Adding a attribute of a new schema to an existing entry - FIXED
by alexander＠nautae.eti.br 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Ok, I think I got it. I was using a 'SUP inetOrgPerson STRUCTURAL' to my new scheme. So, when I've changed to 'SUP top AUXILIARY' I finally could add my new attributes. I think it's because ldapmodify was trying to modify the structural object to my entry and it's impossible (just at creation time). So, here's my ldif (it's working): dn: uid=unicorn,ou=ground,dc=dinosaurs,dc=jurassic,dc=history changetype: modify add: objectClass objectClass: oilCorporation - add: oilCorporationTypeOfThing oilCorporationTypeOfThing: withcandle []'s Alexander Brazil - Rio de Janeiro ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

'unary operator expected' error when TLS turned on
by John Kane 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

I've also posted this message on the OpenSSL forum: I just turned on TLS on my LDAP (per instructions on http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/185.html). Now all of my Linux servers (RH EL5) give the following error on login: -bash: [: =: unary operator expected The error goes away when I turn TLS off. I cannot determine what is causing this error, or even which file contains the error. I've gone through my LDAP config files, cannot find an issue in any of these. Other than my cacert.pem, and the LDAP config files, are there other files that are read only when TLS is turned on? Thanks, John I am running Openldap 2.3.43-2.el5 & OpenSSL 0.9.8b-10.el5 (RPMs from Red Hat, which I am required to use unless I put up a BIG fight). ++++ Here's my configs ++++ I turn on TLS by adding the following in my /etc/ldap.conf (pam/nss file): ssl start_tls tls_checkpeer yes tls_cacertfile /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.pem tls_cacertdir /etc/openldap/cacerts/ and have the following in my /etc/openldap/ldap.conf (openldap file): HOST 172.25.3.97 BASE dc=example,dc=net TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts/ TLS_REQCERT allow and my (self-signed) cacert: [root@serverx cacerts]# openssl x509 -text -in /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.pem Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) Serial Number: 0 (0x0) Signature Algorithm: sha1WithRSAEncryption Issuer: C=US, ST=Utah, O=Bigtime CA, OU=Signers, CN=Integration Root CA/emailAddress=john.smith(a)myco.com Validity Not Before: May 28 04:37:13 2009 GMT Not After : May 27 04:37:13 2012 GMT Subject: C=US, ST=Utah, O=Bigtime CA, OU=Signers, CN=Integration Root CA/emailAddress=john.smith(a)myco.com Subject Public Key Info: Public Key Algorithm: rsaEncryption RSA Public Key: (1024 bit) Modulus (1024 bit): 00:b3:bf:f0:18:5d:7e:57:0a:ce:15:3c:28:2a:81: 6d:e6:c5:31:98:7e:cc:09:03:d2:28:f2:33:3e:88: 11:5f:7d:e1:18:33:38:7d:f5:fa:9d:89:a8:95:16: 08:00:81:08:29:ac:37:b3:b1:2b:f3:20:52:15:d7: 19:44:92:9c:45:e7:2e:58:fe:7e:07:d4:1f:5a:ad: 59:91:37:84:14:a8:4e:df:54:a2:62:66:38:9b:f0: cf:48:01:68:0d:3a:7c:93:83:02:48:e0:76:a1:5c: f9:05:3b:49:1e:03:9a:fd:ea:ee:79:f7:87:66:96: b0:69:39:e1:e6:1a:bd:9e:0d Exponent: 65537 (0x10001) X509v3 extensions: X509v3 Basic Constraints: CA:FALSE Netscape Comment: OpenSSL Generated Certificate X509v3 Subject Key Identifier: 0B:FB:7D:0B:0D:17:A3:CD:79:02:A3:A3:92:57:15:6F:DE:38:07:3C X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: keyid:0B:FB:7D:0B:0D:17:A3:CD:79:02:A3:A3:92:57:15:6F:DE:38:07:3C Signature Algorithm: sha1WithRSAEncryption 28:52:3d:9c:90:d1:89:00:d7:9d:3b:06:a6:32:28:e8:c0:8d: 9d:5a:0b:79:bb:1a:c9:1a:8d:c6:3a:a5:ec:5d:4c:9f:20:4c: c6:1e:41:df:7d:d5:fc:45:09:2b:4b:7c:ff:38:aa:ea:33:a0: 4a:be:7c:84:7c:58:e8:98:9b:c9:0e:4b:5b:11:c6:28:84:b1: 3f:bb:30:03:f6:38:40:9f:2d:32:bc:3a:97:b8:6f:fd:aa:9f: 67:a6:27:07:53:b2:40:41:86:b7:02:f2:6b:07:6f:1b:74:87: 63:3b:1b:89:13:08:cb:32:f0:3c:3b:5e:d6:df:e3:91:19:86: 7a:d4 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIDDzCCAnigAwIBAgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADCBjjELMAkGA1UERhMCVVMx DjAMBgNVBAgTBVRleGFzMRMwEQYDVQQKEwpCaWd0aW1lIENBMRAwDgYDVQQLEwdT aWduZXJzMRwwGgYDVQQDExNJbnRlZ3JhdGlvbiBSb290IENBMSowKAYJKoZIhvcN AQkBFhtqb2huLmthbmVAcHJvZGVhc3lzdGV3cy5jb20wHhcNMDkwNTI4MDQzNzEz WhcNMTIwNTI3MDQzNzEzWjCBjjELMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMxDjAMBgNVBAgTBVRleGFz MRMwEQYDVQQKEwpCaWd0aW1lIENBMRAwDgYDVQQLEwdTaWduZXJzMRwwGgYDVQQD ExNJbnRlZ3JhdGlvbiBSb290IENBMSowKAYJKoZIhvcNAQkBFhtqb2huLmthbmVA cHJvZGVhc3lzdGVtcy5jb20wgZ8wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQE1BQADgY0AMIGJAoGBALO/ 8BhdflcKzhU8KCqBbebFMZh+xAkD0ijyMz6IEV994RgzNX31+p2JqJUWCACBCCms N7OxK/MgUhXXGUSSnEXnLlj+fgfUH1qtWZE3hBSoTd9UomJmOJvwz0gBaA06fJOD AkjgdqFc+QU7SR4Dmv3q7nn3h2aWsGl54eYavZ4NAgMBAAGjezB5MAkGA1UdEwQC MAAwLAYJYIZIAYb4QgENBB8WHU9wZW5TU0wgR2VuZXJhdGVkIENlcnRpZmljYXRl MB0GA1UdDgQWBBQL+30LDRejzXkCo6OSVxVv3jgHPfAfBgNVHSMEGDAWgBQL+30L DRejzXkCo6OSVxVv3jgHPDANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFAAOBgQAoUj2ckOGJANedOwam MijowI2dWgt5uxrJGo3GOqXsXUyfIEzGHkHffdD8RQkrS3z/OKrqM6BKvnyEfFjo mJ7JDktbEcYohLE/uzAD9jhAny0yvDqXuG/9qp9npicHU7JAQYa3AvJrB28bdIdo OxuJEwjLNvA8O17W3+ORGYZ61A== -----END CERTIFICATE----- This message is confidential to Prodea Systems, Inc unless otherwise indicated or apparent from its nature.

Re: 2.4.16 performance issues

Thanks again, just one more question. Openldap 2.4.16 depends on BDB 4.4 or higher, right ?

Thanks for your reply, Quanah I red some links: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=421946 http://www.mail-archive.com/openldap-software@openldap.org/msg15013.html http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg627930.html So, the abstract is: bdb 4.2 is good. bdb 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7: should be used with the compiling options: --enable-posixmutexes --with-mutex=POSIX/pthreads and debian packages do not use these options. Correct ? Thanks again.

2.4.16 performance issues
by jakjr 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Hello Guys, Last week we upgraded our openldap server from version 2.3.30-5 (debian lenny package) to 2.4.16 (compilation). There wasn't any big changes on config files (slapd.conf and DB_CONFIG). Our server is heavily used (samba + webservices + web applications) in a total of 15 millions operations per day. After the upgrade the new openldap server presented some strange behavior. The ports (389 and 636) sometimes were in a filtered state, denying any new connections and the load of the server was incredibly high. No index or memory problem was detected. My suspecion is about debian etch and its packages version (berkley db, gcc). Any tips ? Best regards, João Alfredo

server redundancy setup
by Rex Roof 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

I'm migrating our existing openLDAP 2.3 servers into a new setup running openLDAP 2.4. I will eventually have 4 or 5 servers, hopefully all having the same synchronized data, and all accepting writes, if need be. Can anyone suggest a configuration where I have 4 servers, all keeping themselves in sync, and all accepting writes? Can multimaster replication work with more than two servers? Is that the right solution here? -Rex

using -y option for ldapsearch
by Sai 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Hi All, I am trying and writing a script to use ldapsearch. But I want to create a password file and use the "-y" option. I am unable to figure out how to create one. ================================== ldapsearch -x -h <Machine> -p <port> -s one -D <CN> -b <BASE_DN> -y pwdfile -v "(&(cn=fm*))" cn ================================== I tried the following. 1) I tried putting the plaintext password for <CN> in the file and it did not work. 2) I ran slappasswd to generate the hashed password for <CN> and directed the output to this file and it did not work. 3) The file permissions I tried are 700 and 600. What is this "-y" option and am I interpreting it correctly? Is there a specific format that this file should be in? Version Info: ================================== $ rpm -qa|egrep openldap openldap-clients-2.2.13-12.el4 openldap-2.2.13-12.el4 openldap-devel-2.2.13-12.el4 openldap-servers-2.2.13-12.el4 $ ================================== Any help is greatly appreciated. -Sai

Deleting records while iterating through ldap_result
by Stephen 31 May '09

31 May '09

Hi everyone, I'm using the C SDK and writing a program to prune old directory records. The core logic of the program could go something like this:- rc = ldap_search_ext( ld, .. <rest of parameters> ); while (!done) { rc = ldap_result( ld, .. <rest of parameters>, &searchResult) ; //Delete records matching criteria dn = ldap_get_dn( ld, searchResult ); rc = ldap_delete_ext_s( ld, dn, .. <rest of parameters>); } ------- I have two questions and they are probably related:- Firstly: Can I delete records while iterating through the results of the ldap search? (In higher level languages deleting an item from a collection while navigating through a collection is often bad form. Is that the case here?) Secondly: Can I use the same session handle to delete the records as is used for the search? In the logic above, the session handle is ld, and ld is used for both the search and for the deletion. (I'm expecting I would need to use a different session handle for the logic above to work. Alternatively one could save all the records to be deleted in an array and then after the search loop, the same session handle can be used for all the deletes). Thank you Stephen

Cannot bind/connect to server outside the LAN
by Stelios A. 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hello all, I need help in three problems that I'm facing with my OpenLDAP implementation please. First problem: I'm able to connect to my LDAP server on 636 port without a problem from the same subnet but not outside the Internet. What I want to achieve is to be able to connect from a particular range of static IP's. The ACL part of my slapd.conf is: access to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange by dn="uid=authenticate,ou=System,dc=example.com" read by dn="uid=myusername,ou=Users,ou=bca,dc=example.com" read by anonymous auth by self write access to attrs=givenName,sn,cn,mail by dn="uid=syncrepl,ou=system,dc=example.com" read by anonymous peername.ip=some_static_ip read by anonymous peername.ip=some_static_ip read by anonymous peername.ip=some_static_ip read by anonymous peername.ip=some_static_ip read by self read by users auth by anonymous auth access to attrs=uid by anonymous read by users read access to dn.regex="^.*,uid=([^,]+),ou=Users,dc=example.com$" by dn.exact,expand="uid=$1,ou=Users,dc=example.com" write access to * by dn.exact="uid=authenticate,ou=System,dc=example.com" none by users none break by self read by users read by * none 2nd problem: The following ACL does not work at all or I'm doing something wrong: access to attrs=givenName,sn,cn,mail by dn="uid=syncrepl,ou=system,dc=example.com" read by anonymous peername.ip=some_static_ip read by anonymous peername.ip=some_static_ip read by anonymous peername.ip=some_static_ip read by anonymous peername.ip=some_static_ip read by self read by users auth by anonymous auth I can't bind as anonymous from 'some_static_ip' in order to fetch the mail, givenName etc into the Thunderbird address book for example. 3rd problem and last! If I reboot the master server then the slave does not bind correctly and email etc does not work at all even though it is configured on that server (slave). Also when I reboot the servers, master must come up first as otherwise I'm not able to connect until I reboot the slave server. Both servers running on Ubuntu 9.04 if that matters in any way. See output: root@masterldap:/etc/ldap# dpkg -l slapd Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii slapd 2.4.15-1ubuntu OpenLDAP server (slapd) I have also attached the whole slapd.conf file of my master server in case that helps more. Any help, suggestion is much appreciated.
