how to constructure ldap entry when user status is changed
by owen nirvana 21 Apr '10

21 Apr '10

I have some user information ( with certificate ) ,like cn = bob, dc= one, dc = two ,dc = org sn: .. userCertificate;binary::... .. : ... someday , if he would be revoked, should i move it to another entry ( replace a new dn ), like cn = bob, dc = crl ,dc = two ,dc = org or maybe I use the same entry , like cn = bob, dc= one, dc = two ,dc = org sn: .. userCertificate;binary::... .. : ... revoked : true/false revokeTime : ... gtalk:freeespeech@gmail.com <gtalk%3Afreeespeech(a)gmail.com>

Using Replication Slave For Authentication
by Ariel 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

I have inherited an openldap server (2.4.9) and have set about to making it a bit more fault tolerant. So I have added a syncrepl slave and everything seems to work fine. It pulls down the whole ldap tree and stays in sync in real time with type=refreshAndPersist. I can use command line tools to very that it has all the information from the original master server using a command like this: ldapsearch -xLL -H ldaps://ldap2.domain.com/ -b "dc=domain,dc=com" -D "cn=admin,dc=domain,dc=com" -W My problem however is that when I try to authenticate users against the slave server, it does not work. All attempts fail. Also when I use ApacheDS (graphical LDAP browser) to view its contents, it only shows the Root DSE and none of the child objects like cn=config or any of the users or any of that. I can use ApacheDS fine to view and modify everything on the master server though. The slapd.conf config files between the two are exactly the same (except one is declared as sync master and one as slave), the password hashes are successfully replicated to the slave as I can see with ldapsearch, but I have no idea how to debug why it won't authenticate users. For reference, here is my syncrepl config section (in slapd.conf) on the slave: syncrepl rid=123 provider=ldaps://ldap1.domain.com:636 type=refreshAndPersist searchbase="dc=domain,dc=com" filter="(objectClass=*)" scope=sub schemachecking=off bindmethod=simple binddn="uid=syncuser,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com" credentials=syncpassword and on the master server: moduleload syncprov.la overlay syncprov syncprov-checkpoint 100 10 syncprov-sessionlog 100 As a failover/backup server seems extremely prudent especially on the ancient hardware we have running these things, I really want to get this to work properly. Perhaps even later doing a round-robin style load balancing between the two or what have you. I have no idea how to debug this, any help would be greatly appreciated! -a

openLDAP architecture - centralized repository and authentication
by Marot Laurent 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

Hi all, I'm far from being openLDAP and more generally Linux advanced user but I'd love to be if I could find some architecture guidance for the following use case. (I've only been playing from time to time with openLDAP on Windows boxes - shame on me :)) I'm currently using 30 Linux server in my business unit. Almost 10 different sysadmin have to administer those servers. I'd like to have a centralized directory gartering all those 30 x 10 accounts so that I could have one single place du manage my identities. All my servers could then authenticate agains this directory. Could openLDAP and some adding tools provide me the right architecture to reach this goal ? Any pointer on this issue will please me ( Google only lead me to basical information about configuring openLDAP on standalone linux boxes) Thanks a lot LM

Samba and ldap failover - RH / Centos problem?
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 19 Apr '10

19 Apr '10

Hi folks, I recently got my ldap master slave samba test environment up and runing. samba-3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 openldap-2.3.43-3.el5 The ldap systems sync fine, samba users are authenticated by each server seperatly if I set tham in the samba conf. E.g. passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://ldap2.filmakademie.de" and passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://ldap1.filmakademie.de" work. passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://ldap1.filmakademie.de ldap://ldap2.filmakademie.de" works as long, as ldap1 is up. If ldap1 is down, no authentication / switchover to ldap2 is done. I've googled, looked up the samba wiki and finaly I found a posting Fedora 4 related to probems with an ldap_initialize() function ... So my question, are ther any known problems or what may I check/debug?

Restricting acces using host attribute
by Francis, Steve (IHG) 19 Apr '10

19 Apr '10

Greetings, I have a Ldap server up and running, all is well. However, I would like to start restricing access to hosts using the host attribute, which if I'm correct is part of the account objectClass. This is a SLES 10.3 system. The id that I migrated from /etc/passwd had the host attribute, but all other id's created later via the YAST gui interface, do not. I believe this is because they are using inetOrgPerson, instead of account. Is there some way of adding the host attribute to newly added users?

Basic ACL question...I think.
by Ken Kleiner 18 Apr '10

18 Apr '10

Hi, I'm new to ACL creation. We have a fully functional ldap server implementation that is working quite well for user auth. What I'm trying to do is set up my ldap server so that when a specific host binds using a particular DN, that host only sees specific entries in the ou=People tree, so that getent, id, nss, pam, etc only recognizes those users. Is this possible? I'm stumped. Thanks. Ken Kleiner System Manager University of Massachusetts Lowell Computer Science Department 978 934 3645

Adding Objectclass account gives object class violation
by Shamika Joshi 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

I'm using samba-openldap on Ubuntu 9.10 Server. I have created following user:rick using smbldap-tools which use default samba.schema.eg shown below. Now I also want to use "Host based authentication" using pam_filter where I need to mention host entry which has to be present in that user record. pam_filter |(host=cms2)(host=cms3) However "host" attribute appears only if I add "objectclass:account". If I go ahead to add that here for user:rick it gives me objectclass violation. What could be the way out of it? Any inputs would be highly appreciated cn: rick objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowAccount objectClass: sambaSamAccount sn: rick givenName: rick uid: rick uidNumber: 30003 gidNumber: 513 homeDirectory: /home/rick loginShell: /bin/bash gecos: System User sambaLogonTime: 0 sambaLogoffTime: 2147483647 sambaKickoffTime: 2147483647 sambaPwdCanChange: 0 sambaPwdMustChange: 2147483647 displayName: rick sambaAcctFlags: [UX] sambaSID: S-1-5-21-1045966857-3925637060-4258372004-61006 sambaPrimaryGroupSID: S-1-5-21-1045966857-3925637060-4258372004-513 sambaLogonScript: logon.bat sambaProfilePath: \\x6\profiles\rick sambaHomePath: \\x6\rick sambaHomeDrive: H: sambaLMPassword: 01FC5A6BE7BC6929AAD3B435B51404EE sambaNTPassword: 0CB6948805F797BF2A82807973B89537 sambaPwdLastSet: 1271227877 userPassword: test Thanks Shamika

Sorry, I take the last sentence back: mapping a DN to nothing means there was nothing to map. The failure is just later, where (pretty self-explanatory): ldap-proxy[13175]: ==>slap_sasl_authorized: can cn=replicator,dc=example,dc=com become uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com? ldap-proxy[13175]: <== slap_sasl_authorized: return 48 ldap-proxy[13175]: <= get_ctrls: n=1 rc=123 err="not authorized to assume identity" the entry "cn=replicator,dc=example,dc=com" does not have the right to assume the identity of "uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com". > You probably do not show > enough of your master and replica slapd.conf. This is correct. Also, the error may depend on the value of the authzTo/authzFrom attributes of the identities involved in the mapping. As clearly stated in slapd-ldap man page about idassert: [snip] Other identity assertion modes are anonymous and self, which respectively mean that the empty or the client’s identity will be asserted; [snip] For all modes that require the use of the proxyAuthz control, on the remote server the proxy identity must have appropriate authzTo permissions, or the asserted identities must have appropriate authzFrom permissions. p.
