open LDAP root password with openldap-servers-2.3.38-3.fc8 Fedora 8 server

Ryanjon7 · 05-21-2010, 01:50 PM

Hello,

I've setup an openldap server, and am trying to add .ldif files to the database. I am constantly getting the following error, no matter what I do ;

ldapadd -D "cn=Manager,dc=ns2,dc=keystone" -W -f /tmp/base.ldif

Enter LDAP Password:
SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Invalid credentials (49)
additional info: SASL(-13): user not found: no secret in database

I need some serious help if I am to add new entries in the LDAP db for new users and groups

Try:

Code:

ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=ns2,dc=keystone" -W -f /tmp/base.ldif

The -x tells the ldap tools to use simple bind. I didn't see anything about SASL in your slapd.conf.

Ryanjon7 · 05-21-2010, 02:09 PM

ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=ns2,dc=keystone" -W -f /tmp/base.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

hmm . . . maybe change the password or something eh?

Ryanjon7

Ryanjon7 · 05-21-2010, 02:13 PM

ldappasswd -S
New password:
Re-enter new password:
SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started
Please enter your password:
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Invalid credentials (49)
additional info: SASL(-13): user not found: no secret in database

. . . in order to change the password I need the password. So it needs an ldappasswd and an slappasswd ??

this is confusing . . .

Blue_Ice · 05-21-2010, 02:56 PM

How did you create rootpw in slapd.conf? With slappasswd?
If not, use slappasswd, copy the entire line returned by slappasswd and paste it behind rootpw.

CLI:

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# slappasswd
New password: 
Re-enter new password: 
{SSHA}l2H19sXi2YIkAMRVVGf2fe8ZLl/Pibyh

slapd.conf:

Code:

...
rootpw {SSHA}l2H19sXi2YIkAMRVVGf2fe8ZLl/Pibyh
...

In your ldap tools (ldapsearch, ldapadd, ldappasswd, etc.) you will have to use -x, because you are not using SASL.

Ryanjon7 · 05-21-2010, 03:15 PM

o.k it seems I fixed this. I checked, and the saslauthd service was not running. So I started it

/etc/init.d/saslauthd start

and turned the service on for boot time

chkconfig saslauthd on

chkconfig --list | grep sasl
saslauthd 0off 1off 2on 3on 4on 5:n 6off

It also has a config file in /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd in which I changed

MECH=pam

to

MECH=ldap

and I added some sasl passwords

saslpasswd2 -c Manager
saslpasswd2 -c root

. . and then restarted the ldap service, and I was able to add new .ldif entries with the ldapadd command.

Ryanjon7

Ryanjon7 · 05-21-2010, 03:17 PM

. . . this is weird though, 'cause I don't have sasl enabled in any of the ldap configs, but it likes the saslauthd thing . .

Thanks for your replies guys
