[Fedora-directory-users] Question about setting a Password Policy from the Command Line
by Eric Brown 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

I am trying to create an LDIF for importing a default password policy for my FDS server that I can quickly import after I start it. I was looking through the Adminstrator's Guide and it seems to be missing some fields that are defined in the objectclass for password policy. I was just wondering if the Admin guide was correct and has all of the defined attributes for the policy there and defined, or if these extra ones are also valid and have documentation associated with them. I am using the 1.0.4 version of FDS and I would guess that they online guides have been updated for the newer versions, but I didn't expect to see this much of a difference. Attributes from the Admin Guide: passwordGraceLimit passwordMustChange passwordChange passwordExp passwordMaxAge passwordWarning passwordCheckSyntax passwordMinLength passwordMinAge passwordHistory passwordInHistory passwordStorageScheme Attributes from the 00core.ldif schema definition of the password policy objectclass: passwordMaxAge passwordExp passwordMinLength passwordKeepHistory passwordInHistory passwordChange passwordWarning passwordLockout passwordMaxFailure passwordResetDuration passwordUnlock passwordLockoutDuration passwordCheckSyntax passwordMustChange passwordStorageScheme passwordMinAge passwordResetFailureCount passwordGraceLimit passwordMinDigits passwordMinAlphas passwordMinUppers passwordMinLowers passwordMinSpecials passwordMin8bit passwordMaxRepeats passwordMinCategories passwordMinTokenLength Just need to know which list is really valid, and I need the documentation or at least explanations of the fields that I can use in my version. Thanks in advance. Eric

[Fedora-directory-users] altServer
by Del 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Hi, Is there any plan to support the altServer attribute in the root DSE of a Fedora Directory Server? By that I mean that the server should advertise its list of replicas (currently buried under cn=replica,cn="BASEDN",cn=mapping tree,cn=config for each base DN) in the root DSE using the altServer attribute? This would make it easier to build resilient clients that automatically knew where to reconnect to if the primary server went down. -- Del Babel Com Australia http://www.babel.com.au/ ph: 02 9966 9476 fax: 02 9906 2864

[Fedora-directory-users] Using Console, posixGroups
by Hendry, Chris 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Sorry if this has been asked before. I'm using FDS to authenticate Linux and Mac. Mac uses the LDAP Mappings: RFC 2307, thus to get what groups a users is a part of, it looks at the attribute memberUid from posixGroup Class. When using the console to create a group, by default, it uses the attribute uniquemember from the groupOfUniquNames class. Thus I have to add the posixGroup class manually using the advance button. Also, to modify users of a group, I can not simply use the memberof window, must use the advanced button to modify the memberUid attribute. This does not make much sense. Adding a group should be like adding a User, where you have a window to enable Posix attributes. Any ideas on getting the console to handle the posixGroup class? Chris

Ahem. OpenLDAP conforms perfectly to the LDAPv3 spec here. The behavior you're seeing with FDS is due to the fact that the FDS code base doesn't have full LDAPv3 schema support. Rich's reference to ces and cis is an artifact of the way the old UMich LDAPv2 code kludged schemas, and his mention of "case sensitive syntax" is archaic. In X.500 and LDAPv3, string syntaxes have no case sensitivity property at all; case sensitivity is determined solely by the matching rules in the schema definition of the attribute using the syntax. The only difference between IA5String and DirectoryString syntax is the range of legal characters that may be contained in the string (DirectoryString accomodates the entire Unicode set in UTF8 encoding, IA5String only allows 7 bit ASCII). > My main concern is that sanitizing my repository would require > changing usernames for a hundred odd external users, something I wish > to avoid. But given how memberUid's case sensitivity is nullified when > part of a dn, migration it is. In a true LDAP/X.500 server, DN evaluation obeys all of the schema rules of the individual attributes in each RDN composing the DN. E.g. in OpenLDAP, memberUid is case-sensitive whether it's being used in a RDN or anywhere else. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

[Fedora-directory-users] Samba/FDS Integration upgrade steps?
by Ken Marsh 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

I am planning an upgrade on a supported RHES4 server from Samba 3.0.10-1.4E to 3.0.25b or the latest in the RHN update stream. I currently have Samba authentication integrated with AD through FDS 1.0.1-4, only because FDS 1.1 doesn't run on RHES4. I have single sign-on but not integrated password changes for Windows XP Domain users. Every Samba+FDS user currently has objectClass attribute sambasamaccount, and attributes sambaSID, sambaAcctFlags, sAMAccountName, sambaLMPassword and sambaNTPassword. According to Red Hat support (who cannot help me much because they only support OpenLDAP), there is a "schema change" and a script to convert the schema, however they did not know where the script was or its name. I also noticed during an attempt to upgrade that the SambaSID has changed format in 3.0.25b so I suppose I have to change that attribute value for every user. Can someone name the conversion script and lay out the steps that it will take to get me from 3.0.10-1.4E to 3.0.25b/later while maintaining AD integration? If it involves upgrading to FDS1.1, I can handle that, but I'd rather do one thing at a time. If there are any side benefits (like single password change) I'd also like to know. Thanks, Ken.

[Fedora-directory-users] Case Sensitive Lookup and Searching
by Mike C 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

Hi, I'm running Fedora-Directory/1.0.2 B2006.111.2147, and talking to it via a Java App. Previously the app was talking to an OpenLDAP 2.3.x server. My problem is with this: Object o = ctx.lookup("memberUid=steves,ou=People"); In OpenLDAP, it returns the correct user (steves). In FDS, it returns the wrong user, 'Steves'. Yes, unfortunately our data is like that, where case sensitivity is important. In fact, as a side issue, when we import the data from ldif into FDS, the ldif2db process ignores duplicate entries (i.e. steves was inserted, but Steves ignored as it was considered a duplicate). ldif2db Error: import company: WARNING: Skipping duplicate entry "memberUid=steves,ou=People,o=company.com" As you might imagine, I'd like to get it so both ldif2db and lookups are case sensitive. However, it seems like ldapsearch is case sensitive. # ./ldapsearch -h 127.0.0.1 -b "o=company.com" memberUid=steves # ./ldapsearch -h 127.0.0.1 -b "o=company.com" memberUid=Steves version: 1 dn: memberUid=Steves,ou=People,o=company.com personalTitle: Mr etc... So, the question goes, what am I missing? I've even tried changing the definition of memberUid in config/schema/10rfc2307.ldif to use attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.12 NAME 'memberUid' DESC 'Standard LDAP attribute type' EQUALITY caseExactIA5Match SUBSTRINGS caseExactIA5SubstringsMatch SYNTAX 'IA5String' ) Ideas? Thanks, Mike

[Fedora-directory-users] active directory synchronization info
by omight 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

Hi List, Does fedora-ds only synchronize users, groups and passwords with active directory? So it's not possible to synchronize other objects? Is it possible to synchronize all objects between active directory and linux directory software? Which product do you recommend? thanks heaps, Omight

[Fedora-directory-users] A multi-master disaster
by Edward Capriolo 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

Sorry for the funny title. I THINK* this may be a bug of multi-master replication agreement created from the Windows Version of the Console Tool but I was hoping someone could shed some light on this. I have set up multi master replication before and did not run into this issue. I go about the normal process described in the documentation to setup a multi-master replication agreement for only one suffix of my directory server. dc_edops_dc_com. Enable changelog Select multi-master replication Give each server a unique id I initialize the side of the connection with data. (I also have tried using ldif to get both sides in sync before the transfer. ) On the side I initialize from I get these messages in the error log. [02/Jul/2008:18:25:19 -0400] - import dc_edops_dc_com: Workers finished; cleaning up... [02/Jul/2008:18:25:19 -0400] - import dc_edops_dc_com: Workers cleaned up.

When I connect to side B of the replication it seems like there is one more level there. Does anyone understand why this simple setup would not be working?
