#3468 ipa-ldap-updater can fail if minssf is > 0
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by rcritten.

If the minssf is > 0 and you try to run ipa-ldap-updater with a password it will fail.

# ldapmodify -x -D 'cn=directory manager' -w password 
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-minssf
nsslapd-minssf: 56

# ipa-ldap-updater install/updates/55-pbacmemberof.update 
Directory Manager password:

Unexpected error - see /var/log/ipaupgrade.log for details:
DatabaseError: Server is unwilling to perform: Minimum SSF not met. arguments: base="cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config", scope=0, filterstr="(objectclass=*)"

At a minimum we should not do a simple bind using DM password on a non-secure connection.


It is actually valid error that needs to be fixed as hardening is recommended. Without attached patch schema update was failing for me as it was missing the passthrough of ldapi value.

master:

  • a9fe37e ipa-ldap-updater: make possible to use LDAPI with autobind in case of hardened LDAP configuration
