[Fedora-directory-users] Fedora Directory Server 7.1 with CentOS 4.2
by Hariharan R 19 Apr '06

19 Apr '06

Thanks for your reply. As Jim summers said, i am running all the server instances as a same user(root).But still i am not able to run my admin server.When i try to run it it shows the following "server is ready to accept requests at 1800" suddenly the process get detatched.There is no process listening on port 1800. I looked into the "/opt/fedora-ds/start-admin" script.There they are running the following command "./uxwdog -d /opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/config/ $@" I think this is the place the process get struck. My admin-server/log/error file has the following [19/Apr/2006:17:09:59] info ( 9431): successful server startup [19/Apr/2006:17:09:59] info ( 9431): Netscape-Enterprise/6.2 B04/18/2005 13:49 [19/Apr/2006:17:09:59] info ( 9431): Access Host filter is: *.cs.iitm.ernet.in [19/Apr/2006:17:09:59] info ( 9431): Access Address filter is: * [19/Apr/2006:17:09:59] info ( 9432): Installing a new configuration [19/Apr/2006:17:09:59] info ( 9432): [LS ls1] http://lilac.cs.iitm.ernet.in, port 1800 ready to accept requests [19/Apr/2006:17:09:59] info ( 9432): A new configuration was successfully installed Can any one pls guide me. --- Regards, Hariharan.R Hariharan R wrote: Hai, I am trying to install Fedora DS 7.1 on CentOS4.2.

After starting the console i tried to login using admin ID but i am getting error like "URL not found or server not running" When I first started with FDS I hit this also. It seemed like the suggestion that worked for me was to have all of the servers (dir and admin) run as the same user.

[Fedora-directory-users] Idle timeout recommendation
by DeMarco, Dennis 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

Under the performance tab, there is an idle timeout. Does anyone have any recommendations on this? I am not sure keeping it a 0 is good practice. You wouldn't want to keep idle connections open and run out of file descriptors correct? Would 30 seconds seem reasonable? Idle timeout. The time (in seconds) the server maintains an idle connection before terminating the connection. A value of 0 indicates no limit.

[Fedora-directory-users] evolutionperson.schema
by John F. Godfrey, Pastor 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

I've got 2 requests: 1. Anyone written a sysvinit script that works at starting slapd early enough that it can be used for ldap authentication. I'm running FC5, and FDS 1.0.2. 2. Anyone converted evolutionperson.schema to ldif format? Thanks a bunch! john -- John F.

Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Exporting MD5 Hash from FD-DS into /etc/shadow
by DeMarco, Dennis 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

I'll give this a try, but looking at /etc/shadow right now does not look like HEX characters after the $1$. Does anyone know if this is a standard algorithm? Or if /etc/pam can use SHA or another encryption I can easily export out of the directory server? So far my searches seem only MD5 or crypt is what is normal for Redhat. >dennis demarco com wrote: >I would like to export the MD5 hash from the Fedora directory user's password attribute into /etc/shadow of a Linux machine not in LDAP (Redhat). >It appears this isn't working, is there a way for me to do this?

[Fedora-directory-users] Exporting MD5 Hash from FD-DS into /etc/shadow
by dennis＠demarco.com 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

I would like to export the MD5 hash from the Fedora directory user's password attribute into /etc/shadow of a Linux machine not in LDAP (Redhat). It appears this isn't working, is there a way for me to do this? Not all machines are using ldap but I would like to export from ldap. Thanks, Dennis

[Fedora-directory-users] Admin password stored in plain text
by Womble 17 Apr '06

17 Apr '06

I installed Fedora-DS recently and I've been fairly pleased with it. There is just one thing that I've noticed that I really dislike - the password for the admin user that is created during setup is stored in plain text in /opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/config/adm.conf. A friend who uses Sun's DS has the same issue, but says it doesn't bother him because "it's not entirely obvious that it's a password", which I think is rather lame. Is it likely that this will get changed in the near future so that it is for example stored in an encrypted format? Jess

[Fedora-directory-users] Fedora-directory-users] How interhangeable are ldap, server?
by Phil Lembo 17 Apr '06

17 Apr '06

Very important point made about knowing the extended features of each directory product. For example, Active Directory sets a hard limit on the number of entries returned by a search. The way around this is to use the Paged Results control extension (good feature). Problem is that while this control is supported on AD and OpenLDAP it *is not* thus far supported by any of the Netscape derived directory products (i.e. Sun, Fedora/Red Hat). Another extension with uneven support is Server Side Sort (not my favorite feature). This is available on Sun/Fedora/Red Hat *but not* on Active Directory or OpenLDAP. The foregoing brings up another point. Although programming to the LDAP protocol itself (apart from various vendor extensions) is pretty uniform the configuration of each individual directory may not necessarily be. Maximum number of results returned, restrictions on access to the root dsn or schema dn can differ based on the administrator's preference. So besides knowing the different directory products and what they can do, you should also invest some time in getting to know the admins for the directories you'll be querying and find out how they've been configured.

Hello, Is it possible to change the way the user creation template generates the uid ? I'd like to have it lowercase and limited to a fixed number of characters. Thanks in advance, -- Mikael Kermorgant

[Fedora-directory-users] NSS_ldap....(was... SubjectAltName how does it work?)
by Alex aka Magobin 16 Apr '06

16 Apr '06

Hi, following Susan's council...I leave out my purpose about floating ip and I set up two server ldap in client's configuration...int this way everything works, but I have two question: 1) After set up via authconfig in a fedora 5 client ldap configuration I reboot client but on booting seems that something doesn't work...I have to wait a lot of time..after this time X doens't work and I remake Xconfiguration..but, after that I succesfully log in in client and query on ldap servers...I found in logs this: Xfs: nfs_ldap: reconnetting to ldap server (sleeping 4 seconds)... -CUT- Xfs: nfs_ldap: reconnecting to ldap server (sleeping 40 seconds)... And so on...but repeat...after X reconfiguration everything works..the problem is every time I reboot client I have to configure X :-( 2) When for test I shutted nodo1 query and authentication was made correctly from nodo2, but I saw that in this case it was slower than with nodo1...for every query I ave to wait about 3 seconds....while with nodo1 it was istantaneous. Thanks for help Alex
