I've got a problem with JXplorer and other LDAP browsers - they don't show schema under schema tab.
I use OpenLdap 2.4. I'm using OLC i.e. I'm running slapd daemon with the -F option.
I can connect to cn=schema,cn=config and view/modify schema there.
But I want to be able to see the schema in the LDAP browsers like JXplorer.
What may I do wrong? Maybe I'm missing any important point here?
Thanks for any suggestions
It turned out to be a permissions case:
access to dn.base="" by * read
access to dn.base="cn=Subschema" by * read

I have setup three node secure NIFI cluster and integrated with LDAP for user login .
my doubts
In login-identity-providers.xml can we add multiple USER Search Base of ldap.(i tried by adding multiple usersearchbase but failed)
In LDAP user search should happen on multiple sub domains eg : DC=example1,dc=example,dc=com
DC=example2,dc=example,dc=com
on User-search-base in login-identity-providers.xml
TO achieve mutitenancy in ldap what is the configuration changes we need to make in identity provider.xml
tenant1 user should access process group define for tenant 1 itself and its not access for tenant2 users
From what I can tell, AND Assuming you are using Microsoft Active Directory if you use:
FOLLOW
It may work.
We also sometimes might use the Global Catalog (as then there are no referrals)
I also am guessing that the "empty" parameters should be removed (but I do NOT know how NIFI works).
I would suggest you also do tests with a LDAP Browser to make sure you know what your LDAP tree looks like. We use Apache Studio, but there are others.
More data on if it is Microsoft Active Directory and refer to https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask
Is it possible in any of the existing LDAP servers to edit a schema in one of the editors available? Like JXplorer, Apache Directory Studio, LDAP Admin?
I tried with OpenLDAP and all of the above tools (I run the server with -F option) but it looks like it's not possible to modify schema - add new attributes, add descriptions etc.
I would be grateful if any of you have some experience with this.
Cheers
Some LDAP servers allow (authorized users) to change the schema by sending LDAP modify operation affecting the so-called subschema subentry directly, but not OpenLDAP.
In OpenLDAP you have two possible configuration methods:
Static file configuration usually with schema files being simply included (aka slapd.conf) which requires slapd to be restarted to make configuration changes effective
Dynamic configuration backend back-config (aka cn=config) for which you can also define ACLs restricting access to your LDAP admins
The dynamic configuration method allows to tweak the schema via LDAP making it effective without server-restart. But you have to modify the multiple LDAP entries in sub-tree cn=schema,cn=config which you can do with any generic LDAP client.
Since schema descriptions usually reference other schema descriptions the order is important. Standard LDAP does not know about order of entries beneath an entry or order of attribute values. Therefore OpenLDAP implements an extension specified in draft-chu-ldap-xordered.
I am studying LDAP server(ADLDS)
I figured out that extended operation is implemented in ldap server.
For example, oid(1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.11.3) stands for whoami command.
If I give 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.11.3 to ldap server, server would respond who the user is.
In this situation, I hope to make my own command with new oid.
How can I make this possible?
Thank you.
Some LDAP directory servers will allow you to extend them and define your own extended operation. This needs code and some expertise in the internals of the server.
I would strongly recommend that you consider open source directory servers, if you want to pursue that route, as getting full access to the code will make things easier.
OpenDS provides command-line access to many necessary account functions via its manage-account utility. For example, to disable an account:
manage-account set-account-is-disabled --operationValue true
--baseDN uid=someuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" --hostname hostname --port 389
--bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" --bindPassword password
This is fine and dandy is you have a sysadmin to administer your ldap server but in a scenario where you have 1000s of users all over the globe this becomes a problem (imagine a user locked out of their account in Japan while the sysadmin is asleep in the US). We'd like to be able to programmatically tie into some of these manage-account functions so we can provide local admins/managers the ability to manage their own users.
Can anybody provide any insight on if this is possible and if so how? We are writing this in C# and I can't find any examples on it. Looking at the .NET API docs I thought System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.ExtendedRequest looked promising but cannot figure out how to use it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
The Manage-Account tool uses an LDAP extended operation, which code is in opends/src/server/org/opends/server/extensions/PasswordPolicyStateExtendedOperation.java.
Alternately, you can check the OpenDJ LDAP SDK, which has support for the extended operation, and will allow you to quickly write a client application.
OpenDJ LDAP SDK is documented at http://opendj.forgerock.org/opendj-ldap-sdk/ (and the doc is in the developer's guide : http://opendj.forgerock.org/doc/dev-guide/OpenDJ-Dev-Guide.html).

The source code for manage-account is available, one can re-create the encodings from there. Also, one could set up a directory server, run manage-account, record the steps the tool takes from the access log, then write code to re-create those steps.
I can configure Jenkins so it limits access to users on my ldap server by setting the Server and Root DN without a problem.
Now I want to tie down access a little more and only allow access to members of the groupOfNames cn=MyProject,ou=Group,dc=bogus,dc=biz, but I don't see how to do that in Jenkins.
Can someone explain how they configured Jenkins or Hudson to handle something like this ?
Thanks !
NOTE: I'm not sure if this would work for LDAP (we use active directory)
In the project configuration page, check Matrix-based security.
Remove all access for anonymous
Add your 'groupOfNames' to the "user/group to add" and give them the rights you want to.
Any user in that group should get the rights you assign. This is how we did it.
Old thread, I know. I got it working by installing the memberof and refint overlays on the OpenLDAP server (2.4.31) and setting the User Search Base on Jenkins to filter the result, i.e.
(&(uid={0})(memberOf=cn=MyGroupName,ou=group,dc=mydomain,dc=com))
