Of course. I did mention that I already have OpenLDAP doing pass-thru
authentication against kerberos (each user has a {kerberos} entry in
userPassword).
What I really want to know is if I can get a kerberos ticket ahead of
time and use it with LDAP, through kinit. This is for the purpose of
binding as administrator.
What principal do I use when I kinit (say when I want to bind as the
manager) and do I have to pass any special options to ldapsearch to use
the ticket. Also, can any application that links against the ldap
libraries (such as php_ldap) transparently use the ticket? That's my
real question.
Most apps need a keytab file that the service (LDAP) uses to verify that
the ticket is authentic. I've seen no mention of this in OpenLDAP
stuff. I know that it's done through cyrus SASL, though, so I may look
there.
Normally OpenLDAP can talk to kerberos because it's the one requesting
the ticket. In this case I request the ticket and pass it to LDAP.
ldapsearch does have a "-k" option that seems to indicate this is what
it would do but it only works with krb4.
Does that make sense?
