To deny a LDAP user, we can use LDAP filter for Common Name i.e., CN as '(!(cn=username))'.
But how to deny by Organizational Unit i.e., OU?
'(!(ou=projectmail))' not working.
I don't want to allow users with ou as projectmail
It's possible to define a filter on the DN attributes, with the following filter:
(ou:dn:=group1).
In your case, you may want to use (!(ou:dn:group1))

I am new to LDAP (currently using OpenLDAP 2.4) and I am struggling to define a ACL entry that will manage the various Access Levels for entries that are child entries of an OU.
The structure is as follows:
cn=user1,ou=users,dc=somedomain,dc=com
cn=user2,ou=users,dc=somedomain,dc=com
This is what I currently have, but when implemented, the children of the OU "users" don't have the access level as required:
access to dn.subtree="ou=users,dc=somedomain,dc=com"
by dn.subtree="ou=users,dc=somedomain,dc=com" read
by * none
I would like to have all the children of the OU to only be able to read the contents of the OU and it's children.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Hallo I need help to optimize a LDAP Filter string because the Ldap filter is too long (maximum is 255 characters) for my tool (Foreman).
My LDAP curent Ldap filter
(|
(memberOf=cn=admingoup,ou=groups,OU=admin,DC=xxx,DC=de)
(memberOf=CN=group1,OU=dd,OU=cc,OU=ab,DC=xxx,DC=de)
(memberOf=CN=group2,OU=dd,OU=cc,OU=ab,DC=xxx,DC=de)
)
This work but i need a soultion like
(|
(memberOf=cn=admingoup,ou=groups,OU=admin,DC=xxx,DC=de)
(memberOf=CN=*,OU=dd,OU=cc,OU=ab,DC=xxx,DC=de)
)
I don't think you can work your way out without making modifications on your constraints somewhere :
Allow longer filter in foreman
Modify the LDAP directory to allow substring match on the memberOf attribute
Modify your filter. A way to do it could be :
search base dn : DC=xxx,DC=de
search filter : (&(objectclass=group)(|(cn=admingroup)(cn=group1)(cn=group2))) (This is an example, the point is to match only the group you need, maybe using the entry id if necessary)
attribute retrieve member (or the equivalent)
What it will do is to retrieve all the members of these groups, dupplicate members should not be a probleme for access control I presume
I am setting up gitlab to have LDAP access.
I would like to give access to 2 seperate OU's OU=Users,OU=Dept1,OU=land,DC=my,DC=com and OU=Users,OU=Dept2,OU=land,DC=my,DC=com (basically the users of 2 departments.
I believe that I would have to set the base to OU=land,DC=my,DC=com and then use a user_filer (Format: RFC 4515)
Probably something of the sort
(|(ou=Dept1)(ou=Dept2))
How do I extend this to specify only for the USERS within those ou's? Thanks
Note:
When I use the Filter: (objectClass=user)I am given access
however if i change it to any of the following I am refused access
(&(objectClass=user)(ou=Users))
(&(objectClass=user)(ou=Dept1))
(&(objectClass=user)(ou=Users,ou=Dept1,ou=land))
(&(objectClass=user)(ou=Users,ou=Dept1,ou=land,dc=my,dc=com))
You should add an objectClass constraint to the filter to limit it only to users , say (&(objectClass=Person))
I have a problem adding user in a group using dirsrv, CentOS6.2.
Default schema, have user jmarsden in "People" and created a group into "Groups".
Tried to use any types of the group: groupOfNames, groupOfUniqueNames, posixgroup. Member (uniqueMember or memberUid) is successfully added as attribute.
member=uid=jmarsden,ou=People,dc=mymy,dc=localdomain
But when I fetch operational attributes using Apache Directory Studio there is not memberOf attribute for user jmarsden. Search with filter "memberOf=cn=M"* does not work either.
What am I doing wrong?
memberOf is an attribute that is most often associated with Active Directory.
Many LDAP implementation do not use an attribute on the user to represent which group the users are a member of.
Which LDAP implementation are your using?
If I added data on LDAP in this way:
$ldapserver = "mail";
$ds = ldap_connect($ldapserver);
$r = ldap_bind($ds, $ldaprootun, $ldaprootpw);
add = ldap_add($ds, "cn=$full_name,ou=$domain,o=mygroup.com", $infonew);
Then does that mean that when I log in to my account I will use:
`cn="mynameHere",ou="domainIused",o=mygroup.com`
as my username? Or just my uid?
My account cannot login but I'm sure that it exists in LDAP.
Answers are very much appreciated. =)
Typically in LDAP applications you only ned to login with your UID, not your full X.500 name.
Try calling ldap_bind() with your creds and see what it returns?
Usually, the user provides a simple name. Then the app searches the LDAP source for some attribute that has that value. Then you bind or password compare in your code, as that full DN.
You can use uid which is Unique ID, which is required to be unique. I.e. If you find more than one instance of it, that is an error.
You can try CN, but that can often be multi valued depending on your LDAP implementations schema.
If you know you are going against eDirectory, then uid is fine, or CN just do something if it is multi valued.
If you know you are going against Active Directory, you can assume sAMAccountName is unique since the system enforces uniqueness. userPrinicpalName ought to be unique, but nothing actually enforces it.
You can always use mail, which is the email address pretty uniformly.
