeffrey Crawford 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

Hello all, We have a need to populate one of our replicas with mapped attributes long story short, using a ldap proxy to perform the mapping will not be sufficient since the attributes are being used by OpenLDAP itself. I've found that when setting up a slapd-relay to virtualize the suffix and then use rwm to perform the mapping I get the desired view. However when trying to replicate the content using a replication account things start acting weird I think mostly because syncrepl processes changes via logs and update instructions from the provider to the consumer. That being the case the syncrepl RefreshAndPersist actually changes the values from the original update instruction. Ergo the replica looking at the virtualized suffix (using relay) actually gets the attribute populated that I wanted mapped. Meaning the replica and the relay view don't agree rather the replica and the original data agree. I've found that if I use the syncrepl RefreshOnly the replica yields the desired results however that is performed on intervals so the data isn't immediately available. So Have I missed something on the RefreshAndPersist method that would also yield the desired results? Or is RefreshAndPersist always going to see the original change being made even if the underlying relay view shows the mapped attributes? Ugh the above is so complex to describe Below is an example to facilitate a quick explanation. ### Provider hdb database dn: cn=record,dc=suffix,dc=org cn: record attr1: value1 attr2: value2 attr3: value3 ### Provider relay database dn: cn=record,dc=suffix,dc=org,cn=mapped cn: record attr1: value1 attr2: value3 | | attr3: value2 | Values switched | #### { Replica Section } ##################################### ### replica from cn=mapped using RefreshAndPersist (Undesired) dn: cn=record,dc=suffix,dc=org cn: record attr1: value1 attr2: value2 attr3: value3 ### replica from cn=mapped using RefreshOnly (Desired) dn: cn=record,dc=suffix,dc=org,cn=mapped cn: record attr1: value1 attr2: value3 | | attr3: value2 | Values switched |

howto view slapd configuration : ldapsearch VS slapcat
by Olivier 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

Hello, I have trouble to use slapcat to browse in my slapd configuration? For example, with ldapsearch I use this to see ACL : ldapsearch -x -LLL -D uid=admin,cn=config -W -s sub -b "cn=config" "(olcDatabase=*)" olcAccess What would be the equivalent with slapcat (run with "-F /etc/openldap/slapd.d") ? Thanks --- Olivier

syncrepl provider not working after upgrade to 2.4.26
by Nick Milas 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

Hi, I have a syncrepl provider v2.4.22 working fine (the only provider in our organization). I upgraded with the same configuration to v2.4.26 and provider is not working (neither over ldaps: nor over ldap:). Otherwise connectivity is fine (with any ldap client) both with ldap and with ldaps. I get (in all consumers): Oct 17 21:21:32 vmail slapd[14621]: do_syncrep2: rid=111 LDAP_RES_SEARCH_RESULT Oct 17 21:21:32 vmail slapd[14621]: do_syncrep2: rid=111 LDAP_RES_SEARCH_RESULT (53) Server is unwilling to perform Oct 17 21:21:32 vmail slapd[14621]: do_syncrep2: rid=111 (53) Server is unwilling to perform Oct 17 21:21:32 vmail slapd[14621]: do_syncrepl: rid=111 rc -2 retrying How can I troubleshoot the issue further? Current config on the provider is: overlay syncprov syncprov-checkpoint 100 10 syncprov-sessionlog 100 and on consumers: syncrepl rid=111 provider=ldaps://ldap.example.com tls_reqcert=never type=refreshAndPersist retry="60 +" searchbase="dc=example,dc=com" schemachecking=off bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=someuser,dc=example,dc=com" credentials="password" Thanks, Nick

Loading LDAP schema files into cn=config
by Mark Cave-Ayland 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

Hi all, Having started to look at the changes required to migrate from a slapd.conf setup to a cn=config setup, one of things I'm struggling with is how to load new LDAP schemas into cn=config. I've seen the guides similar to this one here: http://blogger.ziesemer.com/2011/01/ldap-authentication-for-samba.html which suggest hacking together a temporary slapd.conf file containing just the include directives, run slaptest, and then hack the output so that it can be loaded into cn=config using ldapadd. Given that this is a quite a common task, is there no way of generating the LDIF directly to be loaded into the directory, e.g. slaptest -s /etc/ldap/schema/myschema.schema [ -n <schemanum> ] -l myschema.ldif Or then again, is this functionality already there but I just haven't managed to find it yet? I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction and/or give me some hints as to the best way to manage schemas in the new regime. Many thanks, Mark. -- Mark Cave-Ayland - Senior Technical Architect PostgreSQL - PostGIS Sirius Corporation plc - control through freedom http://www.siriusit.co.uk t: +44 870 608 0063 Sirius Labs: http://www.siriusit.co.uk/labs

What's the java equivalent of ldap_set_option( NULL, LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CACERTDIR, cert_path)?
by daisy.wu＠emc.com 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

Hi, OpenLDAP developers, I have been able to successfully write a simple C program using the OpenLDAP C-SDK to establish connection to Microsoft Active Directory Server over SSL. In my test program, I call ldap_set_option( NULL, LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CACERTDIR, cert_path) to set the path to a directory where all my CA Root certificates are. OpenLDAP uses OpenSSL format of certificate management, the trusted CA Root Certificates are no longer imported into a single file (aka the certificate store). OpenSSL hashes the certificate file (.pem format), and uses symbolic link to link to the actual certificate.pem file. Here's content of my cert_path dir: wud2@pleoski:[/emc/wud2/ldap_certdb]> ls -altr total 80 -rw-r--r-- 1 wud2 dctmuser 1688 Sep 16 09:36 ldap112_rootca.pem drwxr-xr-x 2 wud2 dctmuser 1024 Sep 16 09:37 ./ lrwxrwxrwx 1 wud2 dctmuser 18 Sep 16 10:11 e8332e5a.0 -> ldap112_rootca.pem drwxr-xr-x 67 wud2 dctmuser 9216 Oct 14 14:04 ../ I am trying to write a Java LDAP client program using Novell's JLDAP to connect to Microsoft Active Directory server, over SSL. I would like to use my current cert_path (listed above) to establish LDAP SSL connection, in Java. I found an example listed on the Novell site: http://developer.novell.com/documentation/samplecode/jldap_sample/security/… // Dynamically set JSSE as a security provider Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider()); // Dynamically set the property that JSSE uses to identify // the keystore that holds trusted root certificates System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", path); As you can see, in this Java example, the "path" value is expected to be "keystore file that holds trusted root certificates". But in my case, I only have a directory where trusted root certificates are present. I don't exactly have a single keystore file. So, my questions is, what is the Java equivalent for ldap_set_option( NULL, LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CACERTDIR, cert_path)? Any comments/input would be much appreciated. Thanks. Daisy

SCRAM-SHA-1
by Michael Ströder 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

HI! I'd like to do some interop testing using SCRAM-SHA-1. But I don't know how to set the userPassword value in OpenLDAP for that. I guess I have to write my own tool... Did anybody here already play with it? Ciao, Michael.

Migrating ACLs to cn=config
by Nick Milas 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hello, I have used: slaptest -f slapd.conf -F slapd.d to migrate my slapd.conf-based config, but ACLs included in slapd.conf as: include /path/to/acl.conf where not included in the produced configuration. Instead a default(?) rule of "olcAccess: {0}to * by * none" was included. How can we migrate all rules from acl.conf automatically (it's a fairly big file - about 1000 lines). Thanks in advance, Nick
