  <title>LDAP Account Manager - Manual</title>

  <preface>
    <title>Overview</title>

    <para>LDAP Account Manager (LAM) manages user, group and host accounts in
    an LDAP directory. LAM runs on any webserver with PHP5 support and
    connects to your LDAP server unencrypted or via SSL/TLS.</para>

    <para>Currently LAM supports these account types: Samba 3, Unix, Kolab 2,
    address book entries, NIS mail aliases and MAC addresses. There is a tree
    viewer included to allow access to the raw LDAP attributes. You can use
    templates for account creation and use multiple configuration profiles.
    LAM is translated to Catalan, Chinese (Traditional + Simplified), Czech,
    Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish,
    Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.</para>

    <title>Architecture</title>

    <para>There are basically two groups of users for LAM:</para>

    <itemizedlist>
      <listitem>
        <para><emphasis role="bold">LDAP administrators and support
        staff:</emphasis></para>

        <para>These people administer LDAP entries like user accounts, groups,
        ...</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para><emphasis role="bold">Users:</emphasis></para>

        <para>This includes all people who need to manage their own data
        inside the LDAP directory. E.g. these people edit their contact
        information with LAM self service (LAM Pro).</para>
      </listitem>
    </itemizedlist>

        </imageobject>
      </mediaobject>
    </screenshot>

    <para>Therefore, LAM is split into two separate parts, LAM for admins and
    for users. LAM for admins allows to manage various types of LDAP entries
    (e.g. users, groups, hosts, ...). It also contains tools like batch
    upload, account profiles, LDAP schema viewer and an LDAP browser. LAM for
    users focuses on end users. It provides a self service for the users to
    edit their personal data (e.g. contact information). The LAM administrator
    is able to specify what data may be changed by the users. The design is
    also adaptable to your corporate design.</para>

    <para>LAM for admins/users is accessible via HTTP(S) by all major web
    browsers (Firefox, IE, Opera, ...).</para>

    <para><emphasis role="bold">LAM runtime environment:</emphasis></para>

    <para>LAM runs on PHP. Therefore, it is independant of CPU architecture
    and operating system (OS). You can run LAM on any OS which supports Apache
    or other PHP compatible web servers.</para>

    <para><emphasis role="bold">Home directory server:</emphasis></para>

    <para>You can manage user home directories and their quotas inside LAM.
    The home directories may reside on the server where LAM is installed or
    any remote server. The commands for home directory management are secured
    by SSH. LAM will use the user name and password of the logged in LAM
    administrator for authentication.</para>

    <para><emphasis role="bold">LDAP directory:</emphasis></para>

    <para>LAM connects to your LDAP server via standard LDAP protocol. It also
    supports encrypted connections with SSL and TLS.</para>

        <para>First, you need to make a backup of your existing configuration
        files.</para>

        <para>LAM stores all configuration files in the "config" folder.
        Please backup the following files and copy them after the new version
        is installed.</para>

        <simplelist>
          <member>config/*.conf</member>

          <member>config/config.cfg</member>

        <para>Second, <link linkend="a_uninstall">uninstall</link> your

        <para>Third, <link linkend="a_install">install</link> the new LAM
        (Pro) release. Skip the part about setting up LAM configuration
        files.</para>

        <para>Finally, restore your configuration files from the backup. Copy
        all files from the backup folder to the config folder in your LAM Pro
        installation. Do not simply replace the folder because the new LAM
        (Pro) release might include additional files in this folder. Overwrite
        any existing files with your backup files.</para>

        <para>Now open your webbrowser and point it to the LAM login page. All
        your settings should be migrated.</para>

    <para>After you <link linkend="a_installation">installed</link> LAM you
    can configure it to fit your needs. The complete configuration can be done
    inside the application. There is no need to edit configuration
    files.</para>

    <para>Please point you browser to the location where you installed LAM.
    E.g. for Debian/RPM this is http://yourServer/lam. If you installed LAM
    via the tar.gz then this may vary. You should see the following

          <para>The server address of your LDAP server can be a DNS name or an

          encrypted connections. LDAP+SSL (LDAPS) encrypted connections are
          specified with ldaps://. The port value is optional. TLS cannot be
          combined with ldaps://.</para>

          <para>LAM includes an LDAP browser which allows direct modification

          <para>The search limit is used to reduce the number of search
          results which are returned by your LDAP server.</para>

          <para>The access level specifies if LAM should allow to modify LDAP

          <para>LAM supports two methods for login. You may either specify a
          fixed list of LDAP DNs or let LAM search for the DN in your
          directory. E.g. if a user logs in with the user name "joe" then LAM
          will do an LDAP search for this user name. When it finds a matching
          DN then it will use this to authenticate the user. The wildcard
          "%USER%" will be replaced by "joe" in this example. This way you can
          provide login by user name, email address or other LDAP
          attributes.</para>

          <para>Each account type needs a so called "base module". This is the
          basement for all LDAP entries of this type. Usually, it provides the
          structural object class for the LDAP entries. There must be exactly
          one active base module for each account type.</para>

          <para>Furthermore, there may be any number of additional active
          account modules. E.g. you may select "Personal" as base module and
          Unix + Samba as additional modules.</para>

        may look like and how to structure the server profiles for it.</para>

        <section>
          <title>Simple: One LDAP directory managed by a small group of
          admins</title>

          <para>This is the easiest and most common scenario. You want to
          manage a single LDAP server and there is only one or a few admins.
          In this case just create one server profile and you are done. The
          admins may be either specified as a fixed list or by using an LDAP
          search at login time.</para>

          <title>Advanced: One LDAP server which is managed by different admin
          groups</title>

          <para>Large organisations may have one big LDAP directory for all
          user/group accounts. But the users are managed by different groups
          of admins (e.g. departments, locations, subsidiaries, ...). The
          users are typically divided into organisational units in the LDAP
          tree. Admins may only manage the users in their part of the
          tree.</para>

          <screenshot>
            <mediaobject>
              <imageobject>
                <imagedata fileref="images/LDAPStructuresAdvanced.png" />
              </imageobject>
            </mediaobject>
          </screenshot>

          <para>In this situation it is recommended to create one server
          profile for each admin group (e.g. department). Setup the LDAP
          suffixes in the server profiles to point to the needed
          organisational units. E.g. use
          ou=people,ou=department1,dc=company,dc=com or
          ou=department1,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com as LDAP suffix for users.
          Do the same for groups, hosts, ... This way each admin group will
          only see its own users. You may want to use LDAP search for the LAM
          login in this scenario. This will prevent that you need to update a
          server profile if the number of admins changes.</para>

          <para><emphasis role="bold">Attention:</emphasis> LAM's feature to
          automatically find free UIDs/GIDs for new users/groups will not work
          in this case. LAM uses the user/group suffix to search for already
          assigned UIDs/GIDs. As an alternative you can specify different
          UID/GID ranges for each department. Then the UIDs/GIDs will stay
          unique for the whole directory.</para>

        display a dialog where you need to enter the password. The mail
        domains specify for which accounts mailboxes may be created/deleted.
        E.g. if you enter "lam-demo.org" then mailboxes can be managed for

      <title>Profile editor</title>

      <para>The account profiles are templates for your accounts. Here you can
      specify default values which can then be loaded when you create
      accounts. You may also load a template for an existing account to reset
      it to default values. When you create a new account then LAM will always
      load the profile named <emphasis role="bold">"default"</emphasis>. This
      account profile can include default values for all your accounts.</para>

      <title>File upload</title>

      <para>When you need to create lots of accounts then you can use LAM's
      file upload to create them. LAM will read a CSV formatted file and
      create the related LDAP entries. Please check the data in you CSV file
      carefully. LAM will do less checks for the file upload than for single
      account creation.</para>

      <para>At the first page please select the account type and what
      extensions should be activated.</para>

        </mediaobject>
      </screenshot>

      <para>The next page shows all available options for the file upload. You
      will also find a sample CSV file which can be used as template for your
      CSV file. All red options are required columns in the file. You need to
      specify a value for each account.</para>

      <para>When you upload the CSV file then LAM first does some checks on
      this file. This includes syntax checks and if all required data was
      entered. No changes in the LDAP directory are done at this time.</para>

      <para>If the checks were successful then LAM will ask again if you want
      to create the accounts. You will also have the chance to check the
      upload by viewing the changes in LDIF format.</para>

      <para>All accounts in LAM may be exported as PDF files. You can specify
      the page structure and displayed information by editing the PDF
      profiles.</para>

      <para>When you export accounts to PDF then each account will get its own
      page inside the PDF. There is a headline on each page where you can show
      a page title. You may also add a logo to each page. To add more possible
      logos simply copy the images to config/pdf/logos.</para>

      <para>The main part is structured into sections of information. Each
      section has a title. This can either be static text or the value of an
      attribute. You may also insert a static text block as section. Sections
      can be moved by using the arrows next to the section title.</para>

      <para>Each section can contain multiple fields which usually represent
      LDAP attributes. You can simply add new fields by selecting the field
      name and its position. Then use the arrows to move the field inside the
      section.</para>

              layout of the self service pages. This is useful to adapt them
              to your corporate design. Please enter one link per

      <title>Adapt the self service to your corporate design</title>

      <para>LAM Pro allows you to integrate customs CSS style definitions and
      design the header of all self service pages. This way you can integrate
      you own logo and use your company's colors.</para>

      <section>
        <title>Custom header</title>

        <para>The default LAM Pro header includes a logo and a horizontal
        line. You can enter any HTML code here. It will be included in the
        self services pages after the body tag.</para>

        <title>CSS files</title>

        <para>Usually, companies have regulations about their corporate design
        and use common CSS files. This assures a common appearance of all
        intranet pages (e.g. colors and fonts). To include additional CSS
        files just use the following setting for this task. The additional CSS
        links will be added after LAM Pro's default CSS link. This way you can
        overwrite LAM Pro's style.</para>

      <title>LAM configuration passwords</title>

      <para>LAM supports a two level authorization system for its
      configuration. Therefore, there are two types of configuration
      passwords:</para>

      <itemizedlist>
        <listitem>
          <para><emphasis role="bold">master configuration
          password:</emphasis> needed to change general settings,

        <listitem>
          <para><emphasis role="bold">server profile password:</emphasis> used
          to change the settings of a server profile (e.g. LDAP server and
          account types to manage)</para>
        </listitem>
      </itemizedlist>

      <para>The master configuration password can be used to reset a server
      profile password. Each server profile has its own profile
      password.</para>

      <para>Both password types are stored as hash values in the configuration
      files for enhanced security.</para>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>Use of SSL</title>

      <para>The data which is transfered between you and LAM is very
      sensitive. Please always use SSL encrypted connections between LAM and
      your browser to protect yourself against network sniffers.</para>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>LDAP with SSL and TLS</title>

      <para>SSL will be used if you use ldaps://servername in your
      configuration profile. TLS can be activated with the "Activate TLS"
      option.</para>

      <para>You will need to setup ldap.conf to trust your server certificate.
      Some installations use /etc/ldap.conf and some use /etc/ldap/ldap.conf.
      It is a good idea to symlink /etc/ldap.conf to /etc/ldap/ldap.conf.
      Specify the server CA certificate with the following option:</para>

      <para>TLS_CACERT /etc/ldap/ca/myCA/cacert.pem</para>

      <para>This needs to be the public part of the signing certificate
      authority. See "man ldap.conf" for additional options.</para>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>Chrooted servers</title>

      <para>If your server is chrooted and you have no access to /dev/random
      or /dev/urandom this can be a security risk. LAM stores your LDAP
      password encrypted in the session. LAM uses rand() to generate the key
      if /dev/random and /dev/urandom are not accessible. Therefore the key
      can be easily guessed. An attaker needs read access to the session file
      (e.g. by another Apache instance) to exploit this.</para>

      <title>Protection of your LDAP password and directory contents</title>

      <para>You have to install the MCrypt extension for PHP to enable
      encryption.</para>

      <para>Your LDAP password is stored encrypted in the session file. The
      key and IV to decrypt it are stored in two cookies. We use MCrypt/AES to
      encrypt the password. All data that was read from LDAP and needs to be
      stored in the session file is also encrypted.</para>

      <title>Apache configuration</title>

      <para>LAM includes several .htaccess files to protect your configuration
      files and temporary data. Apache is often configured to not use
      .htaccess files by default. Therefore, please check your Apache
      configuration and change the override setting to:</para>

      <para>AllowOverride All</para>

      <para>If you are experienced in configuring Apache then you can also
      copy the security settings from the .htaccess files to your main Apache
      configuration.</para>

      <para>If possible, you should not rely on .htaccess files but also move
      the config and sess directory to a place outside of your WWW root. You
      can put a symbolic link in the LAM directory so that LAM finds the
      configuration/session files.</para>

      <title>Setup sudo</title>

      <para>The perl script has to run as root. Therefore we need a wrapper,

    <title>Kolab user management</title>

    <para>Here are some notes on managing Kolab accounts with LAM:</para>

    <section>
      <title>Creating accounts</title>

      <para>The mailbox server cannot be changed after the account has been
      saved. Please make sure that the value is correct. The email address
      ("Personal" page) must match your Kolab domain, otherwise the account
      will not work.</para>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>Deleting accounts</title>

      <para>If you want to cleanly delete accounts use the "Mark for deletion"
      button on the Kolab subpage of an account. This will also remove the
      user's mailbox. If you delete the account from the account list (which
      is standard for LAM accounts) then no cleanup actions are made.</para>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>Managing accounts with both LAM and Kolab Admin GUI</title>

      <para>The Kolab GUI has some restrictions that LAM does not have. Please
      pay attention to the following restrictions:</para>

      <itemizedlist>
        <listitem>
          <para>Common name in LAM</para>

          <para>The common name must have the format "&lt;first name&gt;
          &lt;last name&gt;". You can leave the field empty in LAM and it will
          automatically fill in the correct value.</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>Changing first/last name in Kolab GUI</para>

          <para>Do not change the first/last name of your users in the Kolab
          GUI! The GUI will change the common name which leads to an LDAP
          object class violation. This is caused by a bug in the Kolab
          GUI.</para>
