The simple bind under TLS worked but when i try to use cert-based
SASL EXTERNAL authentication i get no success.
In the proxy server configuration i add the following directive
idassert-bind bindmethod=sasl
saslmech=EXTERNAL
binddn="CN=proxy-server1.example.com,O=Internet Widgits
Pty Ltd,ST=Some-State,C=AU"
tls_cert=/etc/ssl/certs/proxy-server1.example.com.pem
tls_key=/etc/ssl/private/proxy-server1.example.com.key
tls_cacertdir=/etc/ssl/cacerts/
tls_reqcert=demand
mode=self
In the master (remote) server i set:
#
# Authz
#
authz-policy to
authz-regexp "CN=proxy-server1.example.com,O=Internet Widgits Pty
Ltd,ST=Some-State,C=AU" cn=proxy_id,dc=example,dc=com
The cn=proxy_id,dc=example,dc=com has the following content:
ldapsearch -LLL -b 'cn=proxy_id,dc=example,dc=com' -H
ldaps://proxy-server1.example.com -x -D 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com'
-w secret authzTo
dn: cn=proxy_id,dc=example,dc=com
authzTo: ldap:///ou=people,dc=example,dc=com??sub?(objectClass=person)
But when i try to modify a password through the proxy i get the
following error:
ldapmodify -x -H ldaps://proxy-server1.example.com -f pass2_user.ldif -D
'uid=user_w_pass,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com' -W
Enter LDAP Password:
modifying entry "uid=user_w_pass,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"
ldap_modify: Insufficient access (50)
With simple bind i got the following message in syslog:
ldap-master[11314]: conn=1002 op=1 PROXYAUTHZ
dn="uid=user_w_pass,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"
But not in the cert-based SASL EXTERNAL case.
Is there something wrong in the configuration?
Thanks in advance.
