Expired password notification
by Andris Eiduks 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

Hi! We use OpenLDAP for user's authentication. And now also implemented password policy. Authentication from Tomcat works without problem but customers find out about expired passwords only after unsuccessful binding when all limits are exceeded. ldapsearch with option "-e ppolicy" shows info about necessary password change. Is possible to get the same info by BIND operation performing from other systems side again OpenLDAP? Or we must create special functions in application for user attributes checking (pwdChangedTime, pwdGraceUseTime) and notification generation ? Thanks in advance,

Subtree renames and memberOf handling
by Andrew Bartlett 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

I perhaps should have flagged this earlier, but I wanted to actually have the test to prove it. It appears that subtree renames and the memberOf plugin are not handled correctly. That is: I create cn=ldaptestuser4,cn=ldaptestcontainer,DC=samba,DC=example,DC=com I add it to a group: dn: cn=ldaptestgroup2,cn=users,DC=samba,DC=example,DC=com changetype: modify add: member member: cn=ldaptestuser4,cn=ldaptestcontainer,DC=samba,DC=example,DC=com Then I rename the container CN=ldaptestcontainer,DC=samba,DC=example,DC=com into CN=ldaptestcontainer2,DC=samba,DC=example,DC=com However, when I search: [abartlet@naomi source]$ bin/ldbsearch -H st/dc/private/sam.ldb "cn=ldaptestgroup2" # record 1 dn: CN=ldaptestgroup2,CN=Users,DC=samba,DC=example,DC=com member: cn=ldaptestuser,cn=useRs,dc=samba,dc=example,dc=com member: cn=ldaptestcomputer,cn=computers,dc=samba,dc=example,dc=com member: cn=ldaptestuser2,cn=users,dc=samba,dc=example,dc=com member: cn=ldaptestuser4,cn=ldaptestcontainer,dc=samba,dc=example,dc=com [abartlet@naomi source]$ bin/ldbsearch -H st/dc/private/sam.ldb "cn=ldaptestuser4" # record 1 dn: CN=ldaptestuser4,CN=ldaptestcontainer2,DC=samba,DC=example,DC=com cn: ldaptestuser4 memberOf: cn=ldaptestgroup2,cn=users,dc=samba,dc=example,dc=com The 'member' attribute on the group is wrong, most likely because such a subtree rename would never cause the memberOf module to fire and notice that this needs updating.

memberOf hidden?
by Andrew Bartlett 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

One of the odd things I've noticed since moving to OpenLDAP managing memberOf is that memberOf is a hidden attribute by default. Is that because it is treated as operational (due to being managed by the module)? I can un-hide it for Samba (I have code that adds a list of attributes to any query for *), but I just wanted to check there wasn't a more elegant way to do it.

LDAP and oracle
by florian.engelmann＠bt.com 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

Hi, We just migrated our unix/linux accounts to LDAP. We decided to migrate every user account that can login (except root) to LDAP. Now we have heavy load on our LDAP systems and I think this is because we also migrated the oracle users that are running our oracle databases. This is because the oracle admins log on the systems using the user the database is running with. I do not know that much about oracle but is it mandatory to administrate an oracle database with the same user? Does it make sense to migrate systemusers to ldap? Florian Engelmann

That for one user is ok but for a lot of users how can i do that - i tried with perl - but without success. Thanks in advanced for any help. luis

Silly details like CN= v cn=
by Andrew Bartlett 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

I've been working on making Samba4 pass it's testsuite with OpenLDAP as a backend. One of my tests does what no LDAP client should do - it applies a case sensitive comparison of the returned DN, compared with what we expect and get from AD. For example, we search for cn=ldaptestmachine and then ensure we get: CN=ldaptestmachine,CN=Users,DC=samba,DC=example,DC=com OpenLDAP returns cn=ldaptestmachine,cn=users,dc=samba,dc=example,dc=com which I'm sure is perfectly valid, but if I can write a bodgy script with case sensitive comparisons, so can an admin or sloppy app. Working in the windows space makes me like to eliminate differences where I can. Can the case of the attribute names (CN and DC) in that DN be made to be UPPER case easily? (Alternately I'll write a filter module on the Samba4 side to do that).

Chain authentication bind configuration
by Dave Stoll 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hello - I seem to have run into a bit of a roadblock with my configuration. I am trying to build an OpenLDAP server which uses ref: entries to chain to two other LDAP servers for user authorization. I have been able to get everything working fine so long as I allow anonymous binding on the servers referenced from OpenLDAP. Unfortunately, the security folks are requesting the OpenLDAP server to force bind credentials for the particular ldap uri. >From man slapd-ldap(5) I see the following: acl-bind ... This identity is by no means implicitly used by the proxy when the client connects anonymously. The idassert-bind feature, instead, in some cases can be crafted to implement that behavior, which is intrinsically unsafe and should be used with extreme care. This directive obsoletes acl-authcDN, and acl- passwd. ... Unfortunately, I¹m having a bit of difficulty finding any documentation supporting the ability to implicitly use a particular bindDN and simple authentication password, regardless of whether the query is anonymous or authenticated. Any help would be welcome. Cheers, Dave -- Dave Stoll echo mac | sed 's/^/dave.stoll(a)/;s/$/.com/'
