Ubuntu Servers :: Can't Get Through OpenLDAP Server Docs / Sort It?
Jun 30, 2010
I'm trying to follow the OpenLDAP docs that are part of the Ubuntu 10.04 Server Guide, listed here:
I get about halfway through, to this command:
sudo ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com -W -f frontend.example.com.ldif
When it asks me to "Enter LDAP Password:" and nothing I have tried works. I thought it might have been "olcRootPW: secret" set in the backend file in the step before, but that isn't working.

I am planning to deploy an OpenLDAP server in my LAN for basic authentication, but I have no idea how to do it. I would like to know how to configure an OpenLDAP Server, and I would also like to know about knowledge resources, if any.

I'm planning on having a play with Ubuntu server. I'm running it on VMWare 7.
I installed Ubuntu server, after that i proceeded to update it.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot
After the reboot it just boots into a black screen with a blinking cursor.
I can boot into recovery mode if i hold down shift and i tried to follow these instructions for repairing GRUB.

I have this group "cn=admins,ou=groups,dc=home,dc=com" And I've configured slapd in the new way so I'm not using slapd.conf (I think). First I thought about just modifying the files at /etc/ldap/cn=config/....... but that didn't work. How do I make that group into an admin-group with all the rights ?

There are several parts of problems in my question.
1. Install openLDAP and authenticate clients
2. Simple way to authenticate Ubuntu clients (just like Windows simple domain model, but Linux)
Part 1 What I have done: I have been working on openLDAP for the past 4 weeks. There is a lot of information on LDAP and I have read a lot of it There are several guides out there for openLDAP installation on Ubuntu, and I have tried many of them, and reinstalled the server between tests.
[Code]...
Part 2 Simple way to authenticate Ubuntu clients (just like Windows simple domain model, but Linux)
I have tried to find something similar to Windows client login, but haven't found anything that works. I just need to be pointed to somewhere to read about the authentication model in Linux. I can work out my from there. It must be something very simple I am missing, because when I read som echapters in The Ubunutu Bible, I can't find anything on it.

I'm trying to set up an OpenLDAP server on a clean install of 10.04 server (AMD64). Following the server guide [URL] I get down to the "Setting up ACL" step:
$ ldapsearch -xLLL -b cn=config -D cn=admin,cn=config -W oldDatabase=hdb oldAccess
This command fails with "ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)"
When I replace the dn with what it seems like it should be:
$ ldapsearch -xLLL -b cn=config -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com -W oldDatabase=hdb oldAccess
I get "No such object (32)"
I have a feeling this is because 10.04 no longer asks you for the admin username and password during the initial debconf (nor does dpkg-reconfigure).
I can continue through the guide using this form of the commands (which were used earlier in the Guide):
$ sudo ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b cn=config olcDatabase=hdb olcAccess
But I'm a little concerned that I'm not able to properly use the admin user to make LDAP changes to the configuration. It also seems like the Server Guide ought to use the 'sudo ... -Y EXTERNAL' form of the commands throughout if cn=admin,cn=config isn't going to work.

I have slapd-server running but it seems to refuse connections in a very odd way. Wireshark shows that everytime JavaEE-client tries to connect, only 2 packages are sent. As I understand, in tcp/ip protocol, the first is just "hello, who's there". The last is just a message consisting of ACK and RST. I think RST means "we're done". At this point I don't think any credentials are checked so I don't know what could be wrong

I recently followed a tutorial on how to get OpenLDAP running with Samba on Lucid. It worked pretty well.Here's my very frustrating problem with it. For the first 5 - 10 minutes after rebooting, password handling (possibly PAM?) is hosed, including for users in LDAP authenticating via Samba.In fact, I think the only reason I can SSH into the machine during that window is because I happen to have certificate authentication enabled and my client uses that.When I try to do a sudo command after logging in, though, and have to enter the password, it hangs. I've searched logs and haven't come up with much.I *think* it's related to this bug, but I'm not sure.And here's what's killing me ... it's not easy for me to figure out how to ensure that slapd starts before smbd and rsyslog (I read somewhere else that it needs to start before that for some reason) b/c most of the jobs are upstart jobs, but slapd is not.By default it runs at S19 in rc2.d, and I've tried manually lowering that as far as S05 or S07, but I'm still having trouble.

Small office... 20-30 computers all windows based. xp/vista/windows 7. 3 Servers running ubuntu 10.04... 1 domain controller, and two file servers with samba. We want to be able to login once in the morning, and then not have to worry about users/passwords at all throughout the day. So I was thinking that I could setup a PDC and then make the two filservers both BDC's and use ldap to authenticate everything. Would this even work out? and is there a better way to do it?

After installing F11, I installed OpenLdap with the command "yum -y install openldap*" And added the password obtained through the command "slappasswd -s password -h {MD5}" into /etc/openldap/slapd.conf. Also, I specified the domain information within the file on "suffix" and "rootdn". I also modified the domain name in both /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and /etc/ldap.conf. I copied the Copied the /usr/share/doc/openldap-servers-2.4.15/DB_CONFIG.example to /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG. Then started the server with the command /etc/rc.d/init.d/ldap start I then was able to create and delete OU's and CN's with the help of ldapadd and ldapdelete. I also created PERSON records using the base.ldif file with the content ;
dn: cn=user1, ou=domain, dc=example, dc=com
objectClass: person
cn: user1
sn: user1
Everything is OK until I try to add a person with an email address in the "mail" attribute. The error message is ;
***************************
adding new entry "cn=user1, ou=domain, dc=example, dc=com
ldap_add: Object class violation (65)
additional info: attribute 'mail' not allowed
***************************
This error message is appearing also with "uid" attribute. I have searched some forums and found some suggestions to include the line
"include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.scheme" in the file /etcopenldap/slapd.conf, which is already in.

I am an experienced Ubuntu Linux user, but the fact is that I need some help. I recently set up a "venerable"(Pentium 4, single-core, 2.4 GHz, 32-bit architecture) machine with Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 server-i386. My objective is to set up a "kiosk" directory on it which everyone(including guests) on my SOHO network can read from and write to.
I have designated the directory "kiosk"(no surprise there) and defined it in smb.conf. It is directly under the "home" directory, as path = /home/kiosk and set the file permissions as drwxrwxrwx or, if you prefer, like chmod 777. I have a separate machine, System Librarian running Ubuntu Linux 10.04 Desktop amd64 on the network(via Wi-Fi) and a second separate machine running Windows XP Pro, with SP3, also on the network this time via Fast EtherNet(100 Mbs).
From the Linux machine, I can read a complete file list, but I cannot "open" an RTF or an ODT doc in the kiosk directory. When I try to do so, OpenOffice.org simply "opens" a blank, untitled document. JPEG and PNG files in the kiosk directory open just fine. I cannot write to the kiosk directory from this machine, either.
From the Windows XP machine, by contrast, I can list files, open RTF and ODT docs(using Microsoft WordPad) and write file to it without any apparent problems. The file format on the server(Iguanodon) is ext4. Obviously, I have made some sort of mistake in setting this share up,

A time ago I've been trying to implement a PDC linux server with Samba and Openldap for centralized authentication for windows and linux clients, but I can NOT get it. So I read somewhere that there is another option called Directory Server and maybe that is possible to do. According to your experience do you recommend any 'how to' or 'tutorial' that will permit implement a PDC server for authenticating and sharing files and printers for windows and linux clients?

I have a RHEL 5.4 server installed in a server farm. The server is administered under a central AD, which means that administrators are registered in the AD.
However, I have to deploy an application on the linux server, that will use it's own OpenLDAP server. This means that this application will be the client to the LDAP server installed on the same RHEL server.
I tried installing OpenLDAP using yum and it resulted in a very fatal issue. Somehow the configuration files used for finding the Linux server from the AD was overwritten and the Linux server was not reachable anymore.
After some investigations, and possibly, rebuild, the server has been handed over to me.
The problem is how should I install OpenLDAP so that the existing connection to AD is not lost.
On the Linux server I see a /etc/openldap directory but only contains ldap.conf and cacerts directory.
