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, I’m 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
