Re: fedora and openldap



Hello Tom,

Thanks for your answer.

Judith, you are starting the LDAP server as LDAPS (port 636) which

/usr -name ldap.conf -print' in case your system has the ldap.conf

on the server (RHEL6) side the /etc/openldap/ldap.conf says:

(indeed the certificates are there)
there is also another ldap.conf unser /usr/local/openldap-2.4.25/etc/openldap/ldap.conf but I assume that in order to use it being a client, it will use the one from the system, right?

On the rest of the clients (fedora 14) there are two "ldap" files, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and /etc/pam_ldap.conf
the first says:

In one (or more) of those files, you most likely have 'ssl start_tls'
and this should be just 'ssl on'.
As you can see I made the change you suggest without best luck  ;(
althought doing this changes, now I face this new error..

Does this shed some light? it is strange that the client tries to use the mozilla nss because openssl is already installed on the system:
# rpm -qa|grep openssl
openssl-devel-1.0.0a-2.fc14.x86_64
openssl-1.0.0a-2.fc14.x86_64

Is there any way to tell the system not to use the moznss libraries? the certificates were created using openssl commands, so maybe that's the reason for this new error..

Thanks a lot one more time,

I'm posting all the information together in this e-mail, hope you can
help me out, I'm quite desperate at this point.

Following your advise I tried to set TLS in my server and client.
I generated the certificates for both client and server (self signed)
and sent the cacert file from the server to the clients.

I started the server like this:
/usr/local/libexec/slapd -u ldap -h ldaps://curri0.imppc.local:636 -f
/usr/local/openldap-2.4.25/etc/openldap/slapd.conf -d 1

( I installed a newer version of openldap in my server as the RH6 uses
an old one, I compiled it with tls and openssl)

  From the client I do :
  ldapsearch -x -ZZ -d1 -h curri0.imppc.local:636
ldap_create
ldap_url_parse_ext(ldap://curri0.imppc.local:636)

Yes, and if you don't specify "password-hash" in slapd.conf, ssha is
used. It is the default.

do you suggest to use salt?
ssha use salt.

Thanks a lot for your help,

BTW
have you read rfc-3062 ?
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3062.html

If you configure your clients to use "password exop" you should be sure
that the clients use any kind of network protection, TLS or SSL.

TinyCA is a perl based GTK-GUI which may help you to generate certs and
keys.

Until you are ready to use TLS/SSL I sugggest that you let the client
encrypt the passwords local.
