Hi all, Wow, it seems to be done ;-) To put it in a nutshell: - apt-get purge MIT-Kerberos* - apt-get install Heimdal* - tried and failed, tried and failed, ... - apt-get purge heimdal*, cyrus*, openldap* - apt-get libssl-dev and libdb dev packages - got cyrus, openldap and heimdal tarballs - configured, compiled, tested, failed, configured, compiled, tested, failed, conf.......... ...... ...... ... --- ... ... --- ... configured, compiled, succeeded! - Followed well known configuration instructions Voila! ldapsearch -Y GSSAPI works ldaps works (without client verification, did not solve that yet, server verification works fine) login with kerberos authentication works (with proxy ticket for the machine, this way I avoid having PLAIN username/password send to slapd) su, id, etc. works Seems, as if doing it by hand is still the best way ;-) Thanks again for your help, Hauke ----- Ursprüngliche Mail ----- Von: "Quanah Gibson-Mount" <quanah(a)zimbra.com&gt; An: "Hauke Coltzau" <hauke.coltzau(a)FernUni-Hagen.de&gt; CC: openldap-software(a)openldap.org Gesendet: Montag, 8.

But that's up to you. ;) I believe that is correct, yes. At Stanford, I had to point slapd at the keytab in a shell script, but I believe that was because I was using SASL/GSSAPI to do replication as well. It's been a while. ;) You can try securing it via startTLS, but nothing blocks a user from still doing it in the clear, unfortunately (i.e., you can reject the non-secured bind, but they'll have already sent their credentials, so anyone sniffing would be able to get them). This howto is completely wrong, and the various folks have asked the author to take it down for years. I'm glad to hear it is not accessible. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Principal Software Engineer Zimbra, Inc -------------------- Zimbra :: the leader in open source messaging and collaboration --
