Infrastructure for authentication using referrals
by Luiz M Oliveira 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hello everyone I'm having trouble configuring a distributed environment directories. I have the following scenario: A company with three departments (departments A, B and C) separated geographically. In each department a server is configured to store user input for authentication. The suffix of the directory of the three departments are configured as dc = company, dc = com Below the root directory of the three branches are configured. Using the example of the department A: Department_A dc =, dc = company, dc = com: has the user input in that department. departamento_B dc =, dc = company, dc = com: stores a referral to server B department departamento_C dc =, dc = company, dc = com: stores a referral to server B from the Department All departments follow this structure, but each department is set up a referral for other outlying departments. If a user of the department is located on the department network and B want to authenticate to that site, to query the server B, you receive a referral for their department of origin. Can I implement this authentication scenario, with all servers using the same suffix and below referrasl implemented for the branches of foreign departments? Thanks to all

Maximum ldap search filter string length ?
by Arjan Filius 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hello openldap-technical ML. Is there a clear answer to the question about the maximum ldap search filter length ? Dit hava a look at the ldapsearch code (2.4.19) and all seems dynamicaly allocated, and therefore no hard/fixed limit. ldap_search_ext/ldap_search (manpage) doesn't talk about limits too. filter is about: RFC 4515 as extended by RFC 4526, but doesn't mention maximum size as far i read. That leaves me to the conclusion that the filter size is dependent on archite4cture (32/64 bits), available memory systemwide, and available memory within a proces. Can someone confirm or deny this is correct, and perhaps is there a (rough) guide/best practice about max filter string length's ? Thanks in Advance, -- Arjan Filius mailto:iafilius@xs4all.nl

I think, it should be fine to define a database for each provider/subset of data on the consumer and define different syncrepl statements for each database (it may work in one database with different "searchbase"s und "rid"s).

I means how to config replication in a multi-level LDAP nodes. like the following the parent node is has a domain "dc=parentCA, dc=rootCA", and under this domain, many users were saved with dn like "cn=john, ou=sales,dc=parentCA, dc=rootCA" it has some sons nodes,like "dc=son1CA,dc=parentCA, dc=rootCA" and like its parent,users were saved with dn like "cn=john, ou=sales,dc=son1CA,dc=parentCA, dc=rootCA" Now, I hope parent node could saved data from sons node, so I try to config replication between the two nodes to make parent node could pull data from son node. However, it seems like the current replication solution was designed between the same nodes with the same domain, I don't know how to implement replcation between the different level nodes thanks for help gtalk:freeespeech@gmail.com <gtalk%3Afreeespeech(a)gmail.com> On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 8:18 PM, Torsten Schlabach (Tascel eG) < tschlabach(a)tascel.net> wrote: > Hi Owen! > > I am not sure I understand properly what you are trying to do. > > Do you want to replicate different parts within the same tree?

Authentication information cannot be recovered
by Matt Burkhardt 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

I have a headless server running Ubuntu 10.04 with LDAP set to expire every 30 days. This is the first time that my password expired after the upgrade from 8.10 LTS, and now it won't let me get to the command prompt. I login, then I get the following messages: WARNING: Your password has expired. You must change your password now and login again! Enter login(LDAP) password: LDAP Password incorrect: try again Enter login(LDAP) password: passwd: Authentication information cannot be recovered passwd: password unchanged and it logs me off. What should I be looking for?

Hello guys, I have a problem with delta-syn replication (all set up according to 'official' guide - http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html#Delta-syncrepl I have master instance with logs 'shipped' to a client - it all works fine as long as connection is good.

Evidence of client information in openldap accesslog
by Marco Pizzoli 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi list, I'm implementing slapo-accesslog in my openldap deployment. I have about 100 unix/linux systems that use a central openldap deployment to make authentication and grant access to users. With accesslog I'm able to see when a particular user has logged in, but is there a way to obtain, on the LDAP server side, information about which system has been accessed? Thanks in advance Marco -- _________________________________________ Non è forte chi non cade, ma chi cadendo ha la forza di rialzarsi. Jim Morrison

Hi there, I was playing around with cn=Monitor and I became curious with the following search: ldapsearch -x -LLL -h host.example.com -s base -b cn=entries,cn=statistics,cn=monitor '(objectclass=*)' '*' '+' dn: cn=Entries,cn=Statistics,cn=Monitor objectClass: monitorCounterObject structuralObjectClass: monitorCounterObject cn: Entries creatorsName: modifiersName: createTimestamp: 20100804183416Z modifyTimestamp: 20100804183416Z monitorCounter: 45607686 entryDN: cn=Entries,cn=Statistics,cn=Monitor subschemaSubentry: cn=Subschema hasSubordinates: FALSE What precisely meaning the attribute monitorCounter? Is it represent the number of entries which has been used as search base or something like that? Thanks! Matheus Morais

openldap-2.4.23 compile configure: error: could not locate ndbclient library
by Yusuf Rajah 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Hi All I have been trying to solve this for 4 days now without any luck. I have searched and tried fixes and nothing works, I am hoping some fresh minds and eyes can help me out with this. I want to run OpenLDAP using MySQL Cluster Server with the ndb backend database. I have installed mysql-cluster-gpl-7.1.5 from source, it is working and I have migrated some data into it to test. I am trying to compile openldap-2.4.23 with support for back-NDB. I run: ./configure --enable-ndb --disable-hdb --disable-bdb --prefix=/usr/local/openldap and eventually get: checking for ndb_init in -lndbclient... no configure: error: could not locate ndbclient library I am doing this on an Ubuntu 10.04 Linux system 2.6.32-24-server SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux. Your help would be tremendously appreciated. Regards Yusuf Rajah
