May 2011 - 389-users - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Chris Bryant

When configuring Microsoft Outlook (not Outlook Express) to access an LDAP directory, there is an option to 'Enable Browsing (requires server support)'. If this option is chosen and the directory server supports it, then you should be able to open the LDAP address book and page up and down through the results. I have been unable to get this working properly with 389 DS. When I try to browse from Outlook against the 389 DS directory, I am able to see the first page of results perfectly. However, if I move to the next page, only the first object returned will have any attributes included, and all of the rest of the objects in the page will have no attributes. I have a test perl script that duplicates this functionality as well. I can get this to work properly with an older version of Netscape Directory Server, and I can get it working with OpenDS. Since 389 DS advertises support for the controls that are required for this to work, just like the other two servers, then I would expect it to work there also. Has anyone out there gotten this to work with 389 DS? If so, can you share if there was anything special that you needed to do to get this to work? I'm trying to determine if this is a bug in the server, or if I'm just missing something in the configuration. Thanks, Chris USA.NET You Run Your Business. We'll Run Your Email.

Views, Filtered roles and CoS

by Colin Panisset

I have a pretty flat DIT, with all users currently under ou=people,dc=example,dc=com; these user objects also have posixAccount attributes, of which loginShell is one. What I'm trying to achieve is to be able to set a "default" loginShell to be a restricted shell (/bin/rbash) for developers, but allow that to be a non-restricted shell on systems which are development hosts. As an example, on a production host I'd like: $ ldapsearch -x "(uid=devuser)" uid loginshell to return: dn: cn=Dev User,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com loginShell: /bin/rbash uid: devuser while on a development host, I'd like the same search to return dn: cn=Dev User,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com loginShell: /bin/bash uid: devuser I thought I might be able to achieve this by creating a view called ou=Developers,dc=example,dc=com and using that as a base DN on the development boxes, then applying a CoS within the view to override the loginShell attribute, but then the CoS ends up being applied to the original entry too. Is there any way that I could: - have a CoS apply based on client system attributes, like IP address/hostname? - have a CoS which applies to a view that *doesn't* affect the original object? - perhaps make use of cosPriority through two different views, so as to have ou=Development,... and ou=Production,... (but that would be answered by the previous option anyway)? Is there some other clever way to achieve what I'd like? I'd really like to avoid maintaining 2 separate DITs for the same set of users. -- C.

LDAPCon 2011 Call for Papers

by Peter Gietz

With the usual apologies. The 3rd Edition of the International Conference on LDAP (LDAPCon 2011[1]) will be held on October, 10-11, 2011 in Heidelberg, Germany. A Call For Papers[2] has been raised and the Program Committee asks you to submit abstracts by July 8th. The International Conference on LDAP is a technical forum for IT professionals interested in LDAP and related topics like directory servers, directory management applications, directory integration, identity and access management, and meta directories. It focuses on implementation and integration of LDAP servers and LDAP-enabled client applications. The event will bring together vendors, developers, active and prospective LDAP practitioners to share their experiences about deployment strategies, service operations, interoperability, discuss LDAP usage in new projects and learn about upcoming trends and developments. The 1st LDAPCon[3] was held in September 2007 in Germany, the 2nd LDAPCon[4] was held in September 2009 in Portland, Oregon, USA (Some pictures from LDAPCon 2007 [5] and a nice summary of LDAPCon 2009 [6]) So if you're involved with LDAP in interesting projects and you want to share your experiences, please check the Call For Papers and submit a proposal.

Delete object on Consumer

by Jim Tyrrell

Hi, We have a setup with multiple masters which are replicating down to 389 Directory Server consumers via 2 hubs, but have a consistency issue. It appears a few objects were deleted and re-added to the masters but the object was not deleted from the 389 consumers. We now have 1 object on the masters and 2 objects on the consumers which causes problems for the mail servers. If we delete the object from the master we are still left with one object on the slaves. The slaves currently have a few duplicate objects like this: dn: cn=mx::10, cn=somedomain.co.uk, ou=dns, o=acmesystems.com cn: mx::10 mailtransport: nexthop:[mailserver.ourdomain.com] dnspreference: 10 dnstype: MX dn: nsuniqueid=7edfa581-1dd211b2-8014f995-55bd0000+cn=mx::10,cn=somedomain.co.uk, ou=dns,o=acmesystems.com cn: mx::10 mailtransport: nexthop:[mailserver.ourdomain.com] dnspreference: 10 dnstype: MX The object showing nsuniqueid is the valid one that exists on the master. Is there a way to remove the 2nd object from the consumer without re-initialising? I have seen this before on a single consumer so we re-initialised it, but its a much bigger problem to re-initialise all of the consumers. It would be ideal if there is a way to manually delete an object direct on a consumer? Thanks. Jim.

Re: [389-users] get base dn from ldapsearch

by Angel Bosch Mora

> Maybe I am understanding this wrong but could you not just check in > the config what the search base is set to on the client side? What is > the problem you are trying to solve? > yes, you're right. i can just take a look at ldap.conf but there's several places to look: - debian/ubuntu uses /etc/ldap/ldap.conf - RHEL/CentOS uses /etc/openldap/ldap.conf - custom compilations can use any path. ex: /usr/local/ldap/ldap.conf - windows openldap uses... i don't really know :P so what im trying to do is resolving configured base without knowing anything about the client. for example, this command gives me the server even if i dont know anything about the conf: ldapsearch -d1 -x -LLL "(uid=example)" uid 2>&1 | grep ldap_connect_to_host im just a little bit surprised that i can't find any debuglevel that gives me the BASE abosch

Windows Sync Agreement Help

by Albert Teh

Hi, We are setting up a new CENTOS-DS version 8.1.0. and CENTOS 5.5 and attempt to synchronize with the existing 2003 Windows AD server. Performing the full sync completed. There is no user created in the DS subtree. We would like to perform one way Sync: AD ----> DS. Once it works, we will set up the password Sync from the AD to DS. AD: cn=Users,cn=location,dc=ad,dc=domain,dc=com DS: ou=Peoples,dc=domain,dc=com errors log: [26/May/2011:10:20:34 -0400] NSMMReplicationPlugin - Beginning total update of replica "agmt="cn=ADsync" (wodcstage-1:389)".

"no mechanism available" from CLI

by Andreas-Johann Ulvestad

Short story: After setting up 389 and adding users I attempt to run ldappasswd on a test user. The error message I get is: SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method (-6) additional info: SASL(-4): no mechanism available: Long story: I installed Fedora 15 and then 389 via yum. All packages were downloaded without any problems and setup-ds-admin.pl had no problems either. I then launched the admin console and added two test users with POSIX accounts. After this, I launched authconfig-tui and configured it as so: User Information: Cache, use LDAP Authentication: shadow passwords, LDAP auth, local auth sufficient No TLS Server ldap://localhost Base DN: dc=k,dc=unicornis,dc=no As said earlier, ldappasswd doesn't work (I use ldappasswrd -h localhost). However, ldapsearch works (see attached output). I appreciate any feedback on how to start debugging this :-).

Thunderbird/Squirrelmail - common address book? LDAP?

by Philip Rhoades

People, I have previously been asking questions about importing a TB addressbook book here and I think I can see how I can do that now but I guess I should ask a more fundamental question: Is using an LDAP server the best way of getting a commonly accessible addressbook for both TB and SM? Even if I could use a setup like that, there is still no way TB can automatically update the LDAP DB for mails that go out to new email addresses . . It seems that LDAP is the only common addressbook possibility between TB and SQ but that solution is not completely satisfactory either . . Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades GPO Box 3411 Sydney NSW 2001 Australia E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au
