For use with Spacenet we've installed OpenLDAP on NURDServer. On the new NURDServices we're going serious with LDAP.

Connected workstations

Status

FusionDirectory is running on NURDServices.

It can be accessed on https://ldap.nurdspace.nl.

On Sinterklaas, Vjdeb and the PrinterPC it's working for the local users that existed:

  • Homedirs moved to NFS mount from Proxmox1
  • Local homedirs and users deleted (except user 'printer' on PrinterPC)
  • /home/ is mounted over NFS on boot
  • LDAP users can log in and see their homedirs as if nothing has changed
  • Users in the LDAP 'sudo' group can sudo on connected workstations.
  • Homedir is created on NFS-export when adding a user to LDAP (like this)
  • Port 636 (ldaps) is forwarded to NURDServices for future use by the Wiki

Setting up other workstations in this way

To get this to work you need to:

  • create all local users in LDAP (if they don't exist already)
  • delete local users (optional)
  • move homedirs to nurdservices (fix ownership because LDAP-users have a different UID)
  • delete local homedirs
  • mount /home from proxmox1:/mnt/md0/homedirs over nfs (put it in /etc/fstab)
  • install libnss-ldapd and libpam-ldap (URI ldaps://ldap.nurdspace.nl/)
  • put https://www.sslcertificaten.nl/files/PositiveSSLCA2.crt in /etc/ssl/certs/ with permissions 644
  • in nslcd.conf set the following:
uri ldaps://ldap.nurdspace.nl/
base dc=nurdspace,dc=lan
binddn cn=read-user,ou=systems,dc=nurdspace,dc=lan
bindpw (obtain from other machine)
ssl on
tls_reqcert demand
tls_cacertfile /etc/ssl/certs/PositiveSSLCA2.crt
  • restart nslcd
  • this information should also be used for pam_ldap.conf
  • sudo might not work until you type 'id' which is kind of a mystery

Also useful: http://www.debian-administration.org/article/OpenLDAP_installation_on_Debian#NSS_configuration

In certain cases sudo can break. This can be fixed with a patch while it's not fixed properly.

To do

  • Read http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html
  • FTPd nevermind
  • Samba nevermind
  • Cert installed for ldap.nurdspace.nl. Allow access only over TLS as soon as this works (ldapsearch -v -H ldaps://ldap.nurdspace.nl/ -D uid=fwd,ou=people,dc=nurdspace,dc=lan -W -b dc=nurdspace,dc=lan)
  • Fix "nurdservices slapd[32524]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (uid) not indexed" errors in /var/log/syslog
  • Connect machines to LDAP over ldaps instead of ldap.
  • Disable non-SSL ldap
  • Migrate all local users on Infra machines to LDAP
  • Migrate all homedirs to Proxmox1
  • Maintain sudo'ers only through the LDAP and disable local root accounts (backdoor in case of emergency?)
  • Disable all relevant services on Nurdserver v1
  • Exclude weak ciphers from olcTLSCipherSuite in cn=config
  • Setting "change password on first login" in FusionDirectory doesn't get enforced through PAM
  • Migrate wiki users and merge them with other users
  • Use LDAP as userdb back-end for wiki (like so)
  • Add all relevant fields of Wiki users to LDAP profiles
  • Maintain Members page from LDAP (Like so, but this has limitations. Maybe only members details pages?)
