Software :: Apache 2.2 LDAP Authentication Makes Pages Load Slow
Apr 16, 2010
I've enabled LDAP authentication on my 2.2.15 Apache server, but now pages load very slowly. As in, 1.515s with it enabled, and 187.4ms without (just the base page, numbers collected via Firebug). Here's my LDAP config (other directives snipped) -
Code:
LoadModule ldap_module modules/mod_ldap.so
LoadModule auth_basic_module modules/mod_auth_basic.so
LoadModule authnz_ldap_module modules/mod_authnz_ldap.so
LDAPSharedCacheSize 500000
LDAPCacheEntries 2048
LDAPCacheTTL 3600
LDAPOpCacheEntries 2048
LDAPOpCacheTTL 3600 LDAPTrustedGlobalCert CA_DER ssl/ldapserver.der
<Directory "/example">
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthName "intranet credentials"
AuthLDAPURL "ldaps://ldap.example.com/ou=ldap,o=example.com?mail"
Require ldap-group cn=example,grp,ou=memberlist,ou=groups,o=example.com
How can I speed this up, or at least determine why it's so slow?

I am using RackMonkey to map out my lab. Unfortunately, due to RM limitations, every user who accesses the site has write access UNLESS they are logged in as a user named "guest". I currently have Apache allowing only the users (sysadmins) in an LDAP group access to RM, but I would like to allow read-only access for other users as well.I found mod_authn_anon, but I am having trouble combining the two authentication methods. I am using Apache 2.2.18 (compiled myself) on SLES 11.1.
This is the common part:
Code:
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap anon
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
This part by itself works for the LDAP authentication:
Code:
AuthName "System Admins"
AuthLDAPURL "ldaps://example.com/ou=ldap,o=example.com?mail" SSL
Require ldap-group cn=SysAdmins,ou=memberlist,ou=groups,o=example.com
This part works by itself for guest access:
Code:
Anonymous guest
Anonymous_VerifyEmail Off
Anonymous_MustGiveEmail Off
Anonymous_LogEmail on
Require valid-user
But if I have both of the previous blocks enabled at once, then guest access does not work. If I throw in a "Satisfy any", then I am not prompted for a username at all. How can I allow access to this LDAP group and to a user named "guest", but not allow all valid LDAP users to log in?

I have an issue with Apache2 and ldap authentication. Here are the specs:
Linux 2.6.32-24-generic i686 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.3.2-1ubuntu4.5 with Suhosin-Patch configured
I have installed our site onto a newer server as we were previously running SLES 9.3. The site has installed correctly, however, It seems to be serving the pages a hell of a lot slower than SLES (eventhough the specs etc are much improved). The main problem seems to be with Ldap - sometimes taking 2 or 3 minutes before authenticating/serving the user - and sometimes one minute it works, another minute it doesn't! We know it's a problem specific to this Ubuntu machine, as the older server has no issues with ldap whatsoever. Also, sometimes the ldap authentication fails all together with a timeout, resulting in a 500 status code. I'm not sure whether this a problem with the apache config, the network settings or the server setup. We know ldap itself is fine.
Here's the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default config for ldap. Are these directives correct? (I know a lot of changes were made between apache2 and apache2.2 that may affect this config):
Code:
ScriptAlias /home/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin/">
AuthType Basic
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative On
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthName "Active Directory Authentication Required."
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://x.x.x.x:3268/DC=xxxxxx,DC=com?userPrincipalName?sub?(objectClass=*)" NONE
AuthLDAPBindDN "xxxxx@xxxx.com" AuthLDAPBindPassword xxxxxxxx
require valid-user Options +ExecCGI -Includes AllowOverride None
</Directory>
Here's some examples of some of the log messages we have been receiving:
1. This one occurs upto ten times in a row when the client is being authenticated:
Code:
[Thu Nov 04 12:47:19 2010] [debug] mod_authnz_ldap.c(377): [client x.x.x.x] [2892] auth_ldap authenticate: using URL ldap://x.x.x.x:3268/DC=xxxxxxx,DC=com?userPrincipalName?sub?(objectClass=*), referer: http://x.x.x.x/home/page
2. This is output when the authentication works:
Code:
[debug] mod_authnz_ldap.c(474): [client x.x.x.x] [2734] auth_ldap authenticate: accepting xxxxx@xxxx.xxxxx.com, referer: http://x.x.x.x/home/page
3. And this one is always output after the error above. This one is more interesting. What does this mean exactly? And why does it say 'declining to authorise' directly after saying 'accepting user@domain.com'? Surely this makes no sense:
Code:
[debug] mod_authnz_ldap.c(546): [client x.x.x.x] [2939] auth_ldap authorise: declining to authorise (no ldap requirements), referer: http://x.x.x.x/home/page
4. This one is output when the authentication attempt times out (after 10 outputs of error number 1):
Code:
[warn] [client x.x.x.x] [3165] auth_ldap authenticate: user xxxx@xxx.xxxxx.com authentication failed; URI /home/page [LDAP: ldap_simple_bind_s() failed][Can't contact LDAP server], referer: http://x.x.x.x/home/page

I have apache running on my server, and also Zoneminder, a surveillance system running on the same machine. Both services runs without glitches, and I think apache's config as well as ZM's config are fine. I am not sure I understand how apache (not to mention the whole thing zoneminder, apache, web browser...) works. Pretty hard to manage when you dont know what you are doing. Also, when I try the supposed to work zoneminder webpage in my web browser, I get nothing (a blank page), or sometimes a "Not found" error message. The latest seems to be from apache because it is the same font as the "It works!" message when I try http://localhost:80
The only bit of information I have so far is in the apache error log (/var/log/httpd/error_log) and it says:
Code:
[Sun Mar 21 00:35:14 2010] [error] [client 192.168.0.100] script '/srv/httpd/htdocs/zm.php' not found or unable to stat
[Sun Mar 21 00:46:04 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /srv/httpd/htdocs/zm
It seems that the "zm.php" is missing.... That would be why Apache cant find the page?

I have 2 servers that are mirrored. They host 3 separate websites. Two of these websites are regular HTTP and the other is HTTPS with Digest authentication as well. The reason there are 2 servers is because one is a primary and the other secondary in case the primary goes down. Recently I decided to upgrade the secondary server then make it the primary server. I have done most of the configuration and the sites using regular HTTP are working perfectly fine. The page using SSL is not. Apache fails to load and here are the errors I am receiving the the error log file:
Code:
[Fri Aug 13 09:27:00 2010] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `newserver.domain.com' does NOT match server name!?
[Fri Aug 13 09:27:00 2010] [error] Unable to configure RSA server private key
[Fri Aug 13 09:27:00 2010] [error] SSL Library Error: 185073780 error:0B080074:x509 certificate routines:X509_check_private_key:key values mismatch
For the first warning, I cannot find anywhere that says the CN "newserver.domain.com", only what the CN is in the SSL key. I have no idea where to even start with the other errors.

Laptop: HP 6910p Wireless Card: BCM4312 NO issues with wireless in 8.10 (intrepid) - fwcutter driver. Performed clean install of 10.04 (lucid) onto a brand new hard drive (July 2010) - fwcutter driver. NO issues with wireless in 10.04 (lucid) until a few days ago, when. my laptop shutdown because the battery died and I safe-upgraded to 2.6.32-24-generic. Currently I have chronic wireless connectivity issues - slow to non-existent. Ping tests (ping -c6 google.com or ping -c6 4.2.2.1) sometimes reveal 0% loss, sometimes 100% loss, sometimes "unknown host" - within 5 minutes of each other. Regardless of ping results, web pages are consistently slow to load. Skype will also cut out from time to time as the wireless connection vacillates. I have a MacBook Pro which I am using as my (wireless and consistently well-connected) control - and from which I am currently forced to draft this note.

I have a Cent OS 5.4 32 bit final installed in my dedicated server.
I used to run lighttpd with php in my server until now and all was fine.But yesterday I changed my website which needs apache to run. So installed apache using yum install httpd command.
Then I added the virtual host name of my domain in webmin panel but when i try to run my php script in browser then its not opening php pages.
Instead it downloads php files like index.php when i open in browser.So I guess apache is not able to compile and run php pages. Only html pages are opening right now..

I've recently installed Debian 8 in my machine.
I've got excited when I saw the possibilty to use my Owncloud account (my server is installed on a Digital Ocean cloud machine) directly on the system configuration.
Well, I added the acount there and my owncloud webdav folder appeared on Nautilus everytime I turn my PC on, what's great. So I've started to save my Libreoffice docs on the cloud, believing that I finally got free from google docs.

I have created a CA on my server then created a server certificate under that then exported it as a common server certificate.I have then gone to my LDAP server and enabled TLS and told it to use the common server certificate.Now on my client I have enabled LDAP TLS/SSL and it's asking me to download a certificate ... from where ? Do I export the certificate to a file and put it on a web server.If so what format as the export offers loads.

I am trying to allow my freshly installed ubuntu 10.04 to authenticate with ldap. I did follow the doc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LD...Authentication and some other hints with no success.My needs is just to use an ldap existing server (active directory in my site, but i wish to use it via ldap, not via samba/ winbind) to validate users on services using pam modules.After the package installation the command getent passwd retrieve just local users and I don't understand if my ubuntu client is not querying the server or the server reply with some message.

One I cant figure out is a problem of authentication. I'm using open ldap server and try to authenticate a groupware (simple groupware) against it. As it fails, I tested with a ldap client to understand things better. Using GQ ldap client, I 'm able to browse my ldap tree successfully and to search some args from the base DN i specified. but when entering the exact uid as a search string iI got no answer whereas searching the cn returns the correct entry (and display its related entry including the uid I can't find ..) Here is the only thing I can trace in logs (syslog) when trying to seach firstname.lastname (= uid)

I'm trying to get LDAP working with 389 Directory Server on Fedora 13. I have the server all ready to go, and I can query it with the 389 console. But when I tried to move on to the next step, user authentication trough LDAP, it just won't work I followed the PAM Howto, but the given authconfig command doesn't work. If I manually add a user with the 389 console, I can't login with it.Since I had X11 forwarding working over SSH, I tried authconfig-gtk. I setup a SSL LDAP connection for this to work, but it still didn't work. I did have this working on my (now crashed ) Fedora 12 VM.

I've added a new machine (desktop used by many users) to a network that uses LDAP (pam_ldap) for authentication. Can anyone post relevant configs to limit users by a groupOfNames? I've googled extensively and have found some partial comments, but no complete config examples or howto's.
The issue is as follows:
All users have one primary GID in their posixAccount entries, which is used to control access to the existing machines. So it's not really possible to change this. Now, I need to limit access to this new machine to a specific subset of users, all members of a specific groupOfNames. I can't seem to get pam_ldap to use a groupOfNames instead of a posixGroup.

We have an LDAP server (OpenDirectory on Snow Leopard Server--OpenLDAP essentially) and I am trying to configure our slackware hosts to use that LDAP server as the authentication mechanism instead of NIS/YP as they currently do.How do I change it, and is it just as simple as changing /etc/nsswitch.conf?

On this moment i configure a testenvironment with 1 Microsoft active directory server and 1 Opensuse 11 samba filesharing server. But i have a issue. The samba server is add to the domain and the servers can communicate with eachother. I can login to the domain on the samba server and the LDAP settings tab on yast2 samba configuration tool tell me that samba and the MS LDAP server can communicate with eachother. I can see the shares on the samba server but i can't autenticate myself. When i whant to logon than see i always "domain: domainname.local" and "access denied". My question is now how can i give the MS administrator account rights to view the shares and configure the rights for the other users.Samba config file

I've just installed Ubuntu Server for the first time with the goal as setting it up as a proxy server for our Apple computers here since I can get neither ISA of OS X Server's firewall to play properly. So far I have the machine authenticating against our OS X OpenLDAP server and multiple NIC's setup ready to be connected to the outside world. My question is does anyone have a preference on what proxy I should be using? So far my search efforts seem to of turned up Squid Proxy as a favorite among Ubuntu users but I can't seem to work out how to get it authenticating against my OpenLDAP server.

i am taking another stab at this. The last time i attempted it, it seemed like everyone had a different way to do it, but nobody could give me an answer on how to do it...
I currently have a Domain Controller Running sme server and a domain controller, using ldap as a backend. I have two file servers runing ubuntu 10.04. My overall goal is to have it so when i create a username on the domain controller, it is then automatically copied over to the fileservers. This way everyone will have their own username and password to access the fileservers and ill be able to track what people do on the fileservers.
The next necessity is for me to be able to apply permissions to the folders on the fileserver based on the users that are created on the domain controller.

I have installed openldap version 2.4.21 and configured with the help of the site [URL] and the LDAP address book is working fine. But I need to create an LDAP directory such that it will contain the user name and passwords for the users and when user is logging to any application he is authenticated from LDAP directory
e.g Users who need to browse the internet need to authenticate with username and password for access from the firewall (Juniper Netscreen) and similarly other applications like oracle ERP such that they will have only 1 username and password stored in LDAP directory and all other applications will search for the user name and password for authentication.

I have more than 150 Linux desktop computer in my office IT setup.
I want to configure LDAP centralize network authentication for all the desktop computer.
My requirement is below mentioned.
The LDAP server will only authenticate the desktop computer at the log-in time when the user start computer.
The home directory of all the user should be create in their desktop local computer not in the LDAP server.
And flexibility of user log-in for every desktop. (any user can log-in any computer with his/her username and password)and the home directory will create automatically in the local desktop computer automatically the moment any user will log-in to any computer in the network and the LDAP server will authenticate for desktop-network log-in in to the computer.

I'm having a pretty weird problem, and really have no idea where to begin in tracing and fixing it. But here goes.I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on 2 machines, and have installed OpenLDAP as per the guide https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/server...ap-server.html it all seemed to be going well having it installed and running on Server A, including authentication. So a few days later I decided to setup server B to be a slave replica. Which after a little bit of fiddling seems to working and keeping the records in sync.
Then I did an apt-get upgrade on server A. then my problem started.Basically getent passwd, only returns one entry from the LDAP and so does getent group.But a search of LDAP returns everything that's there.I've been comparing the config files between Server A and Server A for PAM etc, and everything is the same.but if I change ldap.conf on server A to point the uri ldap://server B/ and rerun getent passwd it returns all the users and getent group returns all the groups.I've compared the LDAP entries between Server A and Server B and they're staying in sync.It looks like it's more to do with ldap than the auth config if just changing the server fixes it, but as server A is the master LDAP server I'm really at a loss.
If getent was only returning local users it'd be something, but it's returning local + 1 LDAP user or 1 group. Which just seems weird.Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure posting some logs would be helpful, but I have no idea which so if someone can let me know what extra info would be more helpful I'll post it back asap.

I have a centos 5 system with openldap configured. I need openldap for simple user authentication. ie.. to be able to use it for authenticating it from remote applications and systems like mail clients...etc.
I was able to succefully install and configure openldap and ran a slaptest to verify the slapd.conf file for errors and found none. so now all i want to do is to add username and passwords to the ldap database.
iam just not sure what all objectClasses i need to use for Attributes uid and userPassword and what exactly should be the ldif file syntax for the above entries. I tried various sources but i do either get errors while adding or after adding do get errors trying to access it.
above all, iam able to access the ldap server from my phpldapadmin only as a anonymous user and not as a root user that i added as a first entry.
