Re: OpenLDAP, SASL and TLS



Thanks for letting me know that it's an ok use case.

The back end is AD, but it is a "black box" to me.  I have access, but the event viewer is empty.  It does work if I use Kerberos only or TLS with simple bind through.  Is there anything you can suggest that I can do on the server side to show me what it may be complaining about?

Thanks for your help!

Certainly it is valid, and has worked in the past. Just keep in mind that what you've described here is SASL/GSSAPI + TLS on the same session. Not all LDAP servers support that, M$ AD is known to have failed on that in the past. It has been tested to work fine in OpenLDAP before.

I have not personally tested with the version of Cyrus SASL and Heimdal Kerberos you mentioned, so no comment on the current state of things.

Thanks,
Kris

        There is a known bug in Cyrus SASL which triggers this problem:

        If adding "-O maxssf=0" to your ldapsearch command, when using both

    Apparently I can't read my own bug reports. This may or may not be your
    issue.
