[Fedora-directory-users] Using certs from MS CA server
by J Davis 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hello, I have FDS 1.0.4 running using an SSL certificate generated by an Microsoft windows 2003 CA server. I choose this method as opposed to the setupssl.sh script from the wiki because I have read in the list archives that it is the best way to avoid trust issues when setting up PassSync over SSL between FDS and AD. I'm having a hard time finding references for configuring this properly and I know very little about SSL certificates so I'm making some guesses and likely missing a crucial step or two. The problem is that when trying to bind to the FDS using SSL I get certificate verification errors. > # ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://localhost/ > ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) > additional info: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed Here's how I set up the certificates... 1. Generated a CSR using the FDS console wizard and submitted it to the MS CA. 2. Imported the CA certificate (called "it") and the signed "server-cert" resulting from step 1 from the MS CA using the FDS admin console. 3. Enabled SSL (port 636) in the directory server using server-cert from step 1. I used certutil to display the list of certificates in the FDS cert db. > [alias]# ../shared/bin/certutil -L -d . -P slapd-<instance>- > server-cert u,u,u > it CT,, Then verified that "server-cert" was considered valid. > [alias]# ../shared/bin/certutil -V -n server-cert -e -u V -d . -P slapd-<instance>- > Enter Password or Pin for "NSS Certificate DB": > certutil-bin: certificate is valid I also verified that that I can connect using openssl client. > # openssl s_client -connect localhost:636 -showcerts -CAfile /path/to/it_ca.crt --snip-- > Verify return code: 0 (ok) > --- Any hints as to what I might be doing wrong are greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Jake

[Fedora-directory-users] What is syncronized?
by Dennis Crissman 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

The name PassSync would indicate that this utility synchronizes passwords, can anything else be sync'd? I need to be able to sync all of the following: users, groups, systems, email addresses, and passwords, etc. Can PassSync do all that? If not is there another utility you might recommend, either using FDS or not? -- The sender of this email subscribes to Perimeter Internetworking's email anti-virus service.

[Fedora-directory-users] disallow_pw_change_aci problem
by Omer Faruk Sen 11 Jul '07

Hi, I have installed fedora-ds 1.0.4 to Fedora 6 server. I am trying to install mail ldap cluster. I have added a domain like dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com and added a virtual domain like ou=virtdomain.com,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com after adding a user like: uid=user,ou=virtdomain.com,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com and changing its password gives me that error: aci: (targetattr = "userPassword") ( version 3.0; acl "disallow_pw_change_aci"; deny (write ) userdn = "ldap:///self";) I have read http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/acl.html and added an aci like: aci: (targetattr="userPassword || homePhone || homePostalAddress") (version 3.0; acl "Write my.domain.com"; allow (write) userdn= "ldap:///self";) for ou=virtdomain.com,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com But I still get aci: (targetattr = "userPassword") ( version 3.0; acl "disallow_pw_change_aci"; deny (write ) userdn = "ldap:///self";) error. How can I disable disallow_pw_change aci since I couldn't find this aci anywhere using directory admin gui. By the way I think this comes from userRoot database. But I can't find a place to disable disallow_pw_change Best Regards, ____________________________________________________________________________________ Get the free Yahoo! toolbar and rest assured with the added security of spyware protection. http://new.toolbar.yahoo.com/toolbar/features/norton/index.php

[Fedora-directory-users] No X

Is there anything you cannot do with FDS when using the HTTP Control Panel rather than using the X Windows Java Control Panel? Is it highly recommended to use the X Windows Java Control Panel in production? -- "Do the actors on Unsolved Mysteries ever get arrested because they look just like the criminal they are playing?"

Hi, I have a problem with this aci. I have a dn like ou=x.com,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com. I added aci to my dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com as depicted in: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/acl.html I add following aci: (targetattr="userPassword || homePhone || homePostalAddress") (version 3.0; acl "Write my.domain.com"; allow (write) userdn= "ldap:///self";) restart fedora-ds but when i try to change password with uid=user,oid=x.com,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com i get following error: aci: (targetattr = "userPassword") ( version 3.0; acl "disallow_pw_change_aci"; deny (write ) userdn = "ldap:///self";) My question is how can I disable disallow_pw_change_aci. I couldn't find that aci anywhere? By the way as far as I understood child entries inherits parent acis am I right? Because if not there is no explanation to that error Best Regards, -- Omer Faruk Sen http://www.faruk.net

[Fedora-directory-users] UNCLASSIFIED - Linux Client Configurations & LDAP Failover
by HAWKER, Dan 2 (external) 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi All, First off, apologies for the tagline. Work has gone mad ensuring we tag all outgoing emails with appropriate classifications. Very irritating :( Anyway... Not sure if this is strictly OT, however I'm having some trouble configuring my Linux clients to failover to secondary FDS boxes quickly enough. By that I mean, it all works (ppl can login, get home dirs, etc) however, despite adding a second FDS server to the clients ldap.conf file, and fiddling with the bind_timelimit and other settings (with no real change), if the first FDS box in the list fails for whatever reason, (panic, scheduled downtime, upgrades, etc) it takes the client(s) some time to failover to using the second LDAP box. During this time general access and logins slow to a crawl until the primary is back up again. My FDS boxes are FC5 with FDS 1.0.2 and my clients are all RHEL4/5 and FC4-7 boxes. BIND is also running on these two FDS boxes, however that fails over as expected. Has anyone some *best practice* guidelines/docs they can point me towards or some personal experiences/anecdotes so I can hopefully configure my clients such that a failure in a FDS box is almost un-noticeable by my clients boxes.
