I have to clone data between two openLDAP servers. I obtain LDIF from source but I have a problem with import. I have error like
root#dc:/etc/ldap/schema# ldapadd -Y external -H ldapi:/// -f /tmp/export.ldif
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
adding new entry "cn=Tomasz Topolski,ou=Pracownicy,dc=tropico,dc=local"
ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)
additional info: objectClass: value #3 invalid per syntax
After googling I saw that problem is with 4th objectClass (because it start counting from 0), so i check and 4th objectClass in my exported ldif is
objectClass: user
And main question is. How to add this objectClass to my LDAP ?
If you are looking for migrating all configs, can use slapcat with "-n 0" as parameter to export the all configs including schema. Then, can add the schema first and then data.
But, if only this particular objectclass "user" is needed, then can follow below steps
Create a file user.schema with contents same as the source OPENLDAP user objectclass definition.
Create conf file user.conf
include ~/user.schema
Create a directory and run below commands
mkdir userdir
slaptest -f user.conf -F userdir
The resulting file in userdir can be used to add to schema
service slapd stop
slapadd -l -n 0
service slapd start

I have installed LDAP and I am able to start it.
While I am trying to modify the olcDatabase={2}hdb.ldif file I am getting "ldap_modify: No such object (32)" error.
Steps followed to modify
1) created a db.ldif file with below contains
dn: olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcSuffix
olcSuffix: dc= ec2,dc=internal
dn: olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcRootDN
olcRootDN: cn=admin,dc= ec2,dc=internal
dn: olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config
changeType: modify
add: olcRootPW
olcRootPW: {SSHA}6zHtA20qkTmdLrJSfxo+VV3QLGS7m0CZ
2) ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f db.ldif
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
modifying entry "olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config"
ldap_modify: No such object (32)
I am using centos7 and LDAP version openldap-clients-2.4.44-21.el7_6.x86_64
openldap-2.4.44-21.el7_6.x86_64
openldap-servers-sql-2.4.44-21.el7_6.x86_64

collectd-openldap-5.8.1-1.el7.x86_64
compat-openldap-2.3.43-5.el7.x86_64
Please help me fix this!!
There are two reasons for this result.
the entry actually doesn't exist,
it exists but you don't have permission to know that.
I suggest you try to search the cn=config database to see what it actually contains:
ldapsearch -H ldapi:/// -Y EXTERNAL -b 'cn=config'
If the result is No such object (32), then gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth doesn't have access to the config database on your system.
If the search does return output, check whether the entry olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config is actually listed.
I had the same problem and to fix it I restarted slapd.service:
systemctl stop slapd.service
systemctl start slapd.service
I'm new to openLdap , I am setting up a module for monitoring using on-line configuration (OLC) based on this guide : https://blog.kmp.or.at/monitoring-openldap/.
i use ldapmodify as bellow :
ldapmodify -x -H ldap:/// -D "cn=config" -W -f module.ldif
result is :
modifying entry "cn=module{0},cn=config"
ldap_modify: No such object (32)
content of module.ldif is :
dn: cn=module{0},cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcModuleLoad
olcModuleLoad: {1}back_monitor
i understand that i can't modify on non-existing entry so i tried to add a new entry for DN = (cn=module,cn=config).
i tried to create new dn using :
dn: cn=module,cn=config
objectClass: olcModuleList
cn: module
olcModulepath: /etc/openldap/libexec/openldap
but i got this error
ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)
additional info: objectClass: value #0 invalid per syntax
Do i really need to create this DN , or it must be created during setup.
No, this entry is created during setup.
It seems you missed to setup slapd.d directory for online configuration (OLC) :
slapcat -f /path/to/slapd.conf -F /path/to/slapd.d
Also, choose the appropriate SASL mechanism for authentication :
Either use EXTERNAL mechanism with ldapi:/// transport (relies on the client process uid and gid via Unix sockets) :
`ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f module.ldif`
Or LDAP (default) with options -D and -W for binding :
` ldapmodify -x -H ldap://example.com -D cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com -W -f module.ldif`
Edit : Issue finally solved. The detail can be found in the troubleshooting part at the end of this message.
I leave the detailed steps here in case it could help somebody.
Setup OpenLDAP
I - Create the server
The documentation are often outdated and you will find multiple ways to achieve the same.
According to what I've read, the modern way to create a server is to use /etc/openldap/slapd.ldif instead of /etc/openldap/slapd.conf. Below is a sample configuration using letsencrypt certificates.
You can often convert a slapd.conf directive in slapd.ldif by prepending it with olc. Just make sure this is in the right dn block.
Make sure you create a directory /etc/openldap/slapd.d readable and writable by ldap user, and that slapd is stopped. Insert you're slapd.ldif into slapd.d with slapadd command. I run it using sudo -u ldap in order for slapadd to create files owned by ldap users. You can also run slapadd without sudo and then chown -R ldap:ldap /etc/openldap/slapd.d. What is important here is that all of you're /etc/openldap directory is readable / writable by user slapd run with.
$ sudo -u ldap slapadd -d -1 \
-F /etc/openldap/slapd.d \
-n 0 \
-f /etc/openldap/slapd.ldif
OpenLDAP configuration:

II - Setup the Directory Information Tree (DIT)
Start the server: $ systemctl start slapd
This will create a /var/lib/openldap-data/data.mdb (the directory may differ on your distro). If you have trouble or if you want to reset your OpenLDAP, you can rm -rf /etc/openldap/slapd.d/* /var/lib/openldap-data/{data.mdb,lock.mdb} after stopping slapd service and return to step I.
I changed my slapd.service to destroy /var/lib/openldap-data/lock.mdb because on my setup, this file is not removed when shutting down slapd and this prevents it to start again.
Content of the slapd.service:
# /etc/systemd/system/slapd.service
------------------------------------
[Unit]
Description=OpenLDAP Server Daemon
After=network.target
[Service]
# "-d n" stops slapd from forking
ExecStartPre = /bin/rm -f /var/lib/openldap-data/lock.mdb
ExecStart = /usr/lib64/openldap/slapd -u ldap -g ldap -h ${SLAPD_URLS} $SLAPD_OPTIONS -d1
ExecStopPost = /bin/rm -f /var/lib/openldap-data/lock.mdb
Restart = always
RestartSec = 180
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
# /etc/systemd/system/slapd.service.d/00gentoo.conf
------------------------------------
[Service]
Environment="HOME=/var/lib/openldap"
# Use the slapd configuration directory:
Environment="SLAPD_OPTIONS=-F /etc/openldap/slapd.d"
Environment="SLAPD_URLS=ldaps:/// ldap://127.0.0.1:389/ ldapi://127.0.0.1"
Environment="KRB5_KTNAME=FILE:/etc/openldap/ldap.keytab"
Ensure certificates can be read by ldap user:
$ useradd -r letsencrypt
$ chown -R letsencrypt:letsencrypt /etc/letsencrypt
$ gpasswd -a ldap letsencrypt
$ chmod 750 /etc/letsencrypt/{live,archive}
Then add ldif files that builds the DIT:
$ ldapadd -x -W -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -f ${PATH_TO_FILES}
# example.com.ldif
------------------------------------
# Create example dn
dn: dc=example,dc=com
dc: example
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: Example Organization
# Create Manager role
dn: cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com
cn: Manager
description: LDAP Administrator
objectClass: organizationalROle
objectClass: top
roleOccupant: dc=example,dc=com
# users.ldif
------------------------------------

ou: People
description: Users of Example
# groups.ldif
------------------------------------
dn: ou=Group,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: Group
description: Groups of Example
III - Setup the LDAP client
Configure ldap.conf:
# /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
------------------------------------
BASE dc=example,dc=com
URI ldaps://example.com
TLS_CACERT /etc/letsencrypt/live/example/chain.pem
TLS_REQCERT allow
TIMELIMIT 2
Setup Kerberos
I - Configure the server
Server config (mit-krb5):
# /etc/krb5.conf
------------------------------------
[logging]
default = FILE:/var/log/krb5/libs.log
kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5/kdc.log
admin_server = FILE:/var/log/krb5/kadmind.log
[libdefaults]
default_realm = EXAMPLE.COM
[realms]
EXAMPLE.COM = {
kdc = example.com
admin_server = example.com
default_domain = example.com
database_module = openldap_ldapconf
}
[domain_realm]
example.com = EXAMPLE.COM
.example.com = EXAMPLE.COM
[dbdefaults]
ldap_kerberos_container_dn = cn=krbContainer,dc=example,dc=com
[dbmodules]
openldap_ldapconf = {
db_library = kldap
ldap_kdc_dn = "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"
ldap_kadmind_dn = "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"
ldap_service_password_file = /etc/krb5kdc/service.keyfile
ldap_servers = ldaps://example.com
ldap_conns_per_server = 5
}
Then, create the realm: $ kdb5_util -r EXAMPLE.COM create -s
II - Configure OpenLDAP backend
Setup the Kerberos OpenLDAP subtree:
$ kdb5_ldap_util -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" create -subtrees dc=example,dc=com -r EXAMPLE.COM -s -H ldap://127.0.0.1"
and create a local copy of the master key that resides in encrypted form on the KDC’s local disk for linking with OpenLDAP:
$ kdb5_ldap_util -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" stashsrvpw -f /etc/krb5kdc/service.keyfile cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com
This is also known as (aka) stash file.
III - Create a principal
Start the MIT Kerberos v5 services (krb5):
$ systemctl start krb5-kdc krb5-kadmind
Systemd services have been taken from ArchLinux packages (since Gentoo didn't provides those files):
krb5-kdc.service:
# /etc/systemd/system/krb5-kdc.service
------------------------------------
[Unit]
Description=Kerberos 5 KDC
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/krb5kdc -n
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
krb5-kadmind:
# /etc/systemd/system/krb5-kadmind.service
------------------------------------
[Unit]
Description=Kerberos 5 administration server
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/kadmind -nofork
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Fire up a kadmin console using $ kadmin.local:
Create a principal: $ add_principal root/admin#EXAMPLE.COM
Also create a principal for your current user: $ add_principal root#EXAMPLE.COM
Quit with: $ quit or $ q
Add this principal to kadm5.acl:
# /var/lib/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl
------------------------------------
root/admin#EXAMPLE.COM *
IV - Configure Key Distribution Center (KDC)
Configure kdc.conf:
# /var/lib/krb5kdc/kdc.conf
------------------------------------
[kdcdefaults]
kdc_ports = 750,88
[realms]
EXAMPLE.COM = {
database_name = /var/lib/krb5kdc/principal
acl_file = /var/lib/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl
key_stash_file = /var/lib/krb5kdc/.k5.EXAMPLE.COM
kdc_ports = 750,88
max_life = 10h 0m 0s
max_renewable_life = 7d 0h 0m 0s
}
Then restart krb5 services: $ systemctl restart krb5-kdc krb5-kadmind
V - Setup saslauthd
SASLAuthD is the daemon that will catch SASL requests from LDAP and convert them into Kerberos (or whatever authentication mecanism you use) requests. It is required if you want to use passwords of you're authentication service instead of LDAP passwords and will allow you for example:
userPassword: {SASL}user#EXAMPLE.COM
whereby EXAMPLE.COM is your realm and user is a principal.
Configure SASL2 slapd:
# /etc/sasl2/slapd.conf (Gentoo) or /usr/lib/sasl2 (Ubuntu)
------------------------------------
pwcheck_method:saslauthd
Make sure saslauthd is using Kerberos v5:
# /etc/conf.d/saslauthd (Gentoo) or /etc/default/saslauthd (Ubuntu)
------------------------------------
# -a describe the mechanism used
# -m is the working directory, where socket will be located
SASLAUTHD_OPTS="-a kerberos5 -m /run/saslauthd"
You can check the parameters in the man page or using $ saslauthd -h. Make sure to use the appropriate variables in this files. You can see which one are used with $ systemctl cat saslauthd on a systemd setup.
Make also sure the socket (/run/saslauthd/mux) is readable / writable by saslauthd.
Start the service using
$ systemctl start saslauthd
and check saslauthd is working using:
$ testsaslauthd -r YOURREALM -u someusernameyouwant -p somepassword
VI - Setup GSSAPI/SASL Authentication
Open up a kadmin console using $ kadmin.local and create GSSAPI principals and keytab files:
First create a service principal inside Kerberos database for your directory server, and create a keyfile containing an entry for that principal into openldap configuration directory.
You can replace instances of example.com but ldap/ should be written litteraly.
$ addprinc -randkey ldap/example.com#EXAMPLE.COM
$ ktadd -k /etc/openldap/ldap.keytab ldap/example.com#EXAMPLE.COM
Then create a host principal for the client, and its keytab. You can replace instances of example.com but host/ should be written litteraly.
$ addprinc -randkey host/example.com#EXAMPLE.COM
$ ktadd -k /etc/krb5.keytab host/example.com#EXAMPLE.COM
And quit: $ quit
Make sure ldap.keytab is readable for ldap user/group only:
$ chown ldap:ldap /etc/openldap/ldap.keytab
$ chmod 640 /etc/openldap/ldap.keytab
Ensure to get a fresh Kerberos ticket:
$ kinit
And it's done, you've setup a Kerberos server with OpenLDAP backend.
You can now tell OpenLDAP to use Kerberos passwords when you create / modify users:
userPassword: {SASL}root#EXAMPLE.COM
For example, you can create a file.ldif containing the following, and add it using ldapadd as previously:
dn: uid=root,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
uid: root
cn: root
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
objectClass: shadowAccount
userPassword: {SASL}root#EXAMPLE.COM
loginShell: /bin/zsh
uidNumber: 0
gidNumber: 0
homeDirectory: /root
gecos: root
You can also search using ldapsearch with no arguments.
Troubleshooting
As my initial question is now solved
Server ldap/example.com#EXAMPLE.COM not found in Kerberos database)
here are some tips when you encounter some problems:
Check logs
slapd.service: Use journalctl -xe (My service type is not Forking, and the flag -d 9 will print the log in systemd journal. You can disable logging with -d 0, but keep the flag -d, or declare it as Type: Forking)
krb5-kdc: Check out /var/log/krb5/kdc.log or whatever you've set inside /etc/krb5.conf
krb5-kadmind: Check /var/log/krb5/kadmind.log or whatever you've set inside /etc/krb5.conf
saslauthd: You need to enable debugging with flag -d. Either run saslauthd in a shell with this flag or add this flag to /etc/conf.d/saslauthd (Gentoo) or /etc/default/saslauthd (Ubuntu) and use journalctl -xe to see them.
Problem
Server ldap/example.com#EXAMPLE.COM not found in Kerberos database
When I run $ ldapsearch or $ ldapwhoami, I'm having the following error:
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Local error (-2)
additional info: SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure.
Minor code may provide more information (Server ldap/example.com#EXAMPLE.COM not found in Kerberos database)
Solution
Check that you correctly followed step V and VI of Kerberos setup. You need a keytab readable by OpenLDAP. You can place it where you want and name it as you want. Also make sure the Environmental variable KRB5_KTNAME is set (either in systemd service or in you're init system / in the shell you run slapd), pointing to that keytab.
The host keytab should be placed at /etc/krb5.keytab. It may not be important for ldapsearch / ldapapi (I didn't check if it works without) but it is required for daemons such as SSSD.
Problem
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Invalid credentials (49)
When I run $ ldapsearch or $ ldapwhoami, I'm having the following error :
SASL/GSSAPI authentication started
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Invalid credentials (49)
additional info: SASL(-13): authentication failure: GSSAPI
Failure: gss_accept_sec_context
Solution
Try to refresh you're Kerberos ticket: $ kinit
Credits
Hope those steps could help some others beginners, credits goes to:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kerberos
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/kerberos-ldap.html
And some others guides (check out Setting Up Kerberos Authentication on Fedora)
Ok so I finally solved my answer :
I simply needed to create the server on Kerberos, and create a keyfile containing it.
$ addprinc -randkey ldap/example.com#EXAMPLE.COM
$ ktadd -k /etc/openldap/ldap.keytab ldap/example.com#EXAMPLE.COM
Slapd wasn't aware of that file so I added the environment variable to my slapd.service :
# /etc/krb5.conf
------------------------------------
Environment="KRB5_KTNAME=FILE:/etc/openldap/ldap.keytab"
I also needed to configure saslauthd and run it :
Configure daemon :
# /etc/conf.d/saslauthd (gentoo) or /etc/default/saslauthd (ubuntu)
------------------------------------
# -a describe the mechanism used
# -m is the working directory, where socket will be located
SASLAUTHD_OPTS="-a kerberos5 -m /run/saslauthd"
Configure options :
# /etc/sasl2/slapd.conf (gentoo) or /usr/lib/sasl2 (ubuntu)
------------------------------------
pwcheck_method:saslauthd
Start it : $ systemctl start saslauthd
An error then showed up :
SASL/GSSAPI authentication started
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Invalid credentials (49)
additional info: SASL(-13): authentication failure: GSSAPI
Failure: gss_accept_sec_context
This was because my kerberos ticket expired.
I just ran $ kinit and it solved the problem.
I edited the question to add missing steps to the "guide" part, feel free to edit name / improve it / copy / paste. Thanks.
My current problem is that i cannot stop OpenLDAP to store passwords as plaintext. In an older openLDAP version , i entered following configuration in the slapd.conf
ppolicy_hash_cleartext
password-hash {SSHA} {SHA}
So once a password was sent from my application as plaintext, the ldap was encrypting it and storing it encrypted.
Unfortunately i was not able to configure OpenLDAP 2.4.40. I found out that the slapd.conf does not exist anymore in the newer version and instead the configuration is taking place in the cn=config.ldif file.
I tried to add again the same configuration there but it seems that it has no effect.
EDIT : I added with ldapmodify the olcPasswordHash: {SSHA} entry in olcBackend={0}mdb.ldif , olcDatabase={1}mdb.ldif , olcDatabase={0}config.ldif and cn=config.ldif , still my passwords that are sent as plaintext are stored as plaintext.
Took some time, but figured out finally.
Load schema describing ppolicy attributes.
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/ppolicy.ldif
Create a ppolicy_module.ldif with the following content and make sure that the ppolicy.la is located under the defined olcModulePath. Store the file under /etc/ldap
dn: cn=module,cn=config
objectClass: olcModuleList
cn: module
olcModuleLoad: ppolicy.la
olcModulePath: /usr/lib/ldap
Add the ppolicy_module.ldif
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f ppolicy_module.ldif
Create a ppolicy-overlay.ldif file with the following content. Make sure of the olcDatabase number . In this case it is olcDatabase={1}mdb . Store the file under /etc/ldap
dn: olcOverlay=ppolicy,olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config
objectClass: olcPPolicyConfig
olcOverlay: ppolicy
olcPPolicyDefault: cn=ppolicy,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com
olcPPolicyUseLockout: FALSE
olcPPolicyHashCleartext: TRUE
Add LDIF file.
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f ./ppolicy-overlay.ldif
Restart ldap.

I'm trying to install LDAP. I've installed slapd and the PhpLDAPAdmin tool on Debian, but when I'm logged in, I cannot do anything. Despite I've logged in as 'cn=admin,dc=barbucha', I see on the right side instead of the tree:
Logged in as: dc=example,dc=com
This base cannot be created with PLA.
I tried Google, but this error seems to be a rare one. I've created a database there is the 'cn=admin,dc=barbucha' in. (Otherwise I could not use the name to log in.)
This happens quite rarely. From an unknown reason the configuring process didn't get data from the LDAP server and didn't set proper values in the /etc/phpldapadmin/config.php script. Somewhere near by line 300 were two important lines generated erroneously:
$servers->setValue('server','base',array('dc=example,dc=com'));
$servers->setValue('login','bind_id','cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com');
These settings uses PhpLDAPAdmin to access LDAP datatase regardless to the login name you've been logged in with. To update these lines helped:
$servers->setValue('server','base',array('dc=barbucha'));
$servers->setValue('login','bind_id','cn=admin,dc=barbucha');
probably you should add a LDAP root first:
create a file in /etc/openldap/
vim /etc/openldap/base.ldif
then input:
dn: dc=em,dc=com
o: RDCenter
objectclass: dcobject
