Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

What to test?

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on OpenLDAP with TLS encryption. OpenLDAP in Fedora 14 uses Mozilla NSS instead of OpenSSL crypto backend. This change should have no effect for users, but to be sure we want to test OpenLDAP server and as many programs using OpenLDAP libraries (libldap) as possible.

Who's available

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...

  • Development - Jan Zeleny (jzeleny), Jan Vcelak (jvcelak), Rich Megginson (rmeggins)
  • Quality Assurance - Ondrej Moris (omoris)

Prerequisite for Test Day

  1. Fedora 14 system with openldap and openldap-clients packages (openldap-servers for testing the server)

How to test?

Choose one of applications in the list above and mark it on this page by adding your name into "Taken by" column. Perform some testing. Below is a table of features what might be tested. The table lists common OpenLDAP based applications and the tls options used. The table lists some features which are supported by ldap.conf file. If your application uses OpenLDAP and is able to configure it to use TLS/SSL, you will probably have similar configuration options.

  • Application: OpenLDAP command line tools - ldapsearch, ldapmodify, et. al.
  • Default config file: /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, ~/.ldaprc
  • see man ldap.conf for more information
  • Use the -Z or -ZZ command line option to use StartTLS with ldap:// URIs
Config option Description Example
URI LDAP URI - use ldaps:// for LDAPS, or use ldap:// with -Z cmd line flag for starttls ldaps://ldap.example.com:636/
TLS_CACERT Full path and filename of file containing CA certificates to use /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
TLS_CACERTDIR Full path name of directory containing CA certificates in separate files /etc/openldap/cacerts
TLS_CERT Full path name and file name of client cert file /home/user/myusercert.pem
TLS_KEY Full path name and file name of cert private key file - must be unencrypted /home/user/myuserkey.pem
TLS_CIPHER_SUITE Specifies TLS cipher suites to use HIGH:MEDIUM:+SSLv3
TLS_REQCERT Specifies what checks to perform on server certs demand
  • Application: OpenLDAP server
  • Default config file: /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif
  • see man slapd-config for more information
  • Use the -H command line option to have slapd listen for LDAPS requests (e.g. slapd -H ldaps://hostname ....)
Config option Description Example
olcTLSCACertificateFile Full path and filename of file containing CA certificates to use /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
olcTLSCACertificatePath Full path name of directory containing CA certificates in separate files /etc/openldap/cacerts
olcTLSCertificateFile Full path name and file name of server cert file /home/user/myusercert.pem
olcTLSCertificateKeyFile Full path name and file name of server private key file - must be unencrypted /home/user/myuserkey.pem
olcTLSCipherSuite Specifies TLS cipher suites to use HIGH:MEDIUM:+SSLv3
olcTLSVerifyClient Specifies what checks to perform on incoming client certs demand

For OpenLDAP server, we also need to test server-to-server interactions that use TLS. For example, test replication from a server using Mozilla NSS to another server using OpenSSL using LDAPS or StartTLS. Try a back-ldap or back-meta configuration using TLS/SSL.

  • Application: pam_ldap/nss_ldap
  • Default config file: /etc/ldap.conf
  • see man nss_ldap for more information
Config option Description Example
uri LDAP URI - use ldaps:// for LDAPS, or use ldap:// with ssl start_tls option (see below) uri ldaps://ldap.example.com:636/
ssl on,off,start_tls off - no TLS ; on - use LDAPS ; start_tls - use LDAP with the StartTLS operation (recommended) ssl start_tls
tls_cacertfile Full path and filename of file containing CA certificates to use tls_cacertfile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
tls_cacertdir Full path name of directory containing CA certificates in separate files tls_cacertdir /etc/openldap/cacerts
tls_cert Full path name and file name of client cert file for client cert auth (SASL/EXTERNAL) tls_cert /path/to/myusercert.pem
tls_key Full path name and file name of client cert private key file - must be unencrypted tls_key /path/to/myuserkey.pem
tls_ciphers Specifies TLS cipher suites to use tls_ciphers HIGH:MEDIUM:+SSLv3
tls_checkpeer yes,no check the server cert or no tls_checkpeer yes

You can use our prepared LDAP server for your testing:

Our testing servers:
openldap01.fedoraproject.org
- F13, openldap + OpenSSL
openldap02.fedoraproject.org
- F14, openldap + NSS (this is the server with new libldap, which is tested)
openldap03.fedoraproject.org
- F14, 389 DS

After you perform testing, it is important to report results. A special section Test Results is available. Here you should write: what program have you tested, what was tested (i.e. what tests were performed) and what was the result. After you fill this report, please add a mark into "Notes" column in package list:

Pass pass
in case everything was ok
Warning warn
in case there was probably something wrong
Fail fail
in case the test failed

In the latter two cases a description of what went wrong should be available in #Test Results section below.

Update your machine

If you're running Fedora 14, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager.

Kickstart / Live DVD

We recommend the testing to be done in virtual machine, using a Fedora 14 network install as installation medium. Boot and installation images are available (i386, x86_64)

If you want to download Live medium, we have two LiveCDs available for you here. These images contain LiveCDs with shortcuts to IRC and this wiki page. They also have all Tier 1 programs pre-installed in case you want to test one of them.

Testing environment

Available servers

Servers are not ready
We are working on this right now
server service package version base DN
openldap01.fedoraproject.org OpenLDAP + OpenSSL openldap-servers-2.4.21-11.fc13.x86_64 dc=silver,dc=testday
openldap02.fedoraproject.org 389 Directory Server (not installed yet) dc=bronze,dc=testday
openldap03.fedoraproject.org OpenLDAP + MozNSS openldap-servers-2.4.22-7.fc14.x86_64 dc=gold,dc=testday

Download OpenLDAP Testday CA certificate (PEM format). Certificates of testing servers are signed by this CA.

How to setup your own server

Note.png
Avoid when configuring OpenLDAP
  1. do not leave any empty lines in OpenLDAP server configuration files (everything in /etc/openldap/slapd.d)
  2. no olcTLS* option must be the last line in your database configuration or your server will not start (bug #641946), you can add some line with comment (#)
  1. install OpenLDAP server: yum install openldap-servers
  2. choose and set your server base DN, e.g. dc=copper,dc=testday
  3. generate admin (manager) user password hash:
    slappasswd
  4. update /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={1}bdb.ldif
    • olcSuffix: dc=copper,dc=testday
    • olcRootDN: cn=Manager,dc=copper,dc=testday
    • olcRootPW: <admin-user-password-hash>
  5. update /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config/{2}monitor.ldif
    • olcAccess: {0}to * by dn.base="cn=manager,dc=copper,dc=testday" read by * non
  6. start your server: service slapd start
  7. try your serve functionality
    • ldapsearch -H ldap://localhost -x -b "" -s base "(objectclass=*)" namingContexts
    • you should get: namingContexts: dc=copper,dc=testday
  8. create base nodes
    • download example root DN nodes (LDIF)
    • update DNs in that file
    • import that file into the database:
      ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=copper,dc=testday" -W -f root.ldif
  9. install BDB configuration file
    • cp /usr/share/openldap-servers/DB_CONFIG.example /var/lib/ldap/DB_EXAMPLE
  10. restart your server: service slapd restart
  11. your server is now configured and running without TLS
  12. generate certificates for your server (see below)
  13. update /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif, add following options (customised):
    • olcTLSCACertificateFile: /etc/openldap/certs/cacert.pem
    • olcTLSCertificateFile: /etc/openldap/certs/openldap01.pem
    • olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/openldap/certs/openldap01.pem
  14. your server is running with TLS support
