I recently installed openldap on RHEL 7. Service is running and slaptest is find too. But when I try to connect using Apache Directory Studio, it fails.
[root#openldap.redhat ~]$ netstat -tulpn | grep slapd

Older versions of OpenLDAP (2.4 or older, I believe) do not support hot removal of overlays – they can only be added via LDAP, but removing them needs to be done offline (i.e. with the slapd service stopped).
The official method is to dump the cn=config database slapcat -n 0 into an LDIF file, edit it as needed, then delete the whole slapd.d directory and rebuild it from LDIF using slapadd -n 0.
The unofficial method is to rm just the corresponding files from within slapd.d/cn=config/.
My ldap.conf looks like: (server and client on the same machine)
# TLS certificates (needed for GnuTLS)
TLS_CACERT /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Enter LDAP Password:
I don't know what password I am supposed to use, I tried leaving as is and entering x. Adding a real password, but every time I run, I get invalid credentials. I thought that you add the password after the user was created.
The -D option is used for binding (which account is used to perform the operation), so you need to provide a DN corresponding to a user with sufficient permissions to achieve the ldapadd.
Usually that kind of operations are performed by the LDAP admin/manager, probably cn=admin,dc=hdlldaptest,dc=net in your case.
If your directory supports it, you can also bind using SASL mechanism, for example 'EXTERNAL' (usually TLS or Unix IPC) :
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f qa_test.ldif
Thanks for reading
Here's an screenshot of my ldap
This command:
docker exec ldap-service ldapsearch -v -x -H ldap://localhost:389 -b dc=everteam,dc=us -D "cn=admin,dc=everteam,dc=us" -w everteam cn=estebanf
... return the result I'm looking for:

.. doesn't. The difference is that I'm using the full dn
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=everteam,dc=us> with scope subtree
# filter: cn=estebanf,ou=People,dc=everteam,dc=us
# requesting: ALL

# numResponses: 1
ldap_initialize( ldap://localhost:389/??base )
filter: cn=estebanf,ou=People,dc=everteam,dc=us
requesting: All userApplication attributes
Any suggestion on how to make the search with the full dn work?. The software I'm trying to integrate with openldap will issue a search with full DN and I have no way to change that.
Thanks!
Try something like:
ldapsearch -v -x -H ldap://localhost:389 -b cn=estebanf,ou=People,dc=everteam,dc=us -D "cn=admin,dc=everteam,dc=us" -w everteam --searchScope base "(objectclass=*)" '*'
Which performs a search at the individual user entry requesting all attributes.

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

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.
I start my test openldap server on RedHat enterprise linux 6.5. I configured it properly I think. I add my base.ldif file which looks like that:
dn: dc=example,dc=com
dc: example
description: Root LDAP entry for example.com
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: rootObject
dn: ou=People,dc=exapmle,dc=com
ou: People
description: All people in organisation
objectClass: organizationalUnit
Using command:
ldapadd -x -W -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -f base.ldif
I got an output:
[root#melita-bladekp ~]# ldapadd -x -W -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -f base.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "dc=example,dc=com"
adding new entry "ou=People,dc=exapmle,dc=com"
ldap_add: Server is unwilling to perform (53)
additional info: no global superior knowledge
But i tried second time and I receive:
[root#melita-bladekp ~]# ldapadd -x -W -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -f base.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "dc=example,dc=com"
ldap_add: Already exists (68)
So it looks okay for me, next I tried to add an user:
dn: uid=ldapuser100,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
uid: ldapuser100
cn: ldapuser100
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
objectClass: shadowAccount
userPassword: {crypt}$6$E/tH1oRF$9.Km8Xs/wDIFgWgTT.domcw0PJGUZqK7mqdFPaNru2il5LMgsxaowq5bvjulQLR8CqSq.Pw.brZU77fzviQPG.

shadowMax: 99999
shadowWarning: 7
loginShell: /bin/bash
uidNumber: 1400
gidNumber: 1400
homeDirectory: /exports/ldapuser100
Using command:
[root#melita-bladekp ~]# ldapadd -x -W -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -f ldapuser100.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "uid=ldapuser100,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com"
ldap_add: No such object (32)
matched DN: dc=example,dc=com
And I receive that DN didn't exists. I think there is problem with that base file, do you have any idea what I can do to fix it?

It looks like you have a typo in the dn of your LDIF
dn: ou=People,**dc=exapmle**,dc=com
If you change exapmle to example and re-run the LDIF with continue on error you should get the example entry and then you will be able to add your user afterwards.
