ERR - slapi_ldap_bind - Could not send bind request for id [(anon)] authentication mechanism [EXTERNAL]: error -1 (Can't contact LDAP server), system error 0 (no error), network error 0
by Graham Leggett 12 Dec '23

Hi all, We have a long standing 389ds master LDAP server that was found to be unable to contact it’s slaves. Most specifically, the slaves show nothing in their logs about any kind of connection, while the master is logging this: [12/Nov/2019:21:39:47.212715697 +0000] - ERR - slapi_ldap_bind - Could not send bind request for id [(anon)] authentication mechanism [EXTERNAL]: error -1 (Can't contact LDAP server), system error 0 (no error), network error 0 (Unknown error, host “ldap01:636”) Key is "system error 0 (no error)”, which leaves us stumped. The error is obviously “success”. Has anyone seen this kind of thing before? This is 389ds running on CentOS7 as follows: 389-ds-base-1.3.9.1-10.el7.x86_64 Regards, Graham —

Plugin development licensing
by DUVERT Vincent 09 May '23

09 May '23

Hello, I have a question regarding the licensing of developed 389-ds plugins. The FAQ (https://directory.fedoraproject.org/docs/389ds/FAQ/licensing.html#directory…) indicates that the Directory Server core code is licensed under a GPL + Exception license that allows non-GPL 389-ds plugins to link to 389-ds and to use specific header files. However, the LICENSE file in the current 389-ds-base source does not contain this exception. It was apparently removed by the following commit, when the license was changed to GPLv3+: https://pagure.io/389-ds-base/c/88cae401aee39a19ac6b07c3c36ee8daa07192e7 Does that means that the license exception does not apply to the current version of 389-ds? Regards, Vincent Duvert

Replication with SSLCLIENTAUTH: server sent no certificate
by Eugen Lamers 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

I'm trying to setup a replication with a certificate based authentication between supplier and consumer. The certificates in the certdb at /etc/dirsrv/slapd-XXX contain the very same CA with which the respective server certificates in the certdbs have been signed. The certificates all have the 'u' flag, and the CA has the C and T flag. The replication (on the supplier) has been setup such that TLS and certificate based authentication is used, see extract from the replication agreement object: objectclass: nsds5ReplicationAgreement nsds5replicahost: <consumer-hostname> nsds5replicaport: 389 nsds5replicatransportinfo: TLS nsds5replicabindmethod: SSLCLIENTAUTH Trying to initialize the consumer raises this error in the error-log of the supplier (the host sending the starttls connection request): Replication bind with EXTERNAL auth failed: LDAP error 48 (Inappropriate authentication) (missing client certificate) The certificate that the server should have sent can, however, be used with the ldap commandline tools as ldapsearch. In this case a wireshark trace clearly shows that the client sends the certificate during the TLS handshake, while in the above case it doesn't. The TLS handshake defines that the client has to send an "empty certificate" if it does not have a certificate that has been issued by a CA offered by the server during the handshake. I can't see a reason for the client to think the condition isn't met. The certificate with which the server (supplier) is setup is the only one available. Is it possible that the server does not know which certificate it has to use for authentication with the consumer server? And if so, how do I make the server know? The 389-ds in use is the version 1.4.1.6~git0.5ac5a8aad. The problem was the same with 1.4.0.3. Thanks, Eugen

Max number of users in a group?
by murmansk＠hotmail.com 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

We have a two machine 389DS multimaster cluster holding about 850.000 users. It's been working great for over three years now. But we are creating some big groups, that will have about 150.000 users in them. I've read in the list some posts about groups larger than that. But I would like to know if there is any limit or precaution when working with groups this size?

Limits for Multi Master Replication?
by Eugen Lamers 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

Hi, We use the 389 Directory Server version 1.4.2.15. In the documentation of the Red Hat Directory Server it says, as many as 20 masters are supported in an MMR. It sounds to be a hardcoded limitation defined to avoid overloaded servers and network. Shouldn't it be depending on the MMR topology, i.e. rather on the total number of replication agreements within the whole scenario? Or does "20 masters" indeed mean that the limitation of the MMR topology is the number of 380 replication agreements as shown in the "fully connected mesh" scenario (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/10/h…) with 20 masters and 20x19 replication agreements? Is there someone who possibly has experience with scenarios of more than 20 master servers? Thanks, Eugen

Fwd: 389-AD on CentOS 8
by Mark Reynolds 21 Oct '20

21 Oct '20

Forwarding to the correct list... First it is NOT 389 Actrive Directory Server. Active Directory is Microsoft's LDAP server... Going back to your question, there is no 389-admin package on CentOS 8 anymore. There is a new Web UI that is a Cockpit plugin (cockpit-389-ds). For more info see the admin guide: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/11/ Regards, Mark -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: 389-AD on CentOS 8 Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2020 10:03:09 +0100 From: Frank Allotey <noblyfrank(a)gmail.com> To: 389-users-owner(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Hello team, I wanted to get hands-on experience with the 389 active directory but then after doing the installation on a server I seem not to find my way around for an admin console. After further research on how to get the admin console failed I decided to revert to CentOS 7 but some of the repositories are not available for download. Kindly assist with the necessary support to achieve this. -- Kind Regards, Allotey Frank Kpakpo +233241293585 +233501373619 /DISCLAIMER: / /The content of this email is confidential and intended for the recipient specified in message only.

Hi List I'm looking for a solution for the following ldapdelete error in a multimaster replication cfg with memberof pluging enabled locally on each server and excluded from replication agreement : ldapdelete -D "cn=directory manager" -W -x "ou=Users,ou=ds,dcxxxxx " "(uid=9995)" Enter LDAP Password: ldap_delete: Operation not allowed on non-leaf (66) My DS version is : 389-ds-base-1.3.7.5-24.el7_5.x86_64 Running a basic search for this error seems this was a known bug in older version 7 years ago which I assume is been fixed. Thank you Isabella
