Re: OpenLDAP and MySQL

Thanks for the reply;

I followed the info in that file, and when I get to the tests:

SLAPD_USE_SQL=mysql ./run test031
Running ./scripts/test031-component-filter...
running defines.sh
dynamic module disabled, test skipped

And this is all the output I get.

also, I had to change the examples /etc/odbc.ini to being what's below, otherwise OpenLDAP wouldnt execute.
[ODBC Data Sources]
test = MySQL ODBC 2.50 Driver DSN

[ldap]
Driver = /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc.so
Description = MySQL ODBC 2.50 Driver DSN
Server = localhost
PORT = 3306
SOCKET = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
User = root
Password = >snip<
Database = ldap
ReadOnly = No
RowVersioning = No
ShowSystemTables = No
ShowOidColumn = No
FakeOidIndex = No
Trace = No
TraceFile = /var/log/mysql_test_trace.log

[MySQL]
Description = ODBC for MySQL
Driver = /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc.so
FileUsage = 1

I'm still with a non working OpenLDAP server, and the only login is anonymous. Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Hello all,

I've been researching and attempting to get OpenLDAP and MySQL to play
nice together now for a little over a week. Unfortunately, I cannot get
them to do so (I've even threatened time out, but alas, they still
misbehave).

I've been following the HowTo here:
http://www.flatmtn.com/computer/Linux-LDAP.html only to find it lacking
major detail and non working config scripts. I've since started 'on my
own' and now slapd starts without any errors now. The problems are:

1. Short of no errors, I cant get any data INTO or OUT OF the LDAP server
2. As such, no user info can be authenticated
3. GUI's (yup, I've even tried them) such as phpLDAP have vague errors
such as:
    Could not bind to the LDAP server.

    LDAP said: Undefined attribute type
    Error number: 0x11 (LDAP_UNDEFINED_TYPE)
    Description: The attribute type specified is invalid.

My end goal for the first step is to have LDAP use MySQL as the DB, and
to authenticate SAMBA clients this way. The DB is necessary because I
already have a big database of user accounts/passwords for
IMAP/POP/SASL/Postfix that would be way too much of a pain to migrate
the accounts, then how they would be stored on the file system (phase
two is to have that username/password base authenticate the SAMBA
clients). Would anyone mind pointing me in the right direction with
getting LDAP-MySQL to work?

System: Slackware 10.0
OpenLDAP: 2.3.22
Samba: 3.0.22
MySQL: 4.0.24
MyODBC: 2.50.39   (3.51.12 compiled with way to many warnings and exited
on a few vague errors)
libiodbc: 3.52.4

Did you try the built-in tests and instructions?  They're a bit out of
date, but they're __way__ more recent than the ones you followed.

Look into "servers/slapd/back-sql/rdbms_depend/README" for a brief
description of what you're supposed to do.  Make sure you read the FAQ:
<http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/978.html>.  As a general rule, I
suggest using unofficial sources only when the official ones are missing
or incomplete.  If you set up the system (RDBMS and ODBC) appropriately,
you can also run a built-in test suite: "cd tests && make sql".  You need
to define some environment variables first, but the whole stuff should be
illustrated in the above README.  Note that the most accurately maintained
RDBMS is PostgreSQL; there's no write tests for MySQL.
