Installation

  1. System Update:

    • sudo yum upgrade

  2. Install required packages:

    • sudo yum install openldap openldap-clients openldap-servers openssl vim
    • sudo cp /usr/share/openldap-servers/DB_CONFIG.example /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG
    • sudo chown -R ldap:ldap /var/lib/ldap/
    • sudo systemctl enable slapd
    • sudo systemctl start slapd

  3. Setup openldap root password:

    • sudo slappasswd

      New password: <LDAP-ROOT-PW_CHANGEME>
Re-enter new password: <LDAP-ROOT-PW_CHANGEME>
{SSHA}nk8A/+uFKfDb1OhaYmPUFlQmWwcdtNF4

    • sudo mkdir /etc/openldap/scratch

    • sudo vim /etc/openldap/scratch/db.ldif

      dn: olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcSuffix
olcSuffix: dc=example,dc=org

dn: olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcRootDN
olcRootDN: cn=root,dc=example,dc=org

dn: olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcRootPW
olcRootPW: {SSHA}nk8A/+uFKfDb1OhaYmPUFlQmWwcdtNF4

    • sudo ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/scratch/db.ldif

    NOTES: From now until the end of this HOWTO, we'll consider that:

    • <LDAP-ROOT-PW_CHANGEME> ==> password

  4. Create Certificate/Key:

    • Self signed (3072 bit - 3 years before expiration) - This HOWTO will use Self Signed Certificate for LDAP:

      sudo openssl req -newkey rsa:3072 -x509 -nodes -out /etc/openldap/$(hostname -f).crt -keyout /etc/openldap/$(hostname -f).key -days 1095 -subj "/CN=$(hostname -f)"

sudo chown ldap:ldap /etc/openldap/$(hostname -f).crt

sudo chown ldap:ldap /etc/openldap/$(hostname -f).key

    • Signed:

      sudo openssl req -new -newkey rsa:3072 -nodes -out /etc/pki/tls/$(hostname -f).csr -keyout /etc/pki/tls/private/$(hostname -f).key -subj "/C=IT/CN=$(hostname -f)"

      (According to NSA and NIST, RSA with 3072 bit-modulus is the minimum to protect up to TOP SECRET over than 2030)

  5. Enable SSL for LDAP:

    • sudo vim /etc/openldap/ldap.conf

      #TLS_CACERTDIR  /etc/openldap/certs
TLS_CACERT      /etc/openldap/ldap.example.org.crt

    • sudo chown ldap:ldap /etc/openldap/ldap.conf

NOTES: Be sure to have set the correct FQDN in the /etc/hosts file

  1. Restart OpenLDAP:
    • sudo systemctl restart slapd

Configuration

  1. Import LDAP schemas

    • sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.ldif
    • sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/ppolicy.ldif
    • sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.ldif
    • sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/openldap.ldif
    • sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/dyngroup.ldif

  2. Configure LDAP for SSL:

    • sudo vim /etc/openldap/olcTLS.ldif

      dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcTLSCACertificateFile
olcTLSCACertificateFile: /etc/openldap/ldap.example.org.crt
-
replace: olcTLSCertificateFile
olcTLSCertificateFile: /etc/openldap/ldap.example.org.crt
-
replace: olcTLSCertificateKeyFile
olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/openldap/ldap.example.org.key

    • sudo ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/olcTLS.ldif

  3. Add openldap binding to LDAPS (optional):

    LDAPS uses 636 port , LDAP (StartTLS or Plain) uses 389 port

    • sudo vim /etc/sysconfig/slapd

      SLAPD_URLS="ldapi:/// ldap:/// ldaps:///"

    • sudo systemctl restart slapd

  4. Create organization and root user in LDAP (example.org):

    Pay great attention on LDIFs that will change part of the distinguished name (dn).
    The dn must be globally unique, because it is used to refer to an entry unambiguously. The DN will be always lowercase.

    On the following example, the first part of the DN, dc=example,
    must match with the dc: example provided by the LDIF.

    In a few words: dc=example must match with dc: example

    Useful tool: domain2dn

    • sudo vim /etc/openldap/scratch/add_org.ldif

      dn: dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: Example Organization
dc: example

    • sudo ldapadd -W -D "cn=root,dc=example,dc=org" -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/scratch/add_org.ldif

  5. Create three branches, peole, groups and system, with:

    Pay great attention on LDIFs that will change part of the distinguished name (dn).
    The dn must be globally unique, because it is used to refer to an entry unambiguously.
    The DN will be always lowercase

    On the following example, the first part of the DN, ou=people,
    must match with the dc: People provided by the LDIF.

    In a few words: dc=people must match with dc: People

    Same behaviour for Groups and Systems

    • vim /etc/openldap/scratch/add_ou.ldif

      dn: ou=people,dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top
ou: People

dn: ou=groups,dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top
ou: Groups

dn: ou=system,dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top
ou: System

    • sudo ldapadd -W -D "cn=root,dc=example,dc=org" -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/scratch/add_ou.ldif

    • Verify with: sudo ldapsearch -x -b dc=example,dc=org

  6. Create the idpuser needed to perform "Bind and Search" operations:

    Pay great attention on LDIFs that will change part of the distinguished name (dn).
    The dn must be globally unique, because it is used to refer to an entry unambiguously.
    The DN will be always lowercase

    On the following example, the first part of the DN, cn=idpuser,
    must match with the cn: idpuser provided by the LDIF.

    In a few words: cn=idpuser must match with cn: idpuser

    • Generate password: slappasswd

    • sudo vim /etc/openldap/scratch/add_idpuser.ldif

      dn: cn=idpuser,ou=system,dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
cn: idpuser
sn: idpuser
givenName: idpuser
userPassword: <INSERT-HERE-IDPUSER-PW>

    • sudo ldapadd -W -D "cn=root,dc=example,dc=org" -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/scratch/add_idpuser.ldif

  7. Configure OpenLDAP ACL to allow 'idpuser' to perform 'search' on the directory:

    • Check which configuration your directory has with: sudo ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b cn=config 'olcDatabase={2}hdb'

    • Configure ACL for 'idpuser' with: sudo vim /etc/openldap/scratch/olcAcl.ldif

      dn: olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config
changeType: modify
replace: olcAccess
olcAccess: {0}to * by dn.exact=gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth manage by * break
olcAccess: {1}to attrs=userPassword by self write by anonymous auth by dn="cn=root,dc=example,dc=org" write by * none
olcAccess: {2}to dn.base="" by anonymous auth by * read
olcAccess: {3}to dn.base="cn=Subschema" by * read
olcAccess: {4}to * by dn.exact="cn=idpuser,ou=system,dc=example,dc=org" read by anonymous auth by self read

    • sudo ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/scratch/olcAcl.ldif

  8. Check that 'idpuser' can search other users (when users exist):

    • sudo ldapsearch -x -D 'cn=idpuser,ou=system,dc=example,dc=org' -W -b "ou=people,dc=example,dc=org"

  9. Install needed schemas (eduPerson, SCHAC, Password Policy):

    • Run the following commands:

      cd /etc/openldap/schema

sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GEANT/ansible-shibboleth/master/roles/openldap/files/eduperson-201602.ldif -o eduperson.ldif

sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GEANT/ansible-shibboleth/master/roles/openldap/files/schac-20150413.ldif -o schac.ldif

sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/eduperson.ldif

sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/schac.ldif

    • Verify all with: ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b cn=schema,cn=config dn

  10. Add memberof Configuration:

    1. sudo vim /etc/openldap/scratch/add_memberof.ldif

      dn: cn=module,cn=config
cn: module
objectClass: olcModuleList
olcModuleLoad: memberof
olcModulePath: /usr/lib64/openldap/

dn: olcOverlay={0}memberof,olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config
objectClass: olcConfig
objectClass: olcMemberOf
objectClass: olcOverlayConfig
objectClass: top
olcOverlay: memberof
olcMemberOfDangling: ignore
olcMemberOfRefInt: TRUE
olcMemberOfGroupOC: groupOfNames
olcMemberOfMemberAD: member
olcMemberOfMemberOfAD: memberOf

    2. sudo ldapadd -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/scratch/add_memberof.ldif

    3. sudo vim /etc/openldap/scratch/add_refint1.ldif

      dn: cn=module{0},cn=config
add: olcmoduleload
olcmoduleload: refint

    4. sudo ldapmodify -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/scratch/add_refint1.ldif

    5. sudo vim /etc/openldap/scratch/add_refint2.ldif

      dn: olcOverlay={1}refint,olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config
objectClass: olcConfig
objectClass: olcOverlayConfig
objectClass: olcRefintConfig
objectClass: top
olcOverlay: {1}refint
olcRefintAttribute: memberof member manager owner

    6. sudo ldapadd -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/scratch/add_refint2.ldif

  11. Improve performance:

    • sudo vim /etc/openldap/scratch/olcDbIndex.ldif

      dn: olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcDbIndex
olcDbIndex: objectClass eq
olcDbIndex: member eq
olcDbIndex: cn pres,eq,sub
olcDbIndex: ou pres,eq,sub
olcDbIndex: uid pres,eq
olcDbIndex: entryUUID eq
olcDbIndex: sn pres,eq,sub
olcDbIndex: mail pres,eq,sub

    • sudo ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/scratch/olcDbIndex.ldif

  12. Configure Logging:

    • sudo vim /etc/rsyslog.d/99-slapd.conf

      local4.* /var/log/openldap.log

    • sudo vim /etc/openldap/scratch/olcLogLevelStats.ldif

      dn: cn=config
changeType: modify
replace: olcLogLevel
olcLogLevel: stats

    • sudo ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/scratch/olcLogLevelStats.ldif

    • sudo service rsyslog restart

    • sudo service slapd restart

  13. Configure openLDAP olcSizeLimit:

    • sudo vim /etc/openldap/scratch/olcSizeLimit.ldif

      dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcSizeLimit
olcSizeLimit: unlimited

dn: olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcSizeLimit
olcSizeLimit: unlimited

    • sudo ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/scratch/olcSizeLimit.ldif

  14. Add an user:

    Pay great attention on LDIFs that will change part of the distinguished name (dn).
    The dn must be globally unique, because it is used to refer to an entry unambiguously.
    The DN will be always lowercase

    On the following example, the first part of the DN, uid=user1,
    must match with the uid: user1 provided by the LDIF.

    In a few words: uid=user1 must match with uid: user1

    • sudo vim /etc/openldap/scratch/user1.ldif

      # USERNAME: user1 , PASSWORD: password
# Generate a new password with: sudo slappasswd -s <newPassword>
dn: uid=user1,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org
changetype: add
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: eduPerson
uid: user1
sn: User1
givenName: Test
cn: Test User1
displayName: Test User1
preferredLanguage: en
userPassword: {SSHA}nk8A/+uFKfDb1OhaYmPUFlQmWwcdtNF4
mail: [email protected]
eduPersonAffiliation: student
eduPersonAffiliation: staff
eduPersonAffiliation: member

    • sudo ldapadd -D "cn=root,dc=example,dc=org" -W -f /etc/openldap/scratch/user1.ldif

  15. Check that 'idpuser' can find user1:

    • sudo ldapsearch -x -D 'cn=idpuser,ou=system,dc=example,dc=org' -W -b "uid=user1,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org"

  16. Check that LDAP anonymous binding work with StartTLS:

    • sudo ldapwhoami -H ldap:// -x -ZZ

      anonymous

  17. Disable Anonymous binding:

    • sudo vim /etc/openldap/scratch/disableAnonymousBind.ldif:

      dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcDisallows
olcDisallows: bind_anon

dn: olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcRequires
olcRequires: authc

    • sudo ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/scratch/disableAnonymousBind.ldif

  18. Check that LDAP StartTLS is working for idpuser and not anymore for anonymous user:

    • sudo ldapwhoami -x -D 'cn=idpuser,ou=system,dc=example,dc=org' -W -ZZ -v

      ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
Enter LDAP Password:
dn:cn=idpuser,ou=system,dc=example,dc=org
Result: Success (0)

    • sudo ldapwhoami -H ldap:// -x -ZZ

      ldap_bind: Inappropriate authentication (48)
          additional info: anonymous bind disallowed

Utilities
