Re: [Ldap-users-questions] Adding LDAP user

[Fernando L. <fer...@lo...>]

Hi Geetha,

Besides configurion nsswitch.conf you need to configure /etc/ldap.conf 
(or something like that, check nss_ldap docs) so it knows to which LDAP 
server to connect to get user information.

[Ldap-users-questions] pam_ldap-169 not check host attribute...

[Michael J. P. <mjp...@mj...>]

Hello all,

I have been trying to get my pam_ldap to actually check the host attribute (via
pam_check_host_attr yes). However, no matter what I do it will not check it.

Here is my config:

Openldap 2.2.11
Pam_ldap-169

pam_check_host_attr yes

missing (on purpose) a host attribute in my test account but I can still
login...

Thanks
Michael

[Ldap-users-questions] Multi-line fields and multiple entries

[Stephen T. <st...@ik...>]

Is it possible yet to have fields with multiple entries, and is it
possible yet with the LDAP User Admin module to have multiple-line
fields?

For instance, I'd like to use this for our HR department to be able to
add employees. As a part of this, it would be nice to be able to specify
their home address, which will span multiple lines. Also, it would be
nice to have multiple entries for some items, like email addresses, in
case someone has more than one (personal and business, for instance).

Is there a way to do either of these yet?

[Ldap-users-questions] Example of alias in openldap

[Michael J. P. <mjp...@mj...>]

No matter what I do I can not get even a basic alias to work. It is most
frustrating. Has anyone have an example I could view?

Here is one example that I tried:

dn: cn=mjpelletier,ou=Horde,dc=mjpelletier,dc=com
aliasedObjectName: uid=mjpelletier,ou=Users,dc=mjpelletier,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: alias
objectClass: person

With yet another error message. This one says 
ldap_add: Object class violation (65)
        additional info: invalid structural object class chain (alias/person)

Please Help!!!!

I have a few questions. I'm running redhat 7.3 2.4.18-19.7.xsmp. I'm having a ton of issues trying to install the ldap SDK.  I can't compile the

Does anyone have an RPM for 7.3 with perLDAP.... any help you can lend would be great. I really need an easy way to manage my LDAP database.

This doesn't look right.  Your 'user' should be a DN, like
'cn=3DManager,dc=3Dexample,dc=3Dcom' (although possibly if you're using
SASL it needn't be, but I don't know about SASL).  Base should also
be a some sort of structural object, like 'dc=3Dexample,dc=3Dcom'.

BTW Fernando, I found a simple problem some time ago I forgot to
report; if you disable Outlook schema, the user isn't prompted for
the 'givenname' attribute, and due to new_user_ok() checking for it,
it's not possible to actually save a new user with Outlook attributes
turned off.

Of course the module works woth remote LDAP servers, I have tried=20

Sure.  Perhaps you've got a lower-level issue if the LDAP server
isn't local, like firewall rules or host ACLs?  What happens if
you try to use the CLI ldap tools?

Well, usually it either means a) slapd isn't running b) ldap-users
isn't configured for the correct LDAP server or possibly c)
the binddn & password are wrong, but I'd expect that to give a
different error.

Yes, it works fine with OpenLDAP.

I do have ldap-user configured for the correct LDAP server and the binddn
and password are correct.  Now the only thing that is different is that I'm
connecting to an LDAP server. The LDAP server doesn't reside on the system
with this module so slapd isn't running on this machine.  Shouldn't the
module work if slapd is running on the system that it's connecting to?  I do
have the libraries for OpenLDAP installed.

[Ldap-users-questions] Added posix groups and Samba.schema

[Manuel C. <mca...@ce...>]

Hello everybody,

 I have made important changes in Ldap-users webmin module in order to
add features like administration of Samba schemas & LDAP posix groups.

 I am looking for somebody to test these improvements.

 You need add Crypt::SmbHash module to your perl distribution and the
samba.schema to your Ldap server.

 Also I have added spanish lang.

I made a little patch in directory_mgr to deal with this
case; it's fairly trivial and goes something like this:

        # PerlLDAP stuff
        eval {
        	use Mozilla::LDAP::Conn;
        	use Mozilla::LDAP::Utils;
        } ;
        # 'use' caused an error, so the modules probably aren't
        # installed
        if ($@) {
        	&error($text{'ldap_modules_not_installed'},
                $text{'perl_eval_err'}, $@) ;
        }

You might want to implement this.

[Ldap-users-questions] Error when creating/modifying users.

[Darrin H. <da...@ma...>]

Hello,

I am using redhat 7.2 and have a working LDAP built from the Migrate 
perl scrips.

I got the module configured and it connects to the server, lists all the 
users, and lets me change passwords of the users I migrated, and ones I 
created from the command line.

When creating or modifying a user I get the following error:

add (uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=ecc,dc=edu):Undefined attribute type

I am using standard Openldap 2.0.11 and redhat default schemas.

I also tried turning off the MS-Outlook fields and got a different error 
as follows:

You must type at least the Login, GID, Shell, Name and Surname

I have these fields filled......

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.....

[Ldap-users-questions] Question about ldap-users installation.

Hi,

	I just installed the ldap-users module. The OS is RedHat 6.2, with:

openldap-1.2.9-5       
perldap-1.4-1    
nss_ldap-105-1 
perl-5.00503-10       
and Webmin 0.85.

	The ldap server is up and running. If I Telnet to localhost and por 389 I 
get connected. However, when I enter the ldap-users module, I get this 
message:

I am running the cvs version without problems.  I too am noticing problems 
with some of the attributes that are used for addressbook stuff.  I took a

I will probably do some work on it sometime soon.  If I make some progress on 
it, I will send you the stuff.

Yes this would be easy if you know basic Perl programming and LDAP
programming. The LDAP stuff you can learn in a day by reading the
perlldap docs, they are very small.

The migration scripts create goups under OU=groups,$basedn just like
users are created under OU=People,$basedn. If you have not did so, run
the migration scripts provided with OpenLDAP so all users and groups
from /etc are on the directory and see how simple is one group entry
using some LDAP browser like gq.

Re: [Ldap-users-questions] openldap functionality?

The current CVS code runs on 7.1 (you may install the 6.2 rpm for
PerlLDAP) but I had to disable the Address Book (outlook) attributes.
The source forge project page tells you how to download from CVS, then
you just tar the sorce three, rename the tar archive to wbm extension
and install the module using regular webmin procedures.

There was some Perl issues (5.5 on RHL 6.2 x 5.6 on RHL 7.1) but there
are still issues about OpenLDAP (1.2.x on RHL 6.2 x 2.0.x on RHL 7.1)
and these made me disabel the fields. I am still working on these and
any help will be wellcome.

I did not wish to release 0.0.2 with these unsolved issues, but if more
people wish I can release a CVS snapshot as a wbm file.
