Re: Client says Can't contact LDAP server, but it can!
by Gustavo Mendes de Carvalho 28 Jul '08

Hi There, I use self signed certificates with OpenLDAP, and everything works fine. Check bellow which commands I used to create this certificate ===> Self signed certificate generation (I am using RHAS 4 Up6) cd /usr/share/ssl rm -fr demoCA /usr/share/ssl/misc/CA -newca openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -nodes -keyout newreq.pem -out newreq.pem /usr/share/ssl/misc/CA -sign ===> putting certificate files to correct place cp demoCA/cacert.pem /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.pem cp newcert.pem /etc/openldap/cacerts/servercrt.pem cp newreq.pem /etc/openldap/cacerts/serverkey.pem chmod 0400 /etc/openldap/cacerts/serverkey.pem chown -R ldap:ldap /etc/openldap/cacerts /etc/init.d/ldap restart ===> putting public certificate files in ldap client machines scp /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.pem root@<ip_client>:/etc/openldap/cacerts/. And set in ldap config files (in ldap client machine) the correct path When generating certificate file, be sure to specify in hostname field "hostname -f" output command. You can try using localhost too I hope it helps you --- Gustavo Mendes de Carvalho email: gmcarvalho(a)gmail.com Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 09:20:23 +0200 From: Buchan Milne <bgmilne(a)staff.telkomsa.net> Subject: Re: Client says Can't contact LDAP server, but it can!

Why would they > have to have a different configuration to talk to the backup LDAP server? They don't necessarily need a different configuration, but it being valid for one server doesn't guarantee it will be valid for another server, especially when it comes to ssl, certificate validation etc. > At the moment, I'm far more interested in getting the second LDAP > server working than I am in having perfect security. Then it's easy, turn off SSL. If you don't want to do that, turn of certificate validation. It's better than exposing keys. Or, ensure that the "CA certificate" that the clients use contains the certificates of the issuer of both of the server certificates, and that the value of the subject CN on both certificates matches the name you use to connect to the servers.

Re: ACL Help Please
by david stackis 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Hi Andrew - I unsubscribe to the openldap-software(a)openldap.org, but subscribe again today. I thought I had this ACL figured out. I'm trying to have users be able to add entries and to access their own address book. I think I have a pretty good start so far, but I'm having difficulty adding entries that only authenticated users have access to. I can add entries using "cn=root,dc=university,dc=edu" without any problems. Right now I have two users, but I'm confused as to how I get entries into their address book. Attached are both my init.ldif, and the slapd.conf I'm using. Any help is appreciated.

id returns no such user
by Stelios A. 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Hello, I have 2 servers, one act as master and other as slave syncing data with syncrepl user without a problem. Suddenly and after adding an index to the slapd.conf (the problem is probably somewhere else but just mentioning the last thing that I did) on the slave server where email is running I'm getting a: id: shipsec: No such user wherever I'm trying to see a users details. Then webmail, pop etc are not working because machine is not able to resolve the users from ldap. Howver, the getent passwd command return with all users from ldap like been local without a problem. All users under /home are like 1700:users insteed of username:users. The problem is only at the slave as If I stop the ldap on the slave then everything works as it use the master for getting the ids. Any idea? -- Stelios A

I need to make management understand. Most primers and/or SSL/TLS howtos should cover this, as it is rather essential for making certificates work. A Google search will help you :-) And please post/quote correctly, i.e. stop top-posting. It breaks context and readability.

Setting up syncrepl, replicated LDAP doesn't work
by John Oliver 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

On my working master server openldap-2.3.27-8 under CentOS 5, I added: overlay syncprov syncprov-checkpoint 100 10 syncprov-sessionlog 100 On the slave server openldap-2.3.27-8.el5_2.4 under CentOS 5.2, I added: syncrepl rid=123 provider=ldaps://primary-ldap-server:636 type=refreshOnly interval=01:00:00:00 searchbase="dc=mydomain,dc=com" filter="(objectClass=*)" scope=sub attrs="*" schemachecking=off bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=syncuser,dc=mydomain,dc=com" credentials=mysecret ldap started on the slave server OK, and /var/lib/ldap has all of the database files. On that server, from the command line, I can: [root@ldap2 ~]# ldapsearch -xLLL -b "dc=mydomain,dc=com" uid=joliver sn givenName cn dn: uid=joliver,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com givenName: John sn: Oliver cn: John Oliver But when I point another machine at that slave server, it won't authenticate: Jul 23 03:06:28 localhost login(pam_unix)[9475]: check pass; user unknown Jul 23 03:06:28 localhost login(pam_unix)[9475]: authentication failure; logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=tty2 ruser= rhost= Jul 23 03:06:28 localhost login[9475]: pam_ldap: ldap_search_s No such object Jul 23 03:06:30 localhost login[9475]: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM (null) FOR joliver, Authentication failure [root@localhost ~]# ldapsearch -H ldaps://ldap2.mydomain.com -b "dc=mydomain,dc=com" uid=joliver sn givenName cn ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) additional info: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed [root@localhost ~]# ldapsearch -H ldap://ldap2.mydomain.com -b "dc=mydomain,dc=com" uid=joliver sn givenName cn SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started Please enter your password: ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Invalid credentials (49) additional info: SASL(-13): user not found: no secret in database When using just ldap:// with ldapsearch, I don't know what password it's asking for. My LDAP password doesn't work, the LDAP admin password doesn't work, the local root password doesn't work... Here's the odd thing. When I started setting this up, the machine that's the primary (and working) LDAP server now was running fedora-ds. I set up OpenLDAP on what is now the slave server, and it worked perfectly. I slapcat'ed it, installed OpenLDAP on the primary server, and slapadded the db. I never generated any certificates on it at all, and it works perfectly. I just regenerated the cert on the slave server, but no joy. -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * ***********************************************************************

mailHost
by Aravind Arjunan 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

hi, i had configured openldap in RHEL 5.1 operating system as master/slave for replication. It is working fine without any problem I had integrated openldap with my mailserver. mail server is in RHEL 5.1 OS and am using postfix. I have two mail box server in different location and two mail servers. unique users are existing in different mail servers The problem is when mail comes for a particular user it must go the respective mail box server. For that i need to mention in openldap a mailHost attribute. as you all know mailHost attribute is for specifying the location of mailbox. But in openldap misc.schema mailHoat attribute exits. When i add the misc.schema in slapd.conf file and if i add the mailHost attribute am getting error when i was restarting. And i had downloaded the qmail.schema from google and added that in schema directory as well as in slapd.conf Then i added the mailHost attribute. But when i specify the mailHost attribute as IP of my mailbox location, the mail is dropping by creating the IP as name.
