<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>

<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>
</section>
<section>
<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>
</section>
<section>
<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>Recommended OpenLDAP settings</title>
<para>Some basic hints to configure the OpenLDAP server:</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Size limit:</emphasis> OpenLDAP allows by
default 500 return values per search, if you have more users/groups/hosts
change this in slapd.conf: e.g. "sizelimit 10000" or "sizelimit -1" for
unlimited return values.</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Indices:</emphasis> Indices will improve the
performance when searching for entries in the LDAP directory. The
following indices are recommended:</para>
<simplelist>
<member>index objectClass eq</member>
<member>index default sub</member>
<member>index uidNumber eq</member>
<member>index gidNumber eq</member>
<member>index memberUid eq</member>
<member>index cn,sn,uid,displayName pres,sub,eq</member>
<member># Samba 3.x</member>
<member>index sambaSID eq</member>
<member>index sambaPrimaryGroupSID eq</member>
<member>index sambaDomainName eq</member>

<title>Setup for home directory and quota management</title>
<para>Lamdaemon.pl is used to modify quota and home directories on a
remote or local host via SSH. If you want wo use it you have to set up the
following things to get it to work:</para>
<section>
<title>LDAP Account Manager configuration</title>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Set the remote or local host in the configuration (e.g.
127.0.0.1)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Path to lamdaemon.pl, e.g.
/srv/www/htdocs/lam/lib/lamdaemon.pl If you installed a Debian or
RPM package then the script may be located at
/usr/share/ldap-account-manager/lib or /var/www/html/lam/lib.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Your LAM admin user must be a valid Unix account. It needs to
have the object class "posixAccount" and an attribute "uid". This
account must be accepted by the SSH daemon of your home directory
server. Do not create a second local account but change your system
to accept LDAP users. You can use LAM to add the Unix account part
to your admin user.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</section>
<section>
<title>Setup sudo</title>
<para>The perl script has to run as root. Therefore we need a wrapper,
sudo. Edit /etc/sudoers on host where homedirs or quotas should be used
and add the following line:</para>
2009-11-24 12:10:10 +00:00
<para>$admin All= NOPASSWD: $path_to_lamdaemon</para>
2009-11-07 18:08:11 +00:00
2009-11-24 12:10:10 +00:00
<para><emphasis condition="">$admin</emphasis> is the admin user from
LAM (must be a valid Unix account) and
<emphasis>$path_to_lamdaemon</emphasis> is the path to
lamdaemon.pl.</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Example:</emphasis></para>
2009-11-07 18:08:11 +00:00
<para>myAdmin ALL= NOPASSWD: /srv/www/htdocs/lam/lib/lamdaemon.pl</para>
<para>You might need to run the sudo command once manually to init sudo.
The command "sudo -l" will show all possible sudo commands of the
current user.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Setup Perl</title>
<para>We need an extra Perl module - Quota. To install it, run:</para>
<simplelist>
<member>perl -MCPAN -e shell</member>
<member>install Quota</member>
</simplelist>
<para>If your Perl executable is not located in /usr/bin/perl you will
have to edit the path in the first line of lamdaemon.pl. If you have
problems compiling the Perl modules try installing a newer release of
your GCC compiler and the "make" application.</para>
<para>Several Linux distributions already include a quota package for
Perl.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Install libssh2</title>
<para>The libssh2 library is needed to connect to the homedir/quota
server via SSH.</para>
<section>
<title>Install libssh2</title>
<para>You can get libssh2 here: <ulink
url="http://www.libssh2.org">http://www.libssh2.org</ulink> Unpack the
package and install it by executing the commands "./configure", "make"
and "make install" in the extracted directory. Several Linux
distributions already include a package for libssh2.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Install SSH2 for PHP</title>
<para>Several Linux distributions already include a package (e.g.
libssh2-php).</para>
<para>Otherwise, run "pecl install ssh2-beta". If you have no pecl
command then install the PHP Pear package (e.g. php-pear or php5-pear)
for your distribution.</para>
<para>If you want to compile it yourself, get the sources here: <ulink
url="http://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2">http://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2</ulink></para>
<para>After installing the PHP module please add this line to your
php.ini:</para>
<para>extension=ssh2.so</para>
</section>
</section>
<section>
<title>Set up SSH</title>
<para>Your SSH daemon must offer the password authentication method. To
activate it just use this configuration option in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:</para>
<para>PasswordAuthentication yes</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Troubleshooting</title>
<para>If you have problems managing quotas and home directories then
these points might help:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>There is a test page for lamdaemon: Login to LAM and open
Tools -&gt; Tests -&gt; Lamdaemon test</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If you get garbage characters at the test page then PHP and
your php5-ssh2 library may not fit together. Try recompiling the
library and libssh2.</para>
<para>This combination was tested successfully: libssh2 0.13 with
php5-ssh2 0.10</para>
<para>php5-ssh2 0.11 should have no problems with recent libssh2
releases.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Check /var/log/auth.log or its equivalent on your system. This
file contains messages about all logins. If the ssh login failed
then you will find a description about the reason here.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Set sshd in debug mode. In /etc/ssh/sshd_conf add these
lines:</para>
<simplelist>
<member>SyslogFacility AUTH</member>
<member>LogLevel DEBUG3</member>
</simplelist>
<para>Now check /var/log/syslog for messages from sshd.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Update Openssh. A Suse Linux user reported that upgrading
Openssh solved the problem.</para>

<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>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</section>
<section>
<title>Adding a Kolab part to existing accounts</title>
<para>If you upgrade existing non-Kolab accounts please make sure that
the account has an Unix password.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Installing LAM on the Kolab server</title>
<para>You can install LAM in the directory "/kolab/var/kolab/www" which
is the root directory for Apache. The PHP installation already includes
all required packages.</para>

<title>InetOrgPerson and the host attribute</title>
<para>The attribute "host" is only in objectclass account. Unfortunatly
"account" conflicts with "inetorgperson". so there's no perfect way to use
both.</para>
<para>In order to get attribute host working you have to modify
schema/inetorgperson and include host:</para>
<literallayout># inetOrgPerson
# The inetOrgPerson represents people who are associated with an
# organization in some way. It is a structural class and is derived
# from the organizationalPerson which is defined in X.521 [X521].
