5 LDAP with 389 Directory Server #
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a protocol designed to access and maintain information directories. LDAP can be used for tasks such as user and group management, system configuration management, and address management. In SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP2 the LDAP service is provided by the 389 Directory Server, replacing OpenLDAP.
Ideally, a central server stores the data in a directory and distributes it to all clients using a well-defined protocol. The structured data allow a wide range of applications to access them. A central repository reduces the necessary administrative effort. The use of an open and standardized protocol such as LDAP ensures that as many client applications as possible can access such information.
A directory in this context is a type of database optimized for quick and effective reading and searching. The type of data stored in a directory tends to be long lived and changes infrequently. This allows the LDAP service to be optimized for high performance concurrent reads, whereas conventional databases are optimized for accepting many writes to data in a short time.
5.1 Structure of an LDAP directory tree #
This section introduces the layout of an LDAP directory tree, and provides the basic terminology used with regard to LDAP. If you are familiar with LDAP, read on at 第 5.2.1 节 “Setting up a new 389 Directory Server instance”.
An LDAP directory has a tree structure. All entries (called objects) of the directory have a defined position within this hierarchy. This hierarchy is called the directory information tree (DIT). The complete path to the desired entry, which unambiguously identifies it, is called the distinguished name or DN. An object in the tree is identified by its relative distinguished name (RDN). The distinguished name is built from the RDNs of all entries on the path to the entry.
The relations within an LDAP directory tree become more evident in the following example, shown in 图 5.1 “Structure of an LDAP directory”.
The complete diagram is a fictional directory information tree. The
entries on three levels are depicted. Each entry corresponds to one box
in the image. The complete, valid distinguished name
for the fictional employee Geeko
Linux
, in this case, is cn=Geeko
Linux,ou=doc,dc=example,dc=com
. It is composed by adding the
RDN cn=Geeko Linux
to the DN of the preceding entry
ou=doc,dc=example,dc=com
.
The types of objects that can be stored in the DIT are globally determined following a Schema. The type of an object is determined by the object class. The object class determines what attributes the relevant object must or may be assigned. The Schema contains all object classes and attributes which can be used by the LDAP server. Attributes are a structured data type. Their syntax, ordering and other behavior is defined by the Schema. LDAP servers supply a core set of Schemas which can work in a broad variety of environments. If a custom Schema is required, you can upload it to an LDAP server.
表 5.1 “Commonly used object classes and attributes” offers a small overview of the object
classes from 00core.ldif
and
06inetorgperson.ldif
used in the example, including
required attributes (Req. Attr.) and valid attribute values. After installing
389 Directory Server, these can be found in
/usr/share/dirsrv/schema
.

5.2 Installing 389 Directory Server #
Install 389 Directory Server with the following command:
>
sudo
zypper install 389-ds
After installation, set up the server as described in 第 5.2.1 节 “Setting up a new 389 Directory Server instance”.
5.2.1 Setting up a new 389 Directory Server instance #
You will use the dscreate
command to create new 389 Directory Server
instances, and the dsctl
command to cleanly remove them.
There are two ways to configure and create a new instance: from a custom configuration file, and from an auto-generated template file. You can use the auto-generated template without changes for a test instance, though for a production system you must carefully review it and make any necessary changes.
Then you will set up administration credentials, manage users and groups, and configure identity services.
The 389 Directory Server is controlled by three primary commands:
dsctl
Manages a local instance and requires
root
permissions. Requires you to be connected to a terminal which is running the directory server instance. Used for starting, stopping, backing up the database, and more.dsconf
The primary tool used for administration and configuration of the server. Manages an instance's configuration via its external interfaces. This allows you to make configuration changes remotely on the instance.
dsidm
Used for identity management (managing users, groups, passwords, etc.). The permissions are granted by access controls, so, for example, users can reset their own password or change details of their own account.
Follow these steps to set up a simple instance for testing and development, populated with a small set of sample entries.
5.2.2 Creating a 389 Directory Server instance with a custom configuration file #
You can create a new 389 Directory Server instance from a simple custom configuration file. This file must be in the INF format, and you can name it anything you like.
The default instance name is localhost
. The instance name
cannot be changed after it has been created. It is better to create your own
instance name, rather than using the default, to avoid confusion and to
enable a better understanding of how it all works. The following examples
use the LDAP1 instance name, and a suffix of
dc=LDAP1,dc=COM.
例 5.2 shows an example configuration file that you can use to create a new 389 Directory Server instance. You can copy and use this file without changes.
Copy the following example file,
LDAP1.inf
, to your home directory:例 5.2︰ Minimal 389 Directory Server instance configuration file ## LDAP1.inf [general] config_version = 2 1 [slapd] root_password = PASSWORD2 self_sign_cert = True 3 instance_name = LDAP1 [backend-userroot] sample_entries = yes 4 suffix = dc=LDAP1,dc=COM
This line is required, indicating that this is a version 2 setup INF file.
Create a strong
root_password
for the ldap usercn=Directory Manager
. This user is for connecting (binding) to the directory.Create self-signed server certificates in
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-LDAP1
.Populate the new instance with sample user and group entries.
To create the 389 Directory Server instance from 例 5.2, run the following command:
>
sudo
dscreate -v from-file LDAP1.inf |
\tee LDAP1-OUTPUT.txt
This shows all activity during the instance creation, stores all the messages in
LDAP1-OUTPUT.txt
, and creates a working LDAP server in about a minute. The verbose output contains a lot of useful information. If you do not want to save it, then delete the| tee LDAP1-OUTPUT.txt
portion of the command.If the
dscreate
command should fail, the messages will tell you why. After correcting any issues, remove the instance (see 步骤 5) and create a new instance.A successful installation reports "
Completed installation for LDAP1
". Check the status of your new server:>
sudo
dsctl LDAP1 status
Instance "LDAP1" is runningThe following commands are for cleanly removing the instance. The first command performs a dry run and does not remove the instance. When you are sure you want to remove it, use the second command with the
--do-it
option:>
sudo
dsctl LDAP1 remove
Not removing: if you are sure, add --do-it>
sudo
dsctlLDAP1 remove --do-it
This command also removes partially installed or corrupted instances. You can reliably create and remove instances as often as you want.
If you forget the name of your instance, use dsctl
to
list all instances:
>
sudo dsctl -l
slapd-LDAP1
5.2.3 Creating a 389 Directory Server instance from a template #
You can auto-create a template for a new 389 Directory Server instance with the
dscreate
command. This creates a template that you can
use without making any changes, for testing. For production systems, review
and change it to suit your own requirements. All of the defaults are
documented in the template file, and commented out. To make changes,
uncomment the default and enter your own value. All options are well
documented.
The following example prints the template to stdout:
>
sudo dscreate create-template
This is good for a quick review of the template, but you must create a file to use in creating your new 389 Directory Server instance. You can name this file anything you want:
>
sudo dscreate create-template TEMPLATE.txt
This is a snippet from the new file:
# full_machine_name (str) # Description: Sets the fully qualified hostname (FQDN) of this system. When # installing this instance with GSSAPI authentication behind a load balancer, set # this parameter to the FQDN of the load balancer and, additionally, set # "strict_host_checking" to "false". # Default value: ldapserver1.test.net ;full_machine_name = ldapserver1.test.net # selinux (bool) # Description: Enables SELinux detection and integration during the installation # of this instance. If set to "True", dscreate auto-detects whether SELinux is # enabled. Set this parameter only to "False" in a development environment. # Default value: True ;selinux = True
It automatically configures some options from your existing environment, for
example, the system's fully-qualified domain name, which is called
full_machine_name
in the template. Use this file with no
changes to create a new instance:
>
sudo
dscreate from-file TEMPLATE.txt
This creates a new instance named localhost
, and
automatically starts it after creation:
>
sudo
dsctl localhost status
Instance "localhost" is running
The default values create a fully operational instance, but there are some values you might want to change.
The instance name cannot be changed after it has been created. It is better
to create your own instance name, rather than using the default, to avoid
confusion and to enable a better understanding of how it all works. To do
this, uncomment the ;instance_name = localhost
line and
change localhost
to your chosen name. In the following
examples, the instance name is LDAP1.
Another useful change is to populate your new instance with sample users and
groups. Uncomment ;sample_entries = no
and change
no
to yes
. This creates the
demo_user
and demo_group
.
Set your own password by uncommenting ;root_password
, and
replacing the default password with your own.
The template does not create a default suffix, so you should configure your
own on the suffix
line, like the following example:
suffix = dc=LDAP1,dc=COM
You can cleanly remove any instance and start over with
dsctl
:
>
sudo
dsctl LDAP1 remove --do-it
5.2.4 Stopping and starting 389 Directory Server #
The following examples use LDAP1
as the instance name.
Use systemd
to manage your 389 Directory Server instance. Get the status of your
instance:
>
systemctl status --no-pager --full dirsrv@LDAP1.service
● dirsrv@LDAP1.service - 389 Directory Server LDAP1. Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dirsrv@.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2021-03-11 08:55:28 PST; 2h 7min ago Process: 4451 ExecStartPre=/usr/lib/dirsrv/ds_systemd_ask_password_acl /etc/dirsrv/slapd-LDAP1/dse.ldif (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 4456 (ns-slapd) Status: "slapd started: Ready to process requests" Tasks: 26 CGroup: /system.slice/system-dirsrv.slice/dirsrv@LDAP1.service └─4456 /usr/sbin/ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-LDAP1 -i /run/dirsrv/slapd-LDAP1.pid
Start, stop, and restart your LDAP server:
>
sudo
systemctl start dirsrv@LDAP1.service
>
sudo
systemctl stop dirsrv@LDAP1.service
>
sudo
systemctl restart dirsrv@LDAP1.service
See 第 15 章 “systemd
守护程序” for more information on using
systemctl
.
The dsctl
command also starts and stops your server:
>
sudo
dsctl LDAP1 status
>
sudo
dsctl LDAP1 stop
>
sudo
dsctl LDAP1 restart
>
sudo
dsctl LDAP1 start
5.2.5 Configuring admin credentials for local administration #
For local administration of the 389 Directory Server, you can create a
.dsrc
configuration file in the
/root
directory, allowing root and sudo users to
administer the server without typing connection details with every command.
例 5.3
shows an example for local administration on the server, using
LDAP1 and com for the
suffix.
After creating your /root/.dsrc
file, try a few
administration commands, such as creating new users (see
第 5.5 节 “Managing LDAP users and groups”).
.dsrc
file for local administration ## /root/.dsrc file for administering the LDAP1 instance [LDAP1] 1 uri = ldapi://%%2fvar%%2frun%%2fslapd-LDAP1.socket 2 basedn = dc=LDAP1,dc=COM binddn = cn=Directory Manager
This must specify your exact instance name. | |
In the URI, the slashes are replaced with |
In sudo versions older than 1.9.9,
negation in sudoers.ldap does
not work for the sudoUser
,
sudoRunAsUser
, or
sudoRunAsGroup
attributes. For example:
# does not match all but joe # instead, it does not match anyone sudoUser: !joe # does not match all but joe # instead, it matches everyone including Joe sudoUser: ALL sudoUser: !joe
In sudo
version 1.9.9 and higher, negation is
enabled for the sudoUser
attribute. See
man 5 sudoers.ldap
for more information.
5.3 Firewall configuration #
The default TCP ports for 389 Directory Server are 389 and 636. TCP 389 is for unencrypted connections, and STARTTLS. 636 is for encrypted connections over TLS.
firewalld
is the default firewall manager for SUSE Linux Enterprise. The following rules
activate the ldap
and ldaps
firewall
services:
>
sudo
firewall-cmd --add-service=ldap --zone=internal
>
sudo
firewall-cmd --add-service=ldaps --zone=internal
>
sudo
firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent
Replace the zone with the appropriate zone for your server. See
第 5.8 节 “Importing TLS server certificates and keys” for information on securing
your connections with TLS, and
第 19.3 节 “防火墙基础知识” to learn about firewalld
.
5.4 Backing up and restoring 389 Directory Server #
389 Directory Server supports making offline and online backups. The
dsctl
command makes offline database backups, and the
dsconf
command makes online database backups. Back up the
LDAP server configuration directory, to enable complete restoration in case
of a major failure.
5.4.1 Backing up the LDAP server configuration #
Your LDAP server configuration is in the directory
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE_NAME
.
This directory contains certificates, keys, and the dse.ldif
file. Make a compressed backup of this directory with the
tar
command:
>
sudo
tar caf \
config_slapd-INSTANCE_NAME-$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S).tar.gz \
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE_NAME/
When running tar
, you may see the harmless informational
message tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
.
To restore a previous configuration, unpack it to the same directory:
(可选) To avoid overwriting an existing configuration, move it:
>
sudo
old /etc/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE_NAME/
Unpack the backup archive:
>
sudo
tar -xvzf
\config_slapd-INSTANCE_NAME-DATE.tar.gz
Copy it to
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE_NAME
:>
sudo
cp -r etc/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE_NAME
\/etc/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE_NAME
5.4.2 Creating an offline backup of the LDAP database and restoring from it #
The dsctl
command makes offline backups. Stop the server:
>
sudo
dsctl INSTANCE_NAME stop
Instance "INSTANCE_NAME" has been stopped
Then make the backup using your instance name. The following example creates a backup archive at /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE_NAME/bak/INSTANCE_NAME-DATE:
>
sudo
dsctl INSTANCE_NAME db2bak
db2bak successful
For example, on a test instance named ldap1 it looks like this:
/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-ldap1/bak/ldap1-2021_10_25_13_03_17
Restore from this backup, naming the directory containing the backup archive:
>
sudo
dsctl INSTANCE_NAME bak2db
\/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE_NAME/bak/INSTANCE_NAME-DATE/
bak2db successful
Then start the server:
>
sudo
dsctl INSTANCE_NAME start
Instance "INSTANCE_NAME" has been started
You can also create LDIF backups:
>
sudo
dsctl INSTANCE_NAME db2ldif --replication userRoot
ldiffile: /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE_NAME/ldif/INSTANCE_NAME-userRoot-DATE.ldif db2ldif successful
Restore an LDIF backup with the name of the archive, then start the server:
>
sudo
dsctl ldif2db userRoot
\/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE_NAME/ldif/INSTANCE_NAME-userRoot-DATE.ldif
>
sudo
dsctl INSTANCE_NAME start
5.4.3 Creating an online backup of the LDAP database and restoring from it #
Use the dsconf
to make an online backup of your LDAP
database:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME backup create
The backup create task has finished successfully
This creates
/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE_NAME/bak/INSTANCE_NAME-DATE
.
Restore it:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME backup restore
\/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE_NAME/bak/INSTANCE_NAME-DATE
5.5 Managing LDAP users and groups #
Use the dsidm
command to create, remove, and manage
users and groups.
5.5.1 Querying existing LDAP users and groups #
The following examples show how to list your existing users and groups. The examples use the instance name LDAP1. Replace this with your instance name:
>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 user list
>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 group list
List all information on a single user:
>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 user get USER
List all information on a single group:
>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 group get GROUP
List members of a group:
>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 group members GROUP
5.5.2 Creating users and managing passwords #
In the following example we create one user, wilber
. The
example server instance is named LDAP1, and the
instance's suffix is dc=LDAP1,dc=COM.
The following example creates the user Wilber Fox on your 389 DS instance:
>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 user create --uid wilber \
--cn wilber --displayName 'Wilber Fox' --uidNumber 1001 --gidNumber 101 \
--homeDirectory /home/wilber
Verify by looking up your new user's
distinguished name
(fully qualified name to the directory object, which is guaranteed unique):>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 user get wilber
dn: uid=wilber,ou=people,dc=LDAP1,dc=COM [...]You need the distinguished name for actions such as changing the password for a user.
Create a password for new user
wilber
:>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 account reset_password \
uid=wilber,ou=people,dc=LDAP1,dc=COM
Enter the new password for
wilber
twice.If the action was successful, you get the following message:
reset password for uid=wilber,ou=people,dc=LDAP1,dc=COM
Use the same command to change an existing password.
Verify that the user's password works:
>
ldapwhoami -D uid=wilber,ou=people,dc=LDAP1,dc=COM -W
Enter LDAP Password: PASSWORD dn: uid=wilber,ou=people,dc=LDAP1,dc=COM
5.5.3 Creating and managing groups #
After creating users, you can create groups, and then assign
users to them. In the following examples, we create a group,
server_admins, and assign the user
wilber
to this group. The example server instance is named
LDAP1, and the instance's suffix is
dc=LDAP1,dc=COM.
Create the group:
>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 group create
You will be prompted for a group name. Enter your chosen group name, which in the following example is SERVER_ADMINS:
Enter value for cn : SERVER_ADMINS
Add the user
wilber
(created in 过程 5.1 “Creating LDAP users”) to the group:>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 group add_member SERVER_ADMINS
\uid=wilber,ou=people,dc=LDAP1,dc=COM
added member: uid=wilber,ou=people,dc=LDAP1,dc=COM
5.5.4 Deleting users, groups, and removing users from groups #
Use the dsidm
command to delete users, remove users
from groups, and delete groups. The following example removes our
example user wilber from the server_admins group:
>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 group remove_member SERVER_ADMINS
\uid=wilber,ou=people,dc=LDAP1,dc=COM
Delete a user:
>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 user delete
\uid=wilber,ou=people,dc=LDAP1,dc=COM
Delete a group:
>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 group delete SERVER_ADMINS
5.6 Using SSSD to manage LDAP authentication #
The System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) manages authentication, identification, and access controls for remote users. This section describes how to use SSSD to manage authentication and identification for your 389 Directory Server.
SSSD mediates between your LDAP server and clients. It supports several provider back-ends, such as LDAP, Active Directory, and Kerberos. SSSD supports services, including SSH, PAM, NSS, and sudo. SSSD provides performance benefits and resilience through caching user IDs and credentials. Caching reduces the number of requests to your 389 DS server, and provides authentication and identity services when the back-ends are unavailable.
If the Name Services Caching Daemon (nscd) is running on your network, you should disable or remove it. nscd caches only the common name service requests, such as passwd, group, hosts, service, and netgroup, and will conflict with SSSD.
Your LDAP server is the provider, and your SSSD instance is the client of the provider. You may install SSSD on your 389 DS server, but installing it on a separate machine provides some resilience in case the 389 DS server becomes unavailable. Use the following procedure to install and configure an SSSD client. The example 389 DS instance name is LDAP1:
Install the
sssd
andsssd-ldap
packages:>
sudo
zypper in sssd sssd-ldap
Back up the
/etc/sssd/sssd.conf
file, if it exists:>
sudo
old /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
Create your new SSSD configuration template. The allowed output file names are
sssd.conf
andldap.conf
.display
sends the output to stdout. The following example creates a client configuration in/etc/sssd/sssd.conf
:>
sudo
cd /etc/sssd
>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 client_config sssd.conf
Review the output and make any necessary changes to suit your environment. The following
/etc/sssd/sssd.conf
file demonstrates a working example:[sssd] services = nss, pam, ssh, sudo config_file_version = 2 domains = default [nss] homedir_substring = /home [domain/default] # If you have large groups (for example, 50+ members), # you should set this to True ignore_group_members = False debug_level=3 cache_credentials = True id_provider = ldap auth_provider = ldap access_provider = ldap chpass_provider = ldap ldap_schema = rfc2307bis ldap_search_base = dc=example,dc=com # We strongly recommend ldaps ldap_uri = ldaps://ldap.example.com ldap_tls_reqcert = demand ldap_tls_cacert = /etc/openldap/ldap.crt ldap_access_filter = (|(memberof=cn=<login group>,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com)) enumerate = false access_provider = ldap ldap_user_member_of = memberof ldap_user_gecos = cn ldap_user_uuid = nsUniqueId ldap_group_uuid = nsUniqueId ldap_account_expire_policy = rhds ldap_access_order = filter, expire # add these lines to /etc/ssh/sshd_config # AuthorizedKeysCommand /usr/bin/sss_ssh_authorizedkeys # AuthorizedKeysCommandUser nobody ldap_user_ssh_public_key = nsSshPublicKey
Set file ownership to root, and restrict read-write permissions to root:
>
sudo
chown root:root /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
>
sudo
chmod 600 /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
Edit the
/etc/nsswitch.conf
configuration file on the SSSD server to include the following lines:passwd: compat sss group: compat sss shadow: compat sss
Edit the PAM configuration on the SSSD server, modifying
common-account-pc
,common-auth-pc
,common-password-pc
, andcommon-session-pc
. SUSE Linux Enterprise provides a command to modify all of these files at once,pam-config
:>
sudo
pam-config -a --sss
Verify the modified configuration:
>
sudo
pam-config -q --sss
auth: account: password: session:Copy
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-LDAP1/ca.crt
from the 389 DS server to/etc/openldap/certs
on your SSSD server, then rehash it:>
sudo
c_rehash /etc/openldap/certs
Enable and start SSSD:
>
sudo
systemctl enable --now sssd
See 第 4 章 “使用 YaST 设置身份验证客户端” for information on managing the sssd.service with systemctl.
5.6.1 Unsupported password hashes and authentication schemes #
The following are not supported as configuration values in dse.ldif
for
the settings nsslapd-rootpwstoragescheme
or
passwordStorageScheme
, or as a value of
passwordStorageScheme
in the account policy objects:
SHA
SSHA
SHA256
SSHA256
SHA384
SSHA384
SHA512
SSHA512
NS-MTA-MD5
clear
MD5
SMD5
Database imports that contain these values are supported if
nsslapd-enable-upgrade-hash
is set to on
(defaults to on
).
5.7 Managing modules #
Use the following command to list all available modules, enabled and disabled. Use your server's hostname rather than the instance name of your 389 Directory Server, like the following example hostname of LDAPSERVER1:
>
sudo
dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://LDAPSERVER1 plugin list
Enter password for cn=Directory Manager on ldap://LDAPSERVER1: PASSWORD 7-bit check Account Policy Plugin Account Usability Plugin ACL Plugin ACL preoperation [...]
The following command enables the MemberOf plugin referenced in 第 5.6 节 “Using SSSD to manage LDAP authentication”. MemberOf simplifies user searches, by returning the user and any groups the user belongs to, with a single command. Without MemberOf, a client must run multiple lookups to find a user's group memberships.
>
sudo
dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://LDAPSERVER1 plugin memberof enable
Note that the plugin names used in commands are lowercase, so they are different from how they appear when you list them. If you make a mistake with a plugin name, you will see a helpful error message:
dsconf instance plugin: error: invalid choice: 'MemberOf' (choose from 'memberof', 'automember', 'referential-integrity', 'root-dn', 'usn', 'account-policy', 'attr-uniq', 'dna', 'linked-attr', 'managed-entries', 'pass-through-auth', 'retro-changelog', 'posix-winsync', 'contentsync', 'list', 'show', 'set')
After enabling a plugin, it is necessary to restart the server:
>
sudo
systemctl restart dirsrv@LDAPSERVER1.service
Next, configure the plugin. The following example enables MemberOf to search all entries. Use your instance name rather than the server's hostname:
>
sudo
dsconf LDAP1 plugin memberOf set --scope dc=example,dc=com
Successfully changed the cn=MemberOf Plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config
After the MemberOf plugin is enabled and configured, all new groups and users are automatically MemberOf targets. However, any users and groups that exist before it is enabled are not. They must be marked manually:
>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 user modify suzanne add:objectclass:nsmemberof
Successfully modified uid=suzanne,ou=people,dc=ldap1,dc=com
Now suzanne information and group membership are listed with a single command:
>
sudo
dsidm LDAP1 user get suzanne
dn: uid=suzanne,ou=people,dc=ldap1,dc=com cn: suzanne displayName: Suzanne Geeko gidNumber: 102 homeDirectory: /home/suzanne memberOf: cn=SERVER_ADMINS,ou=groups,dc=ldap1,dc=com
Modifying a larger number of users is a lot of work. The following example shows how to make all legacy users MemberOf targets with one fixup command:

5.7.1 Unsupported plug-ins on 389 Directory Server #
The following plug-ins are not supported on 389 Directory Server:
Distributed Numeric Assignment (DNA) plug-in
Managed Entries Plug-in (MEP)
Posix Winsync plug-in
5.8 Importing TLS server certificates and keys #
You can manage your CA certificates and keys for 389 Directory Server with the following
command line tools: certutil
, openssl
, and
pk12util
.
For testing purposes, you can use the self-signed certificate that
dscreate
creates when you create a new 389 DS
instance. Find the certificate at
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE-NAME/ca.crt
.
For production environments, it is a best practice to use a third-party certificate authority, such as Let's Encrypt, CAcert.org, SSL.com, or whatever CA you choose. Request a server certificate, a client certificate, and a root certificate.
The Mozilla NSS (Network Security Services ) toolkit uses nicknames for certificates in the certificate store. The server certificate uses the nickname Server-Cert.
Use the following commands to remove the Self-Signed-CA and Server-Cert from the instance:
>
sudo
dsctl INSTANCE_NAME tls remove-cert Self-Signed-CA
>
sudo
dsctl INSTANCE_NAME tls remove-cert Server-Cert
Replace INSTANCE_NAME with the instance name of the directory server. This is LDAP1 in the previous sections.
Import the CA that has signed your certificate.
>
sudo
sudo dsctl INSTANCE_NAME tls import-ca /path/to/CA/in/PEM/format/CA.pem NICKNAME_FOR_CA
Replace
INSTANCE_NAME
with the instance name of the directory server. Replace/path/to/CA/in/PEM/format/CA.pem
with the full path to the CA certificate file in the PEM format. ReplaceNICKNAME_FOR_CA
with a nickname for the CA.Import the server certificate and the key for the certificate.
>
sudo
dsctl INSTANCE_NAME tls import-server-key-cert /path/to/SERVER.pem /path/to/SERVER.key
Replace
INSTANCE_NAME
with the instance name of the directory server. Replace/path/to/SERVER.pem
with the full path to the server certificate in PEM format. Replace/path/to/SERVER.key
with the full path to the server certificate key file in the PEM format.Restart the instance so that the new certificates are used.
>
sudo
systemctl restart dirsrv@INSTANCE-NAME..service
Replace
INSTANCE_NAME
with the instance name of the directory server.
5.9 Setting up replication #
389 Directory Server supports replicating its database content between multiple servers. According to the type of replication, this provides:
Faster performance and response times
Fault tolerance and failover
Load balancing
High availability
A database is the smallest unit of a directory that can be replicated. You can replicate an entire database, but not a subtree within a database. One database must correspond to one suffix. You cannot replicate a suffix that is distributed over two or more databases.
A replica that sends data to another replica is a supplier. A replica that receives data from a supplier is a consumer. Replication is always initiated by the supplier, and a single supplier can send data to multiple consumers. Usually the supplier is a read-write replica, and the consumer is read-only, except in the case of multi-supplier replication. In multi-supplier replication the suppliers are both suppliers and consumers of the same data.
5.9.1 Asynchronous writes #
389 DS manages replication differently than other databases. Replication is asynchronous, and eventually consistent. This means:
Any write or change to a single server is immediately accepted.
There is a delay between a write finishing on one server, and then replicating and being visible on other servers.
If that write conflicts with writes on other servers, it may be rolled back at some point in the future.
Not all servers may show identical content at the same time due to replication delay.
In general, as LDAP is "low-write", these factors mean that all servers are at least up to a common baseline of a known consistent state. Small changes occur on top of this baseline, so many of these aspects of delayed replication are not perceived in day to day usage.
5.9.2 Designing your topology #
Consider the following factors when you are designing your replication topology.
The need for replication: high availability, geo-location, read scaling, or a combination of all.
How many replicas (nodes, servers) you plan to have in your topology.
Direction of data flows, both inside of the topology, and data flowing into the topology.
How clients will balance across nodes of the topology for their requests (multiple ldap URIs, SRV records, load balancers).
These factors all affect how you may create your topology. (See 第 5.9.3 节 “Example replication topologies” for some topology examples.)
5.9.3 Example replication topologies #
The following sections provide examples of replication topologies, using two to six 389 Directory Server nodes. The maximum number of supported supplier replicas in a topology is twenty. Operational experience shows the optimal number for replication efficiency is a maximum of eight.
5.9.3.1 Two replicas #
┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ S1 │◀─────▶│ S2 │ └────┘ └────┘
In 例 5.4 “Two supplier replicas” there are two replicas, S1 and S2, which replicate bi-directionally between each other, so they are both suppliers and consumers. S1 and S2 could be in separate data centers, or in the same data center. Clients can balance across the servers using LDAP URIs, a load balancer, or DNS SRV records. This is the simplest topology for high availability. Note that each server needs to be able to provide 100% of client load, in case the other server is offline for any reason. A two-node replication is generally not adequate for horizontal read scaling, as a single node will handle all read requests if the other node is offline.
The two-node topology should be considered the default topology, because it is the simplest to manage. You can expand your toplogy, over time, as necessary.
5.9.3.2 Four supplier replicas #
┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ S1 │◀─────▶│ S2 │ └────┘ └────┘ ▲ ▲ │ │ ▼ ▼ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ S3 │◀─────▶│ S4 │ └────┘ └────┘
例 5.5 “Four supplier replicas” has four supplier replicas, which all synchronize to each other. These could be in four datacenters, or two servers per datacenter. In the case of one node per data center, each node should be able to support 100% of client load. When there are two per datacenter, each one only needs to scale to 50% of the client load.
5.9.3.3 Six replicas #
┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ S1 │◀─────▶│ S2 │ └────┘ └────┘ ▲ ▲ │ │ ┌────────────┬────┴────────────┴─────┬────────────┐ │ │ │ │ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ S3 │◀─────▶│ S4 │ │ S5 │◀─────▶│ S6 │ └────┘ └────┘ └────┘ └────┘
In 例 5.6 “Six replicas”, each pair is in a separate location. S1 and S2 are the suppliers, and S3, S4, S5, and S6 are consumers of S1 and S2. Each pair of servers replicate to each other. S3, S4, S5, and S6 can accept writes, though most of the replication is done through S1 and S2. This setup provides geographic separation for high availability and scaling.
5.9.3.4 Six replicas with read-only consumers #
┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ S1 │◀─────▶│ S2 │ └────┘ └────┘ │ │ │ │ ┌────────────┼────────────┼────────────┐ │ │ │ │ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ S3 │ │ S4 │ │ S5 │ │ S6 │ └────┘ └────┘ └────┘ └────┘
In 例 5.7 “Six replicas with read-only consumers”, S1 and S2 are the suppliers, and the other four servers are read-only consumers. All changes occur on S1 and S2, and are propagated to the four replicas. Read-only consumers can be configured to store only a subset of the database, or partial entries, to limit data exposure. You could have a fractional read-only server in a DMZ, for example, so that if data is exposed, changes can not propagate back to the other replicas.
5.9.4 Terminology #
In the example topologies we have seen that 389 DS can take on a number of roles in a topology. The following list clarifies the terminology.
- Replica
An instance of 389 DS with an attached database.
- Read-write replica
A replica with a full copy of a database, that accepts read and write operations.
- Read-only replica
A replica with a full copy of a database, that only accepts read operations.
- Fractional read-only replica
A replica with a partial copy of a database, that only accepts read- only operations.
- Supplier
A replica that supplies data from its database to another replica.
- Consumer
A replica that receives data from another replica to write into its database.
- Replication agreement
The configuration of a server defining its supplier and consumer relation to another replica.
- Topology
A set of replicas connected via replication agreements.
- Replica ID
A unique identifier of the 389 Directory Server instance within the replication topology.
- Replication manager
An account with replication rights in the directory.
5.9.5 Configuring replication #
The first example sets up a two node bi-directional replication with a single read-only server, as a minimal starting example. In the following examples, the host names of the two read-write nodes are RW1 and RW2, and the read-only server is RO1. (Of course you must use your own host names.)
All servers should have a backend with an identical suffix. Only one server, RW1, needs an initial copy of the database.
5.9.5.1 Configuring two-node replication #
The following commands configure the read-write replicas in a two-node setup (例 5.4 “Two supplier replicas”), with the hostnames RW1 and RW2. (Remember to use your own hostnames.)
The replication manager should be considered equivalent to the directory manager, in terms of security and access, and should have a very strong password.
If you create different replication manager passwords for each server, be sure to keep track of which password belongs to which server. For example, when you configure the outbound connection in RW1's replication agreement, you need to set the replication manager password to the RW2 replication manager password.
First, configure RW1:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME replication create-manager
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME replication enable
\--suffix dc=example,dc=com
\--role supplier --replica-id 1 --bind-dn "cn=replication manager,cn=config"
Configure RW2:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME replication create-manager
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME replication enable
\--suffix dc=example,dc=com
\--role supplier --replica-id 2 --bind-dn "cn=replication manager,cn=config"
This will create the replication metadata required on RW1 and RW2. Note the
difference in the replica-id
between the two servers. This
also creates the replication manager account, which is an account with
replication rights for authenticating between the two nodes.
RW1 and RW2 are now both configured to have replication metadata. The next step is to create the first agreement for outbound data from RW1 to RW2.
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME repl-agmt create
\--suffix dc=example,dc=com
\--host=RW2 --port=636 --conn-protocol LDAPS --bind-dn "cn=replication manager,cn=config"
\--bind-passwd PASSWORD --bind-method SIMPLE RW1_to_RW2
Data will not flow from RW1 to RW2 until after a full synchronization of the database, which is called an initialization or reinit. This will reset all database content on RW2 to match the content of RW1. Run the following command to trigger a reinit of the data:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME repl-agmt init
\--suffix dc=example,dc=com RW1_to_RW2
Check the status by running this command on RW1:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME repl-agmt init-status
\--suffix dc=example,dc=com RW1_to_RW2
When it is finished, you should see a "Agreement successfully initialized" message. If you get an error message, check the errors log. Otherwise, you should see the identical content from RW1 on RW2.
Finally, to make this bi-directional, configure a replication agreement from RW2 outbound to RW1:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME repl-agmt create
\--suffix dc=example,dc=com
\--host=RW1 --port=636 --conn-protocol LDAPS
\--bind-dn "cn=replication manager,cn=config" --bind-passwd PASSWORD
\--bind-method SIMPLE RW2_to_RW1
Changes made on either RW1 or RW2 will now be replicated to the other. Check replication status on either server with the following command:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME repl-agmt status
\--suffix dc=example,dc=com
\--bind-dn "cn=replication manager,cn=config"
\--bind-passwd PASSWORD RW2_to_RW1
5.9.5.2 Configuring a read-only node #
To create a read-only node, start by creating the replication manager account and metadata. The hostname of the example server is RO3:
The replication manager should be considered equivalent to the directory manager, in terms of security and access, and should have a very strong password.
If you create different replication manager passwords for each server, be sure to keep track of which password belongs to which server. For example, when you configure the outbound connection in RW1's replication agreement, you need to set the replication manager password to the RW2 replication manager password.
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME replication create-manager
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME
\replication enable --suffix dc=EXAMPLE,dc=COM
\--role consumer --bind-dn "cn=replication manager,cn=config"
Note that for a read-only replica you do not provide a replica-id, and the
role is set to consumer
. This allocates a
special read-only replica-id for all read-only replicas. After the read-only
replica is created, add the replication agreements from RW1 and RW2
to the read-only instance. The following example is on RW1:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME
\repl-agmt create --suffix dc=EXAMPLE,dc=COM
\--host=RO3 --port=636 --conn-protocol LDAPS
\--bind-dn "cn=replication manager,cn=config" --bind-passwd PASSWORD
--bind-method SIMPLE RW1_to_RO3
The following example, on RW2, configures the replication agreement between RW2 and RO3:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME repl-agmt create
\--suffix dc=EXAMPLE,dc=COM
\--host=RO3 --port=636 --conn-protocol LDAPS
\--bind-dn "cn=replication manager,cn=config" --bind-passwd PASSWORD
\--bind-method SIMPLE RW2_to_RO3
After these steps are completed, you can use either RW1 or RW2 to perform the initialization of the database on RO3. The following example initalizes RO3 from RW2:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME repl-agmt init
--suffix dc=EXAMPLE,dc=COM RW2_to_RO3
5.9.6 Monitoring and healthcheck #
The dsconf
command includes a monitoring option. You can check the status of each
replica status directly on the replicas, or from other hosts. The following example commands are run on RW1,
checking the status on two remote replicas, and then on itself:
>
sudo
dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://RW2 replication monitor
>
sudo
dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://RO3 replication monitor
>
sudo
dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://RW1 replication monitor
The dsctl
command has a healthcheck
option. The following
example runs a replication healthcheck on the local 389 DS instance:
>
sudo
dsctl INSTANCE_NAME healthcheck --check replication
Use the -v
option for verbosity, to see what the healthcheck examines:
>
sudo
dsctl -v INSTANCE_NAME healthcheck --check replication
Run dsctl INSTANCE_NAME healthcheck
with no options for a general health check.
Run the following command to see a list of the checks that healthcheck performs:
>
sudo
dsctl INSTANCE_NAME healthcheck --list-checks
config:hr_timestamp config:passwordscheme backends:userroot:cl_trimming backends:userroot:mappingtree backends:userroot:search backends:userroot:virt_attrs encryption:check_tls_version fschecks:file_perms [...]
You can run one or more of the individual checks:
>
sudo
dsctl INSTANCE_NAME healthcheck
\--check monitor-disk-space:disk_space tls:certificate_expiration
5.9.7 Making backups #
When replication is
enabled you need to adjust your 389 Directory Server backup strategy
(see 第 5.4 节 “Backing up and restoring 389 Directory Server” to learn about
making backups). If you are using
db2ldif
you must add the --replication
flag
to ensure that replication
metadata is backed up. You should backup all servers in the topology. When
restoring from backup, start by restoring a single node of the topology, then
reinitialize all other nodes as new instances.
5.9.8 Pausing and resuming replication #
You can pause replication during maintenance windows, or anytime you need to stop it. A node of the topology can only be offline for a maximum of days up to the limit of the changelog (see 第 5.9.9 节 “ Changelog max-age”).
Use the repl-agmt
command to pause replication. The
following example is on RW2:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME repl-agmt disable
\--suffix dc=EXAMPLE,dc=COM RW2_to_RW1
The following example re-enables replication:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME repl-agmt enable
\--suffix dc=EXAMPLE,dc=COM RW2_to_RW1
5.9.9 Changelog max-age #
A replica can be offline for up to the length of time defined by
the changelog max-age
option. max-age
defines the maximum age of any entry in the changelog. Any items older
than the max-age
value are automatically removed.
After the replica comes back online it will synchronize with the other
replicas. If it is offline for longer than the max-age
value,
the replica will need to be re-initialised, and will refuse to accept or
provide changes to other nodes, as they may be inconsistent. The following
example sets the max-age
to seven days:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME
\replication set-changelog --max-age 7d
\--suffix dc=EXAMPLE,dc=COM
5.9.10 Removing a replica #
To remove a replica, first fence the node to prevent any incoming changes or reads. Then, find all servers that have incoming replication agreements with the node you are removing, and remove them. The following example removes RW2. Start by disabling the outbound replication agreement on RW1:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME repl-agmt delete
\--suffix dc=EXAMPLE,dc=COM RW1_to_RW2
On the replica you are removing, which in the following example is RW2, remove all outbound agreements:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME repl-agmt delete
\--suffix dc=EXAMPLE,dc=COM RW2_to_RW1
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME repl-agmt delete
\--suffix dc=EXAMPLE,dc=COM RW2_to_RO3
Stop the instance on RW2:
>
sudo
systemctl stop dirsrv@INSTANCE_NAME.service
Then run the cleanallruv
command to remove the replica ID from the topology.
The following example is run on RW1:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME repl-tasks cleanallruv
\--suffix dc=EXAMPLE,dc=COM --replica-id 2
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE_NAME repl-tasks list-cleanruv-tasks
5.9.11 Limitations on replication of 389 Directory Server #
The use of 389 Directory Server is supported within the following replication limits:
A maximum of 8 read-write nodes
A maximum of 20 replication hubs
A maximum of 100 read-only servers
A maximum of 1 Winsync Active Directory consumer as a read-write node member
5.10 Synchronizing with Microsoft Active Directory #
389 Directory Server supports synchronizing some user and group content from Microsoft's Active Directory, so that Linux clients can use 389 DS for their identity information without the normally required domain join process. This also allows 389 DS to extend and use its other features with the data synchronised from Active Directory.
5.10.1 Planning your synchronization topology #
Due to how the synchronization works, only a single 389 Directory Server server and Active Directory server are involved. The Active Directory server must be a full Domain Controller, and not a Read Only Domain Controller (RODC). The Global Catalog is not required on the DC that is synchronized, as 389 DS only replicates the content of a single forest in a domain.
You must first chooose the direction of your data flow. There are three options: from AD to 389 DS, from 389 DS to AD, or bi- directional.
Passwords cannot be synchronised between 389 DS and Active Directory. This may change in the future, to support Active Directory to 389 DS password flow.
Your topology will look like the following diagram. The 389 Directory Server and Active Directory topologies may differ, but the most important factor is to have only a single connection between 389 DS and Active Directory. It is very important to account for this in your disaster recovery and backup plans for both 389 DS and AD, to ensure that you correctly restore only a single replication connection between these topologies.
┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ 389-ds │◀───▶│ 389-ds │◀ ─ ─ ─ ▶│ AD │◀───▶│ AD │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ │ │ │ │ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ 389-ds │◀───▶│ 389-ds │ │ AD │◀───▶│ AD │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘
5.10.2 Prerequisites for Active Directory #
A security group that is granted the "Replicating Directory Changes" permission is required. For example, you have created a group named "Directory Server Sync". Follow the steps in the "How to grant the 'Replicating Directory Changes' permission for the Microsoft Metadirectory Services ADMA service account" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/windows-security/grant-replicating-directory-changes-permission-adma-service to set this up.
You should consider members of this group to be of equivalent security importance to Domain Administrators. Members of this group have the ability to read sensitive content from the Active Directory environment, so you should use strong, randomly-generated service account passwords for these accounts, and carefully audit membership to this group.
You should also create a service account that is a member of this group.
Your Active Directory environment must have certificates configured for LDAPS to ensure that authentication between 389 DS and AD is secure. Authentication with Generic Security Services API/Kerberos (GSSAPI/KRB) cannot be used.
5.10.3 Prerequisites for 389 Directory Server #
The 389 Directory Server server must have a backend database already configured with Organization Units (OUs) for entries to be synchronised into.
The 389 Directory Server server must have a replica ID configured as though the server is a read-write replica. (For details about setting up replication see 第 5.9 节 “Setting up replication”).
5.10.4 Creating an agreement from Active Directory to 389 Directory Server #
The following example command, which is run on the 389 Directory Server server, creates a replication agreement from Active Directory to 389 Directory Server:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME repl-winsync-agmt create --suffix dc=example,dc=com
\--host AD-HOSTNAME --port 636 --conn-protocol LDAPS
\ --bind-dn"cn=SERVICE-ACCOUNT,cn=USERS,dc=AD,dc=EXAMPLE,dc=COM"
\--bind-passwd "PASSWORD" --win-subtree "cn=USERS,dc=AD,dc=EXAMPLE,dc=COM"
\--ds-subtree ou=AD,dc=EXAMPLE,dc=COM --one-way-sync fromWindows
\--sync-users=on --sync-groups=on --move-action delete
\--win-domain AD-DOMAIN adsync_agreement
Once the agreement has been created, you must perform an initial resynchronization:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME repl-winsync-agmt init --suffix dc=example,dc=com adsync_agreement
Use the following command to check the status of the initialization:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME repl-winsync-agmt init-status --suffix dc=example,dc=com adsync_agreement
In some cases, an entry may not be synchronized, even if the init status reports success. Check your 389 DS log files in
/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE-NAME/errors
.
Check the status of the agreement with the following command:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME repl-winsync-agmt status --suffix dc=example,dc=com adsync_agreement
Whe you are performing maintenance on the Active Directory or 389 Directory Server topology, you can pause the agreement with the following command:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME repl-winsync-agmt disable --suffix dc=example,dc=com adsync_agreement
Resume the agreement with the following command:
>
sudo
dsconf INSTANCE-NAME repl-winsync-agmt enable --suffix dc=example,dc=com adsync_agreement
