Re: Simple Bind w/TLS without SASL/Kerberos possible to AD?



Thanks for the reply, sorry about the poor quoting, I'm cut and
pasting from the web archive.

I am trying to use OpenLDAP from an embedded Linux system to

TLS to secure this, but I would rather not use SASL or Kerberos if
possible.

pam_ldap = http://www.padl.com/pam_ldap.html[1] OR
http://arthurdejong.org/nss-pam-ldapd/[2] .... you are not dealing
here with OpenLDAP....

DJM> Good point, I will look at exactly which module(s) I'm using and
come back to that later.  I beleive for the moment I'm using whatever is in
Centos. I have Arthur Jong's modules as well, but I don't think I've installed them yet.

I have been able to mock this up on a Centos system without TLS, and
the PAM worked fine.  When I turn on TLS, the Windows server
handshakes the TLS but then has a problem with the first message.  I
am also working that side.

I have walked through the handshake with s_client, and the connection
is happy.
I am now working with ldapsearch and trying things....
The first thing I notice is that it seems to try an SASL bind.  Can
I stop this?
I'm not sure I have SASL actually installed on this system, and I'm
not sure I want it in my target.

ldapsearch -x   <--- does simple auth instead of sasl.

Is this possible? from both the OpenLDAP client and/or Windows AD?
Ideas on the correct alphabet soup to try this with ldapsearch would
be appreciated.
Thanks.

Well, I have seen this done through samba, but you *should* be able
to use AD's LDAP to authenticate your Linux workstation, I guess.

Sincerely,

  I tried the following command and here are the results... note that
after the simple_bind, a SASL_bind line appears.   I'd like to dig
into this deeper....  What will give me more info?

  Thanks,  Dave.
