<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>

<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

</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>

enter one DN per line.</para>
<para>The second one is to let LAM search for the DN in your
added server profiles section
2010-02-20 17:25:25 +00:00
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>
HTTP authentication
2011-08-23 19:05:05 +00:00

<title>Typical scenarios</title>
<para>This is a list of typical scenarios how your LDAP environment
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>

<section>
<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>
</section>
<section>
<title>Multiple LDAP servers</title>
<para>You can manage as many LDAP servers with LAM as you wish. This
scenario is similar to the advanced scenario above. Just create one
server profile for each LDAP server.</para>

<title>Single LDAP directory with lots of users (&gt;10 000)</title>
<para>LAM was tested to work with 10 000 users. If you have a lot
more users then you have basically two options.</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Divide your LDAP tree in organisational units: This is
usually the best performing option. Put your accounts in several
organisational units and setup LAM as in the advanced scenario
above.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Increase memory limit: Increase the memory_limit parameter
in your php.ini. This will allow LAM to read more entries. But
this will slow down the response times of LAM.</para>

<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>

<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>You can allow your users to reset their passwords themselves.
This will reduce your administrative costs for cases where users
forget their passwords.</para>
<para>To enable this feature please activate the checkbox "Enable
password self reset link":</para>

<para>You can now configure the minimum answer length for password
reset answers. This is checked when you allow you users to specify
their answers via the self service. Additionally, you can specify the
text of the password reset link (default: "Forgot password?"). The
link is displayed below the password field on the self service login
page.</para>
<para>Next, please enter the DN and password of an LDAP entry that is
allowed to reset the passwords. This entry needs write access to the
attributes shadowLastChange, pwdAccountLockedTime and userPassword. It
also needs read access to uid, mail, passwordSelfResetQuestion and
passwordSelfResetAnswer. Please note that LAM Pro saves the password
on your server file system. Therefore, it is required to protect your
server against unauthorised access.</para>
<para>Finally, please specify the list of password reset questions
that the user can choose.</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">New fields for self service
page</emphasis></para>
<para>There are two new fields that you may put on the self service
page for your users. These fields allow them to change the reset
question and its answer.</para>

<para>LAM Pro will use this information to find the correct LDAP entry
of this user. It then displays the user's security question and input
fields for his new password. If the answer is correct then the new
password will be set. Additionally, pwdAccountLockedTime will be
removed and shadowLastChange updated to the current time if
existing.</para>

<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>
<para>Security sensitive directories:</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>

<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>

<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>
