Manipulation of Request data
by derwyn 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

Hi All, I'm a novice in LDAP. But wanted to know if it was possible to mangle request coming to ldap. Eg. I have my ldap data with uid=someuser but the request coming in is uid=someuser(a)somedomain.com Is it possible to add some rule in slapd.conf or ldap.conf to do this kind of manipulation. I'm not using sasal.

openLDAP & memberof
by Gene Kupfer 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Hi all, I've been doing some research and I'm finding that there is no support for a "memberof" type attribute for user objects. When I query groups that have "memberuid" attributes, I get the group name but not the members. Is there any way around this? Maybe some other attribute I can add to the user object that will create a link between it and the group object and allow me to enumerate group members? Thank you, Gene

Server and client setup for connecting Solaris to an openldap server.
by Chavez, James R. 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Hello all, I have set up a Red Hat Linux box with the Openldap server. I am looking to replace our existing NIS infrastructure with Openldap. The majority of the clients are Solaris 8 with a third of them being Solaris 10. I have been able to connect Red Hat clients to authenticate through LDAP but I am having issues with the Solaris client configuration. I see some stuff on the net but nothing concrete on how to get this working. I see some sites mention a solaris schema but I not found been able to locate that anywhere. Is this something that is possible? I am sure it is but i am relatively new to LDAP. Should I be looking at the Solaris native LDAP server? I have openldap-servers-2.3.27-8 installed on RHEL4. The schemas listed in my slapd.conf are.. include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema Thank you James CONFIDENTIALITY This e-mail message and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

LDAP Connection
by Manjunath Warad 16 Apr '08

16 Apr '08

Hi All, I have few queries on LDAP connection. I searched in the archieve but failed to get clarified. 1. Why LDAP server should terminate session if it fails to parse message. It can either send failure response or drop that particular message expecting a proper message from the client next time. Quote from RFC 4511 "If the server receives an LDAPMessage from the client in which the LDAPMessage SEQUENCE tag cannot be recognized, the messageID cannot be parsed, the tag of the protocolOp is not recognized as a request, or the encoding structures or lengths of data fields are found to be incorrect, then the server SHOULD return the Notice of Disconnection described in Section 4.4.1, with the resultCode set to protocolError, and MUST immediately terminate the LDAP session as described in Section 5.3." "and MUST immediately terminate the LDAP session as described in" 2. How it should be dealt with requests received by server while processing BIND request? Is it dropped or cached and processed later? RFC Quote "Similarly, servers SHOULD NOT process or respond to requests received while processing a BindRequest." regards, Manjunath **************************************************************************** *********** This e-mail and attachments contain confidential information from HUAWEI, which is intended only for the person or entity whose address is listed above.

Replication failed using slapadd
by Paul Lee 16 Apr '08

16 Apr '08

Dear sir, I am using openldap 2.4.8 and config as 3 way masters, the slapd.connf is shown below : syncrepl rid=001 provider=ldap://202.245.193.128:389/ bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=Manager" credentials=secret searchbase="o=HKSARG" schemachecking=off type=refreshAndPersist attrs="*,+" retry="1 +" interval=00:00:01:00 syncrepl rid=002 provider=ldap://10.166.23.218:389/ bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=Manager" credentials=secret searchbase="o=HKSARG" schemachecking=off type=refreshAndPersist attrs="*,+" retry="1 +" interval=00:00:01:00 syncrepl rid=003 provider=ldap://10.0.1.34:389/ bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=Manager" credentials=secret searchbase="o=HKSARG" schemachecking=off type=refreshAndPersist attrs="*,+" retry="1 +" interval=00:00:01:00 Then, I startup 2 servers (rid= 002 and rid=003), I execute the command in sever 1 (i.e. rid=001) : slapadd -l import.ldif to import 3 entries to the ldap servers. Then, I startup server 1 (rid = 001) and use the command ldapsearch to retrieve the entries, find that all 3 entries are added in server 1, however, when I retrieve the records in server 2 and server 3, only the 1st record is added. Any idea of what's wrong ? Thanks Confidential Communication - This e-mail (including any attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Problem searching LDAP
by Nuno Manuel Martins 16 Apr '08

16 Apr '08

While trying to debug my problems with authentication I discovered the problem was with searching the LDAP entries. If I search my database by the CN field I get this output: ldapsearch -D "cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com" -x -W "cn=myuser" # myuser, Users, example.com dn: uid=myuser,o=Users,dc=example,dc=com uid: myuser cn: myUser objectClass: account objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: top objectClass: shadowAccount shadowLastChange: 13789 shadowMax: 99999 shadowWarning: 7 loginShell: /bin/bash uidNumber: 10002 gidNumber: 10001 homeDirectory: /home/ldap/john gecos: myUser (LDAP) userPassword:: <stuff> It seems pretty normal to me and working. However, if I try to search with "uid=myuser" nothing is returned. What is more, if I instead search with "uid=myuser*" the entry is returned successfully, which tells me that somewhere on the LDAP structure I probably have a problem with strange characters. Is there a way to efficiently correct this or do I have to import everything again? Of course, I could be wrong in my assumption... anything else that could be causing this behaviour besides strange "invisible" characters on UID field? Thank you, Nuno
