LDAP authentication

Hi,

I’m trying to get some form of LDAP authentication to work. Looked at the various
submitted scripts, etc…

I’m still failing to understand (or find any mention of) how true LDAP authentication
should work? IE Username / Password pair verification. It’s obviously possible, as
many Apache modules do it for you. But how is it actually done - and can it be
done through a Perl script?

Ideas anybody?

Thanks
Yan

I am trying the same my self, for time being…I have decided to use
Apache-LDAP or Apache-NIS authentication for the users to get to RT webpage,
there they can get into RT without any passwd or their login as the passwd.

But this is temporary though, I am trying to see how to use LDAP
authentication for RT.

The easiest way is to implement ldap authentication on the web server side and
set $WebExternalAuth to a defined value. Since I answered this question a few
times the last week, I think I am going to write a FAQ.

But, to answer Your question, you could write a perl script using the
Perl::LDAP module and try to shove it into RT itself (or run it as an
extension of the web server via mod_perl - but then You can use mod_auth_ldap
as well), but I think that would be overkill.

Well - thanks, but I think by original question was not quite reflecting what I
meant. I understand (hav have read previous posts) the principles about using
Net::LDAP, or the various mod_ldap modules for Apache. What I didn’t
understand was the low-level mechanics about how to authenticate a user against
the LDAP server.

Basically, do you do a LDAP compare operation against some attributes, or do
you just retrieve them, and do the compare yourself? As well, I wasn’t clear
which attributes to use? Finally, when you get to a password field, how does
the encryption works? Does LDAP use the standard unix crypt() function, or does
LDAP specify its own algorythm (and how do you invoke that)?

I think I’ve got now partial answers - let me know if this is correct:

  • The attributes one uses depend on the implementation / setup of each LDAP
    server. The common attribues are uid or cn for the username, and userPassword
    for the password. (I’m using Novell’s NDS) My problem there was that my version
    of Novell / LDAP doesn’t have any password-type field… :frowning:
  • There is no LDAP - defined “authenticate object” type function, you closest to it
    would be a compare.

I’m still not sure about the crypt() issues. I’ve a funny feeling that’s again
implementation-specific. I still don’t see how you’d do it via Net::LDAP, other than
using the standard crypt function.

Still searching…
Thanks

The important one is the uid, which has to exist for each entry and has to be
unique ove the set of all entries in a container hierarchy (hence it is the
unique identifier).

We have the same setup (nds below ldap)here in our company. the easiest way is
trying to bind against the ldap directory using a username/password
combination. If that works, the password has to be correct. If not, the
password was incorrect. So You don’t need to show the password via the ldap
directory - it’s automatically tested against the password hidden in the nds
layer.

  • There is no LDAP - defined “authenticate object” type function, you closest to it

The closest is the bind. Please regard that this data is sent in cleartext, so
unless You setup an SSL encrypted stream, be sure to only do this in an

I think this is starting to drift outside the scope of rt-users. Being that
each implementation of LDAP is vendor specific, a discussion about Novell’s
implementation choices only applies to a small percentage of RT sites. I
see Novel maintains a lot of doco:
http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/authserv/index.html . Besides, isn’t
the advantage of paying for a product such as NDS-AS that you get
professional support?

Just my opinion…

Does anyone have any words of wisdom for using LDAP to authenticate for
RT? We use LDAP for our intranet authentication, and I’d like to avoid
having to create an RT user for everybody we have in LDAP and having the
ensuing password synchronization problems. Is it as easy as compiling
auth_ldap into Apache?

Basically, yes. There is $WebExternalAuth in config.pm; using auth_ldap
works swell here. Only gripe: Users created on email ticket submission have
username==email_adress, and I would like to have them only their uid (which,
fortunately, is their email address without @…).

If any questions arise, fell free to contact me.

Not quite, although we do use auth_ldap here for keeping some other stuff
under wraps.

As for LDAP-izing RT, you can find some good examples to mimic in the
contrib area of Jesse’s site:

http://www.fsck.com/pub/rt/contrib/2.0/

Also, here is a message I sent to the list in May detailing how I LDAP-ized
our copy of RT:

http://lists.fsck.com/pipermail/rt-users/2002-May/008527.html

Both of these will end up advising that you install the Net::LDAP module
family.

You shouldn’t need the

LDAP integration

<Directory /opt/rt3/share/html>
AuthType Basic
AuthName “Request Tracker Login”
AuthLDAPURL ldap://ipadress
require valid-user

part in your httpd.conf since your telling RT to use LDAP and not Apache.

I assume you’ve also modified "$LdapServer and $LdapBase in RT_Siteconfig.pm to reflect your environment.

You don’t need both of these. $WebExternalAuth tells RT to trust the
user information passed by the webserver while $LDAPExternalAuth says
use the RT internal LDAP support you have added. Since you have added
all the LDAP stuff disable the first one, $WebExternalAuth, and just run
with the second.


Next I put in httpd.conf :

You also don’t need this. You have added perl code into RT itself to do
the LDAP work. You don’t want the webserver doing it as well.

Hi All,

I’m using RT 3.2.1 and I’m trying to get the LDAP auth going using the
User_Local.pm file posted previously.

The problem is that it doesn’t look like LDAP is seeing the
User_Local.pm file, nor does it seem to want to print out debug
statements into the log for me.

Is there any file permission special-ness that needs to occur ?

Cheers
Dave

Hi,

Is it possible to authenticate via LDAP to RT ?

In particular, Mac OS X’s implementation of LDAP (Open DIrectory)

Thanks.
