The correct way of updating a schema
by E.S. Rosenberg 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

A package I use recently updated the schema files related to the package, what is the correct way to go about replacing the schemas that were already loaded into cn=schema? My bruteforce solution was most likely not the correct way. Thanks and best regards, Eli

DB_CONFIG - Auto remove logs
by ldap＠mm.st 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

This may have been discussed, but i can not seem to find out why the transaction logs are not getting removed when I use DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE in DB_CONFIG. This is on a Redhat 5 openldap 2.3 server. DB_CONFIG has the following: set_lg_dir /var/lib/ldap/bdblogs set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE Doing slapd_db_archive shows about 134 unused files. I then did the following (is this the correct procedure to use when updating DB_CONFIG?): > serivice ldap stop > Edited DB_CONFIG > slapd_db_recover > slapd_db_archive > service ldap start The files are still there. I also manually did a checkpoint with "slapd_db_checkpoint -1" and verified the transaction log time changed. Reran "slapd_db_archive" and it outputs the same files. I read that earlier versions required a patch for this to work, but I was not sure about this one. I'm unclear on when the removal is suppose to take place, but it doesn't seem to be working.

tls_checkpeer directive
by Michael Starling 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

I'm running openldap-2.3.43-12.el5 on a RHEL 5.5 system: I believe I have TLS encryption working but I'd like to be able to verify my client connections. On my LDAP server I have the following in slapd.conf TLSCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:+TLSv1:!SSLv2:+SSLv3 TLSCertificateFile /etc/openldap/cacerts/slapdcert.pem TLSCertificateKeyFile /etc/openldap/cacerts/slapdkey.pem TLSCACertificateFile /etc/openldap/cacerts/slapdcert.pem On the client I have the following in /etc/ldap.conf uri ldaps://10.70.5.67/ ssl on tls_cacertfile /etc/openldap/cacerts/slapdcert.pem tls_checkpeer no On the client /etc/openldap/ldap.conf URI ldaps://10.70.5.67/ TLS_CACERT /etc/openldap/cacerts/slapdcert.pem TLS_REQCERT demand These commands work both from the client and server. openssl s_client -connect servername:636 -showcerts ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://servername -b dc=domain,dc=domain -D cn=root,dc=domain,dc=domain -W So my first question would be does this guarantee encrypted sessions? Second, if I change tls_checkpeer to yes then I can't contact the LDAP server. How can I verify my clients? -Mike

Handling slapd.d in OpenLDAP and Kerberos
by sarathkrishna89＠gmail.com 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Hi, We are currently trying to use OpenLDAP as the database for Kerberos in our lab. We installed OpenLDAP in Ubuntu 10.04 and is working without any problem (i,e. queries are showing the correct results) But we are not able to get Kerberos authenticate via OpenLDAP. For authenticating via OpenLDAP, the principles needs to be rewritten (using authz-policy and authz-regexp). We know how to do that in older version of OpenLDAP which had (slapd.conf) but don't know how to do the same in new OpenLDAP which has slapd.d directory instead. The manuals also doesn't say anything on this issue. We did the following for testing authentication via Kerberos: kinit username; ldapsearch -H ldaps://server.example.com And we got this result: SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started Please enter your password: ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Invalid credentials (49) additional info: SASL(-13): user not found: no secret in database We just want to perform this: authz-policy from authz-regexp uid=(.*),cn=example.com,cn=GSSAPI,cn=auth uid=$1,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com We think adding this in slapd.conf should serve the purpose. Any suggestions/help is highly appreciated. -- Sarath

Multimaster replication of cn=config working too well?!
by Mark Cairney 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Hi, Has anyone experienced problems with the cn=config directory syncing the same change across all nodes and breaking the configuration? In the past I've had problems where the syncrepl parameters are synced across all nodes, including that node itself, which results in the servers then trying to sync with themselves. The most recent problem however was that the olcSaslHost value was synced to be one particular server on all 3 nodes. As I was using GSSAPI to do the replication this broke it completely and it meant that I could only bind via GSSAPI to one of the 3 servers. In the meantime I've set the servers not to syncrepl cn=config but this isn't ideal. Anyone else on the list had similar problems?

slapd.d syntax help for ldap proxy server
by Anton Chu 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

I'm trying to setup a ldap proxy server for push based replication. I'm in need of help with providing the correct syntax on installing a ldap proxy using slapd.d instead of slapd.conf. The items in bold are the questionable syntax that can crossover to slapd.d.

slapo-lastbind
by Marco Pizzoli 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hi all, I used effectively the new slapo-lastbind overlay. I noticed that my authTimestamp attribute become populated for each user who successfully does a bind, but on my multi-master deploy I cannot have that attribute shared/replicated on all servers Any suggestions?

Hi list, Today I downloaded the HEAD repository and tried to compile also the contrib module "lastbind". With the configure script I'm not able to have that module built in. I have to do something particular? Thanks Marco -- _________________________________________ Non è forte chi non cade, ma chi cadendo ha la forza di rialzarsi. Jim Morrison

Search with filter doesn't return any results?
by Markku Tavasti 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

Hi! I have strange problem: I have newly built ldap database. System is running on Centos 5.5 (same as RHEL 5) # slapd -V @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.3.43 (Nov 29 2010 03:44:41) $ mockbuild@builder10.centos.org:/builddir/build/BUILD/openldap-2.3.43/openldap-2.3.43/build-servers/servers/slapd I have configured syncrepl from ldap1 to ldap2. Both systems have same slapd.conf execpt on ldap1 syncprov overlay, ldap2 syncrepl consumer. To both servers ldapsearch without additional filters works fine, and returns content of database. However, to ldap1 (synrepl master) applying any search filter gives no results. Only filters I have noticed working are objectClass-filters. For example like this: --------- shell commands & output start --------- [root@srv]# ldapsearch -x -h ldap1 -b "dc=hq,dc=mydomain,dc=com" ... actual search results removed ..... # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 33 # numEntries: 32 [root@srv]# ldapsearch -x -h ldap1 -b "dc=hq,dc=mydomain,dc=com" | grep tavasti memberUid: tavasti memberUid: tavasti memberUid: tavasti # tavasti, Users, hq.mydomain.com dn: uid=tavasti,ou=Users,dc=hq,dc=mydomain,dc=com uid: tavasti homeDirectory: /home/ldap/tavasti [root@srv]# ldapsearch -x -h ldap1 -b "dc=hq,dc=mydomain,dc=com" uid=tavasti # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=hq,dc=mydomain,dc=com> with scope subtree # filter: uid=tavasti # requesting: ALL # # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 1 --------- shell commands & output end --------- On log I get with the last one: Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: conn=30 fd=15 ACCEPT from IP=10.x.x.x:347 25 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: conn=30 op=0 BIND dn="" method=128 Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: conn=30 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: begin get_filter Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: EQUALITY Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: end get_filter 0 Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: conn=30 op=1 SRCH base="dc=hq,dc=mydomain,dc=com" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(uid=tavasti)" Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: => bdb_filter_candidates Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: AND Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: => bdb_list_candidates 0xa0 Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: => bdb_filter_candidates Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: OR Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: => bdb_list_candidates 0xa1 Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: => bdb_filter_candidates Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: EQUALITY Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: <= bdb_filter_candidates: id=0 first=0 last=0 Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: => bdb_filter_candidates Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: EQUALITY Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: <= bdb_filter_candidates: id=0 first=0 last=0 Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: <= bdb_list_candidates: id=0 first=0 last=0 Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: <= bdb_filter_candidates: id=0 first=0 last=0 Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: <= bdb_list_candidates: id=0 first=1 last=0 Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: <= bdb_filter_candidates: id=0 first=1 last=0 Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: conn=30 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: conn=30 op=2 UNBIND Feb 4 18:29:54 ldap1 slapd[8611]: conn=30 fd=15 closed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On config I have 'loglevel filter config stats' Any ideas what on earth is going on? -- M.
