Hi group,

I have been fighting the whole day already for something that I think is quite simple but I just can't get it to work: have slapd authenticate users against kerberos. Following many tutorials, trying many things, I give up on that and ask for your help.

System: Debian Lenny.

Situation:

• workstation logins over the network authenticate against kerberos
• credentials from LDAP
• postfix has its alias database etc in LDAP, as are the groups and

userIDs and everything - helps keeping uids the same on the workstations. Essential for NFS.

• anything using pam will be authenticated against kerberos,

including imap, postfix, etc.

Except LDAP. Then slapd authenticates by itself against the password stored there. And that's not what I want. There should be no passwords in LDAP any more, everything against kerberos. Then at least when a user changes their kerberos password, the same password is used everywhere. I just can't get this to work for some reason. I have followed many tutorials, so many that I forgot what I did, and it still doesn't work.

Slapd should use pam to authenticate, or directly talk to the kerberos server, whatever.

saslauthd has the gssapi module installed.

I have created an ldap/acorn.squirrel@SQUIRREL key, and added this keytab in /etc/defaults/slapd. acorn.squirrel is the fqdn of the server, SQUIRREL is its kerberos realm.

To have slapd use saslauthd for authentication, you'll need to create the file /usr/lib/sasl2/slapd.conf, with these contents:

pwcheck_method: saslauthd mech_list: plain login

and optionally

keytab: /etc/krb5.keytab (which is the standard location)

*If* you intend to perform a PLAIN sasl bind, you'll need this in your /etc/ldap/slapd.conf:

sasl-secprops none

If you're planning on supporting non-sasl binds, but still wish to authenticate via saslauthd, your userPassword entries should look like:

userPassword: {SASL}username@realm

and you'll need to verify that your slapd was compiled with the --enable-spasswd option. See section 4.5 (Pass-Through authentication) of the OpenLDAP Administrators Guide.

You could authenticate against a kerberos5 installation with saslauthd a couple of different ways:

1. Authenticate saslauthd against PAM. Edit /etc/default/saslauthd and specify 'pam' as your authentication backend. You'll then need to configure a kerberos pam module to do that actual work.

2. Authenticate saslauthd against kerberos5 ('kerberos5' in /etc/default/saslauthd). I'm not sure if you need to have a valid ticket granting ticket, or if a proper /etc/krb5.conf is all you need.

Current situation after all the hacking: $ ldapwhoami -x -D 'uid=wouter,ou=people,dc=squirrel' -W -h acorn.squirrel Enter LDAP Password: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) when entering my Kerberos password; it accepts my credentials when I enter the LDAP stored password (a different password).

That requires pass-through authentication.

Then I just did:

wouter@acorn:~$ ldapsearch -LLL -s base -b '' '(objectClass=*)' + SASL/GSSAPI authentication started ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80) wouter@acorn:~$ klist Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1000_5lYS4w Default principal: wouter@SQUIRREL

Kerberos 4 ticket cache: /tmp/tkt1000 klist: You have no tickets cached =======================

Do you have ldap/acorn.squirrel@SQUIRREL in /etc/krb5.keytab, on the server? Is it readable by the slapd user?
