Ubuntu Servers :: Ldap Authentication For Wireles Clients?
Apr 14, 2010
I would like to know whether ldap can be used to authenticate wireless clients with my server.server and clients are connected to a wireless router and i am able to get wireless adapter work in my ubuntu. Is there any anything extra which is required or the openldap server will work for wireless clients?
I'm trying to utilize my company's IT orginazation's LDAP service (running on some sort of windows) for authenticating users on an Ubuntu box.Another group has done something similar for CENTOS; I've used their ldap.conf as a reference as well as ap-server.html (LDAP Authentication section)I can't get it to work. When I try to connect as my corporate user I see this in auth.log:
Code: Jan 14 14:32:24 Algalon sshd[7062]: nss_ldap: could not connect to any LDAP server as cn=ldapquery2,cn=Users,dc=<companyname>,dc=com - Can't contact LDAP server
I have been able to accomplish my goal of creating an AD-like authentication using LDAP,SAMBA and LAM. From what I have seen you can have this type of setup but it doesn't allow the passing of group policies to the desktops of the users.
I installed and configured LDAP server and client on RHEL5 successfully. Problem is that when I add more than one user on server and clients, It shows error 'invalid user'.When I run the command:-#chown -R user:users /home/user, It shows error 'invalid user'. by step for adding and modifying more users in ldap servers.
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.
LDAP Authentication for Web Access I am trying to build a LDAP server to allow access to the wireless network in conjunction with Meraki wireless access points. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and trying to install OpenLDAP from their documentation but I keep running into the error "configure: error: MozNSS not found - please specify the location to the NSPR and NSS header files in CPPFLAGS and the location to the NSPR and NSS libraries in LDFLAGS (if not in the system location)" I have OpenSSL installed but I also got these when I ran ./configure
checking openssl/ssl.h usability... no checking openssl/ssl.h presence... no checking for openssl/ssl.h... no checking gnutls/gnutls.h usability... no
I'm a NOOB setting up Postfix but managed quite well by following the Ubuntu Server guide. I have managed to set it up using SSL but testing a mail client like thunderbird I can also connect to port 25 using no authentication. Connecting using SSL on port 465 by editing "master.cf" file works but 25 i still open.
1. How do I prevent clients to connect to port 25 without authentication? 2. I guess I have to have port 25 open in order to receive mail from the outside world?
I have tomcat installed with port forwarding to http port 80. I configure ldap authentication for apache2(/var/www). But I could not configure tomcat for ldap authentication.
neither of which exist in the repositories, or anywhere on the internet. the best I could find was a request to build a package from over a year ago...
I did find source that I can build... the Perl module builds and starts to begin the setup process -- but I get stuck at the point where it requires the SDK... which I cannot find anywhere in a plain downloadable form. the one I found seems incomplete:
Making a Samba Server with LDAP authentication. Will post as I go along. Found these sources, anything/hiccups I should know before jumping in? Figure would follow the official documentation then check the others for comparative errors.
My scenario is similar to this person scenario: http:[url]......Here at the clinics, we already have established leaf/shorewall firewalls. Our domain controllers are win2k3 boxes.I've installed ubuntu 9.10 on a sound desktop/server and installed two nics inside that box.How do I make Dansguardian talk to our domain controllers, and give users access to the internet via established groups? What would be the best way to do this?
I maintain a samba PDC for a small business, our current setup does not work very well; on a hardware upgrade I directled imported the old ldap database and attempting to add machines to the domain causes all sorts of trouble.
I'm 95% sure the original database (which predates my employment) was created using the idealx smb-ldap tools, unfortunately on our current platform (debian lenny) these tools seem to be broken; the only things hey seem to do reliably are set passwords and add posix users, asking them to do anything involving samba/windows causes errors. The idealx tools seem to be abandoned, and I don't know enough perl to try and fix them.
Since the idealx scripts seem to be abandoned, and most of the good samba+ldap how-tos references the idealx tools, I was wondering what people use nowadays to manage there ldap directories; surely they aren't importing .ldif files to add new users/machines like I've been doing. Are people just writing thier own management scripts/web-apps? Or are the smb=ldap tools just broke on debian?how to generate the NT/LM password hashes and proper SIDs, does anybody have anything they could point me to about this?
We're trying to validate LDAP authentication from Linux against our AD global catalog servers. I'm seeing lots of LDAP query tools, but what I need is a free/open source application that can use LDAP to query AD to authenticate... something as simple as entering the hostname/IP of our AD/global catalog server and the port, then passing an AD username/password to it to validate logon capability. Anyone know of any software/apps that can do this? I don't want to get into configuring Samba for LDAP or trying to authenticate my actual Linux server again AD... I just want an application that uses LDAP for authentication.
I have a openldap server running on one machine (fedora10) and pam_ldap.so and nss_ldap.so running on the other machine.
I have added a new user to the LDAP server database, this user is not created on client machine.
1. Can i login to the client machine using this new user?
2. Now if i try logging with this new user I am getting error messages, the error messages are as follows at client side
Sep 2 10:34:36 localhost sshd[8484]: Invalid user kim from 10.254.194.148 Sep 2 10:34:36 localhost sshd[8485]: input_userauth_request: invalid user kim Sep 2 10:35:16 localhost sshd[8484]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user "cn=min soo,ou=people,dc=samsung,dc=com" (Invalid credentials)
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:
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 openldap server with phpldapadmin as a gui, i'm gonna use the ldap server just for address book.you can see in the picture how i built my ldap db.
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 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'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 installed Nconf software on a Debian server.I am trying to configure Nconf Authentication with LDAP.I edited nconf's authentication.php file accordingly and I installed php5-ldap package.When i enter user-name and password in Nconf's login screen.
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 Ubuntu server 10.10, with a relay smtp server with authentication via postfix; I keep getting 535: Incorrect authentication data. I'm sure my username and password is correct. Heres how I set up postfix: I created a file called smarthosts.conf in my /etc/postfix/ directory that contains the following:
[Code].....
my server uses plain text authentication on port 25. I would like to use security like SSL, but this particular server is unsecured.
Can any one tell me how to configure Tomcat ldap URL authentication perfectly? I've tomcat installed with port forwarding to http(80). I could able to confiure apache ldap authentication. For this i modified the file '/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-defaults' with the DocumentRoot /var/www.
But for tomcat '/usr/share/tomcat/webapps' I could not able to configure 'server.xml' file perfectly.
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 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.
