Difficulty configuring a shared addressbook
by Jonathan 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Despite following 2 tutorials, seems we're not able to get openldap configured correctly. Since this had to be done yesterday, is there anyone on this list who is available for an hour or 2 of consulting to get this running? Ideally tonight (Pacific time). Server is running fine, and no problem logged in as manager, but can't add the schema or a new user (dies with "Server is unwilling to perform (53) -- additional info: no global superior knowledge" or "ldapadd: No such object (32)"). Also TLS dies with "TLS: peer cert untrusted or revoked (0x42)" even though we are using a good, working SSL certificate. Also concerned about any unexpected issues trying to get a shared addressbook working across Thunderbird, Outlook, and others. Many thanks.

attribute 'pwdPolicySubentry' cannot have multiple values
by Chris Jacobs 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Hello, I've got my ldap infrastructure (mirrormode masters, 2 slaves per datacenter) working fantastic (I can clear a db on a remote slave and in less than 30 seconds after startup, it'll reacquire the entire db!). I'm now having an issue with one of the very last things: getting a password policy into effect. When I attempt to add the 'pwdPolicySubentry' attribute to a user account, I get the error: Mar 19 22:51:24 ldapmaster1 slapd[8731]: Entry (uid=chrisjtest,ou=people,dc=unix,dc=aptimus,dc=net), attribute 'pwdPolicySubentry' cannot have multiple values Mar 19 22:51:24 ldapmaster1 slapd[8731]: entry failed schema check: attribute 'pwdPolicySubentry' cannot have multiple values I get that error in the logs whether I try to add it by hand via Apache Directory Studio, or an ldif import/modify: dn: uid=chrisjtest,ou=people,dc=unix,dc=aptimus,dc=net changetype: modify add: pwdPolicySubentry pwdPolicySubentry: cn=default,ou=policies,dc=unix,dc=aptimus,dc=net Here are the related slapd.conf overlay directives: overlay ppolicy ppolicy_hash_cleartext ppolicy_use_lockout (Notice there's no ppolicy_default set - I'm still testing this feature out before I roll it out.) And for completeness, here's the entry that I'm attempting to add this attribute to: dn: uid=chrisjtest,ou=people,dc=unix,dc=aptimus,dc=net objectClass: top objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowAccount cn: ChrisJ Test gidNumber: 200 homeDirectory: /home/chrisjtest sn: chrisjtest uid: chrisjtest uidNumber: 583 description: ChrisJ Test gecos: ChrisJ Test loginShell: /bin/bash shadowLastChange: 14657 userPassword:: <<snipped>> And here's the password policy ldif: dn: ou=policies,dc=unix,dc=aptimus,dc=net objectClass: organizationalUnit objectClass: top ou: policies dn: cn=default,ou=policies,dc=unix,dc=aptimus,dc=net objectClass: top objectClass: device objectClass: pwdPolicy cn: default pwdAttribute: userPassword pwdAllowUserChange: TRUE pwdExpireWarning: 172800 pwdFailureCountInterval: 0 pwdGraceAuthNLimit: 0 pwdInHistory: 10 pwdLockout: TRUE pwdLockoutDuration: 1200 pwdMaxAge: 15897600 pwdMaxFailure: 3 pwdMinLength: 8 pwdMustChange: FALSE pwdSafeModify: TRUE When I built openldap, I enabled all overlays (I know, not the most efficient), and when I attempt to add moduleload ppolicy.la or ppolicy.so I get in the logs: line 18 (moduleload ppolicy.la) module_load: (ppolicy.la) already present (static) Which I'm pretty sure means it's already loaded... Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?

See the code snippet in slap_client_connect(), in servers/slapd/config.c for a complete example of how both functions can be used in the most complete form. p.

ldap_sasl_bind vs. ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s
by Thilko Richter 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hi, I am still trying to make an sasl bind. Now I use ldap_sasl_bind_s with 'CRAM-MD5'. The server sends a 'LDAP_SASL_BIND_IN_PROGRESS' back, but as far as I can see the server cred are empty. How do I make the next call with ldap_sasl_bind_s? In the documentation I have seen that the use of ldap_sasl_bind is not recommended as client use, instead the ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s should be preferred. Has anyone a working example of how to use this method, or some api doc? I have no clue how to set 'flags' the LDAP_SASL_INTERACT_PROC, an the 'defaults' params.. Thx, Thilko

Can't get password passthrough to work with openldap
by k pur 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

Hi, I am trying to get Pass-Through authentication to work for password verification. Following the 'Pass-Through authentication' (14.5) in the openldap 2.4 admin guide, I hve configured saslauthd and slapd.conf (sasl) and managed to successfully authenticate with Active Directory (AD) using the 'testsaslauthd' utility. Setting a user password in my openldap database in the form dn: uid=user,ou=org,dc=org.com userPassword: {SASL}joe(a)ad.example.com <SASL%7Duser(a)ad.example.com> where joe(a)ad.example.com <user(a)ad.example.com> is the userPrincipalName defined for this user in AD. I can't authenticate, when using the ldapsearch command $ ldapsearch -x -v -D 'uid=joe,ou=people,dc=myorg.com' -W -h ldaphost Comes up with error (49) I have enabled --enable-spasswd --with-cyrus-sasl when compiling openldap Has anybody configured this type of setup successfully? My question is - how do I configure my openldap server to talk to 'saslauthd' - which openldap's passthrough delegates password authentication to, when the userpassword is in the form userPassword: {SASL}joe(a)ad.example.com <SASL%7Duser(a)ad.example.com> Do I need to have some extra configurations in my openldap slapd.conf file? Currently I only have sasl-host and sasl-secprops defined, as:- sasl-host 127.0.0.1 # (where my openldap server runs as well) sasl-secprops none Do I need to do any auth-regex for any translation? This is my openldap entry for user joe dn: uid=joe,ou=people,dc=myorg.com objectclass: top objectclass: person objectclass: organizationalPerson objectclass: inetOrgPerson cn: Joe sn: Bloggs telephoneNumber: 3333 userPassword: {SASL}joe(a)ad.example.com <SASL%7Djoe(a)ad.example.com> physicalDeliveryOfficeName: J2B/1 givenName: joe uid: joe Below is my /usr/lib/sasl2/slapd.conf file mech_list: plain pwcheck_method: saslauthd saslauthd_path: /var/run/saslauthd/mux Below is my /etc/saslauthd.conf file ldap_servers: ldap://ad.example.com:389 ldap_search_base: ou=People,dc=ad,dc=example,dc=com ldap_filter: (userPrincipalName=%u) ldap_bind_dn: cn=admin,cn=Users,dc=ad,dc=example,dc=com ldap_password: mypassword Any help will be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks krishan

LDAP_AUTH_METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED with ldap_sasl_bind
by Thilko Richter 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

Hi, obviously I don´t have an appropriate 'supportedSASLMechanisms:' entry. But after adding supportedSASLMechanisms: PLAIN to some ldap entries, the ldap_sasl_bin still does not work. Where I have to add these informations, and are they correct for a simple bind? Thx, Thilko

detecting password expiration warnings by admin
by Tyler Gates 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

Hi Guys, We are currently looking into implementing password expirations (pwdMaxAge) along with password expiration warnings (pwdExpireWarning) so that email notifications may be sent to those offending entries via a cronjob run as the admin (or some other ACL user). The problem is, if I understand it correctly, these warning messages are only relayed (via password policy controls ?) when the USER itself binds to the tree. Is there some other way for a privileged user to obtain these messages or at least some other set attribute before pwdMaxAge has been reached? If you are thinking of increasing the pwdAuthGraceNLimit that wont work because the user could login and try binding several other times through the course of the day before receiving a "password is about to expire in nlogin attempts" which is preformed each time they login to their machine. Below is an example of what works to get the info I need, binding as a user (again not what I want): ##################################################################################################### #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Net::LDAP; use Net::LDAP::Constant qw(LDAP_EXTENSION_START_TLS); use Net::LDAP::Control::PasswordPolicy; use Net::LDAP::Constant qw(LDAP_CONTROL_PASSWORDPOLICY); use POSIX; my $ldap_host = "ldap://hostname.mydomain.com"; my $ldap_port = "389"; my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($ldap_host, port => $ldap_port); my $seconds_in_a_day = 86400; my $seconds_in_an_hour = 3600; my $pp = Net::LDAP::Control::PasswordPolicy->new; my $mesg = $ldap->bind("uid=someuser,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com", password => "secret", control => [ $pp ] ); # Get password policy reponse my($resp) = $mesg->control(LDAP_CONTROL_PASSWORDPOLICY); if (defined($resp)) { my $v = $resp->pp_error; print "Password policy error $v\n" if defined $v; $v = $resp->time_before_expiration; my $days = ceil($v/$seconds_in_a_day); my $hours = ($v/$seconds_in_an_hour); print "Your password expires in less than $days day(s) ($hours hour(s))\n" if defined $v; } ####################################################################################################

I can't get root level access rights(sudo) from ldap
by Zengming Zhang 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

Hi everyone: Please help me, I can't get root level access rights(sudo) from ldap.When I try to use sudo command, there is an error report: "user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." I am going to build a cluster systems, there is a file server and some client computers. The operating system of file server is Redhat Enterprise Linux v5.3, and the client's is Ubuntu 8.10 desktop edition. When users login on a client, the client will get user authorization info from server and mount its HOME folder automatically. I installed openldap server(openldap-2.3.43-3.el5) on file-server, and use libnss-ldapd, libpam-ldap, auth-client-config ldap-auth-client and ldap-auth-config packages to change client's user authorization methods. But the problem is I do can get user authorization info from the ldap server, but I can't get root level access rights from ldap server as followed the steps here: http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/man/sudoers.ldap.html. ################## My server configurations are: [1]/etc/openldap/slapd.conf： ------------------------------ The sudoers.schema has been included and indexed: include /etc/openldap/schema/sudoers.schema index sudoUser eq [2]/etc/ldap.conf: ------------------------------ sudoers_base has been set: sudoers_base ou=SUDOers,dc=file-server [3]Some contents in ldap database: ------------------------------ # SUDOers, file-server dn: ou=SUDOers,dc=file-server ou: SUDOers objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit # %sysadmins, SUDOers, file-server dn: cn=%sysadmins,ou=SUDOers,dc=file-server objectClass: top objectClass: sudoRole cn: %sysadmins sudoUser: %sysadmins sudoHost: ALL sudoCommand: ALL (sysadmins is a group name that I created in my ldap server, what I want is user in this group can get root level access rights.) ################## ################## My client configurations are: [1]sudo-ldap: ------------------------------ A "sudo-ldap" package of version 1.6.9p17-1ubuntu2.2 has been installed.

by antprado 14 Mar '10

14 Mar '10

(I did post this question to the software portion of the list also, my apologies if you seeing this in redundancy) Hi, I am being in contact with LDAP for the first and I do need to create a role for some users. Do you have any points or how to do this? What I need to do: role: ==> administrator user: admin001 role:==> developer user: dev001 user: dev002 role: ==> it user: operator001 user: operator002 I did create these accounts under fedora already. I need to create a role also for certain directories: for example: /home/bug ==> for developer /home/operations ==> for it /home ==> for administrator Thank you all for your help
