Exporting LDAP info from Active Directory / Exchange Global Address List
by Clemson, Chris (IHG) 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

Hi everyone, Hopefully I'm now sending this to the right list, apologies if not.... I am trying to find a way of exporting most information from the GAL into an LDAP server. It seems that OpenLDAP might do what I want, however I'm relatively new to using LDAP, so I was wondering if someone could give me a few pointers on how to do this. It sounds like I need to use a slapd as a Proxy Cache Engine, so I can cache an AD query (preferably the equivalent of the Exchange GAL) into OpenLDAP. People can then use the OpenLDAP server as a Directory source in Outlook without needing to log in to anything. I need to do something like this so that people who do not have access to the Exchange Servers can see (and therefore email) accounts in Exchange. I have found some mailing list articles that allude to this, but nothing specific. Thank you, Chris

password-hashing scheme
by Vinh.CTR.Hoang＠faa.gov 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi, I'm have trouble trying to get a ldap client be authenicated by the the ldap server. I think the problem is that I might have the hash scheme configured wrongly or something like that. I'm on solaris 9 with Openldap 2.3.35. I have the password set as "clear" in the ldap.conf and password-hash as {MD5} in slapd.conf. Am I safe to assume that with these settings, it means that the client will be sent the passwords over the server as clear text and the server will hash it to MD5 before checking against its stored password list? If it is not the case, then how should I configure the client and server to be the case? Thanks, Vinh

Best method to set access permissions to third parties application with LDAP
by Benjamin Watine 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hello the list, I have to use LDAP to define access permissions for many third parties applications. So, I wonder what is the best way to organize my LDAP tree. I see two possibilities : - Set a LDAP group for each access level of each application, and create users that belongs to those groups. ex : GlobalServiceGroup | |__Application1Group | |__guestGroup | | |__user1 | | |__user2 | |__userGroup | | |__user3 | | |__user4 | |__adminGroup | |__Application2Group |__devTeamGroup | |__user1 | |__user2 | |__user3 | |__user4 |__testTeamGroup |__adminTeamGroup The problem of this solution is that I have to set a lot of groups, so my LDAP tree would became very complex to administrate. - Another way would be to define my own LDAP classes, with an attribute for each application that define the access level (guest, user, admin, etc). The problem of this solution is that I'm not anymore in the standard LDAP schema, and loose interoperability with standards LDAP clients. What is the best way to set that. Is there is another possibility than the two I mentioned before ? Thank you ! Ben

Pagination behavior using ldap_ctrl_paged
by Faraz R. Khan 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi, Is there anyway I can navigate back and forth using the paged results control? The only thing I can currently use is going forward a certain pageSize. I realize this is exactly as per the RFC (2696) but is there anyway I can achieve back and forth pagination (pageSize = -3 for example)? Thank you. -- Faraz R Khan Chief Architect Emergen Consulting Pvt Ltd www.emergen.biz

Hi, In case of ldap_search_ext_s: We can pass,how many entries we want. In my case i can retrieve only 100 entries at a time due to the size limit of my buffer. But the ldap search which i am using will return 1000 entries. Is there any way through which i can retrieve 1000 entries in chunks of 100. first time i will fetch 100 entries then again next 100 entries then again next 100 entries..... ... ... In this way i will retrieve all the entries. Please tell me the way of fetching entries from LDAP. -- Thanks Rakesh Yadav
