hardware requirement
by mukim pathan 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

Hi, I have to setup a database for storing 100million entries, each entry with 4 columns. I will be using centOS linux OS for this. I checked previous queries regarding hardware, I found that with 32 bit machine, processing might get slow for 20million above records. I want to ask what should be the hardware configuration for this? Thank you in advance. Regards, Mukim Pathan

Hello, I have such RDN cn=user1,dc=example,dc=com but my webmail software knows users only by emails (which is attribute to cn=user1,dc=example,dc=com) My question is how can i authenticate in LDAP using provided email?

solaris patch vs. linux patch
by Brett ＠Google 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

Hello, Just wondering if anybody knows why solaris patch refuses to process the bdb 4.7 patch files, where the patch command on linux works perfectly. Ie: on solaris : patch -p0 <patch.4.7.25.1 Looks like a context diff to me... Hunk #1 failed at line 187. Hunk #3 failed at line 296. 2 out of 4 hunks failed: saving rejects to sequence/sequence.c.rej done Works fine on a linux machine ? Have tried patch 2.5.9 built from soruce on gnu.org, this fails also. (i usually end up patching on linux, and then copying the patched tarball back to solaris.. but just wondering?) Cheers Brett

password change and ppolicy
by tizo 10 Jun '09

10 Jun '09

Hi there, We are using OpenLDAP 2.4.16 with ppolicy, to authenticate users for a JEE application. Authentication works great (with JNDI), and we are receiving ppolicy response controls without problem. In that way, the user knows when the password is about to expired, when the password have been reseted, etc. Now we want to offer users to change passwords from the application. Before starting this, I have been testing password changing with phpLDAPAdmin. The fact is that I could only change a user password with clear text. I guess that this behaviour happens because we have pwdCheckQulity setting in 2 in our default password policy. So, when the client (phpLDAPAdmin) tries to modify the password enconding it, the server (OpenLDAP) cannot check the min length of the password, as it is encoded, and then fails. I am guessing too, that phpLDAPAdmin is performing a simple modify operation to change the password, as it is stored in clear text. On the other hand, I could change passwords with ldappasswd withouth problem, and they are stored with SSHA. I know that this command uses RFC 3062. So, I am wondering which is the best way to change the password from a Java application. I guess that, if I have pwdCheckQulity setting in 2, the password should travel in clear text, so that ppolicy can check its min lenght for example. But I would like it to be stored encoded. How could I do that?. Do I have to use RFC 3062?. Do you know any Java implementation of the client side for that RFC?. Thanks very much, tizo

CRL question
by joakim＠comex.se 10 Jun '09

10 Jun '09

Hi, I'm using Openldap with TLS and CRL. My slapd.conf file has the line "TLSCRLCheck all". When the CRL has expired the client is not allowed to make a TLS connection. My question is whether it is possible to configure openldap to let the client connect to the server (possibly with a warning) even when the CRL has expired. Does anyone know if that is possible? /Jocke ########################################### This message has been scanned by F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.
