Hi! I'm trying to implement a Kerberos server using an OpenLdap backend on a server called *ldap1.vm* and replicate those on an other called *ldap2.vm*. My first server is working fine. Each kerberos principal is stored in his own ldap entry (with the krbPrincipalName attribut). For exemple : user1(a)EXEMPLE.COM --> uid=user1,ou=people,dc=exemple,dc=com ldap/ldap2.vm.exemple.com(a)EXEMPLE.COM --> cn=ldap2.vm,ou=ldap,dc=exemple,dc=com I wish to replicate either the cn=config DIT and the dc=exemple,dc=com DIT to my second server. So in my *cn=config* DIT on *ldap1.vm* I have the following configuration : ========================================================== dn: cn=config objectClass: olcGlobal cn: config olcArgsFile: /var/run/slapd/slapd.args olcAuthzRegexp: {0}uid=admin,cn=exemple.com,cn=gssapi,cn=auth cn=admin,dc=exemple,dc=com olcAuthzRegexp: {1}uid=ldap\/(.*).exemple.com,cn=exemple.com,cn=gssapi,cn=auth cn=$1,ou=ldap,dc=exemple,dc=com olcAuthzRegexp: {2}uid=host\/(.*).exemple.com,cn=exemple.com,cn=gssapi,cn=auth cn=$1,ou=hosts,dc=exemple,dc=com olcAuthzRegexp: {3}uid=(.*),cn=exemple.com,cn=gssapi,cn=auth uid=$1,ou=people,dc=exemple,dc=com olcSaslRealm: EXEMPLE.COM olcServerID: 1 ldap://ldap1.vm.exemple.com/ olcServerID: 2 ldap://ldap2.vm.exemple.com/ olcLogLevel: stats olcPidFile: /var/run/slapd/slapd.pid olcToolThreads: 1 dn: cn=module{0},cn=config objectClass: olcModuleList cn: module{0} olcModulePath: /usr/lib/ldap olcModuleLoad: {0}back_hdb olcModuleLoad: {1}syncprov dn: olcBackend={0}hdb,cn=config objectClass: olcBackendConfig olcBackend: {0}hdb dn: olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig objectClass: olcFrontendConfig olcDatabase: {-1}frontend olcAccess: {0}to * by dn.exact=gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external ,cn=auth manage by * break olcAccess: {1}to dn.exact="" by * read olcAccess: {2}to dn.base="cn=Subschema" by * read olcSizeLimit: 500 dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig olcDatabase: {0}config olcAccess: {0}to * by dn.exact=gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external ,cn=auth manage by * break olcRootDN: *cn=admin,cn=config* dn: olcOverlay={0}syncprov,olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config objectClass: olcOverlayConfig objectClass: olcSyncProvConfig olcOverlay: {0}syncprov olcSpCheckpoint: 100 10 olcSpSessionlog: 100 dn: olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig objectClass: olcHdbConfig olcDatabase: {1}hdb olcDbDirectory: /var/lib/ldap olcSuffix: dc=exemple,dc=com olcAccess: {0}to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange by dn="cn=admin,dc=exemple,dc=com" write by dn.one="ou=ldap,dc=exemple,dc=com" read by anonymous auth by * none olcAccess: {1}to dn.subtree="dc=exemple,dc=com" by dn="cn=adm-srv,ou=krb5,dc=exemple,dc=com" write by dn="cn=kdc-srv,ou=krb5,dc=exemple,dc=com" read by dn="cn=admin,dc=exemple,dc=com" write by dn.one="ou=ldap,dc=exemple,dc=com" read olcAccess: {2}to attrs=loginShell by self write by users read by * none olcAccess: {3}to dn.base="" by * read olcAccess: {4}to * by users read by * none olcAccess: {5}to dn="cn=config" by dn.one="ou=ldap,dc=exemple,dc=com" write olcLastMod: TRUE olcRootDN: cn=admin,dc=exemple,dc=com olcRootPW: {SSHA}7JR5Gh0ZUbw9U4cVytBrChBjXuPAdLKh olcDbCheckpoint: 512 30 olcDbConfig: {0}set_cachesize 0 2097152 0 olcDbConfig: {1}set_lk_max_objects 1500 olcDbConfig: {2}set_lk_max_locks 1500 olcDbConfig: {3}set_lk_max_lockers 1500 olcDbIndex: objectClass eq olcDbIndex: uid eq olcDbIndex: cn eq olcDbIndex: ou eq olcDbIndex: dc eq olcDbIndex: uidNumber eq olcDbIndex: gidNumber eq olcDbIndex: memberUid eq olcDbIndex: uniqueMember eq olcDbIndex: krbPrincipalName eq,pres,sub olcDbIndex: krbPwdPolicyReference eq dn: olcOverlay={0}syncprov,olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config objectClass: olcOverlayConfig objectClass: olcSyncProvConfig olcOverlay: {0}syncprov olcSpCheckpoint: 100 10 olcSpSessionlog: 100 ========================================================== And on the ldap2.vm i wanna replicate the cn=config DIT first: ========================================================== dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig olcDatabase: {0}config olcAccess: {0}to * by dn.exact=gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth manage by * break olcRootDN: cn=admin,cn=config olcSyncrepl: {0}rid=001 provider="ldap://ldap1.vm.exemple.com/" type=refreshAndPersist retry="10 30 30 +" searchbase="cn=config" bindmethod=sasl saslmech=gssapi ========================================================== There is no olcMirrorMode attributes because I wanna add other provider directives later. Every 10 secondes, i see those logs: ========================================================== conn=1001 fd=13 ACCEPT from IP=192.168.x.x:57695 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) conn=1001 op=0 BIND dn="" method=163 conn=1001 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=14 text=SASL(0): successful result: conn=1001 op=1 BIND dn="" method=163 conn=1001 op=1 RESULT tag=97 err=14 text=SASL(0): successful result: conn=1001 op=2 BIND dn="" method=163 conn=1001 op=2 BIND authcid="ldap/ldap2.vm.exemple.com(a)EXEMPLE.COM" authzid="ldap/ldap2.vm.exemple.com(a)EXEMPLE.COM" conn=1001 op=2 BIND dn="cn=ldap2.vm,ou=ldap,dc=exemple,dc=com" mech=GSSAPI sasl_ssf=56 ssf=56 conn=1001 op=2 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= conn=1001 op=3 SRCH base="cn=config" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(objectClass=*)" conn=1001 op=3 SRCH attr=* + findbase failed! 32 conn=1001 op=3 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=32 nentries=0 text= conn=1001 op=4 UNBIND conn=1001 fd=13 closed ========================================================== We see that the olcAuthzRegexp do is job, indeed, the authcid="ldap/ldap2.vm.exemple.com(a)EXEMPLE.COM" from the ticket (I use Kstart to obtain it) become dn="cn=ldap2.vm,ou=ldap,dc=exemple,dc=com". But it fail to find the cn=config DIT. Here is the entry on my ldap database: ========================================================== dn: cn=ldap2.vm,ou=ldap,dc=exemple,dc=com objectClass: ipHost objectClass: device objectClass: top objectClass: krbPrincipalAux objectClass: krbTicketPolicyAux cn: ldap2.vm ipHostNumber: 192.168.x.x structuralObjectClass: device entryUUID: afe9a32a-81a3-1032-85b7-7976b72b0c24 creatorsName: cn=admin,dc=exemple,dc=com createTimestamp: 20130715140754Z krbPrincipalName: ldap/ldap2.vm.exemple.com(a)EXEMPLE.COM krbLoginFailedCount: 0 krbPrincipalKey:: [...] krbPasswordExpiration: 19700101000000Z krbLastPwdChange: 20130715140838Z krbExtraData:: AAJmAuRRYWRtaW5ASU5URVJORS5PQlNFUlZBVE9JUkVERVNNQVJRVUVTLkZSAA= = krbExtraData:: AAgBAA== authzTo: {0}dn.regex:*cn=admin,cn=config* entryCSN: 20130716154135.008692Z#000000#001#000000 modifiersName: cn=admin,dc=exemple,dc=com modifyTimestamp: 20130716154135Z ========================================================== The authzTo directive allow, i think, this entry to act as cn=admin,cn=config and to see the cn=config DIT, am I wrong? How can I do what I want? This configuration works well when I try to synchronise the dc=exemple,dc=com DIT. Regards, Quentin
