[Fedora-directory-devel] Please review: [Bug 436397] New: LDAPI: move default LDAPI UNIX socket from /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-ID.socket to /var/run/slapd-ID.socket

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After the discussion, we agreed to move the LDAPI UNIX socket from RHDS/FDS run_dir (/var/run/dirsrv, by default) to its parent directory.

Thanks,

Description of problem:
* If fedora-ds-base is installed by root, the mode of
 /var/run/dirsrv is 0750, which prevents ordinary users to access
 the UNIX socket.  Should the mode be 0755?  Or we don't allow
 non-root/non-nobody users to use LDAPI?

   drwxr-x---  2 nobody nobody 4096 Mar  5 13:57 /var/run/dirsrv/
   It's set by makeDSDirs in DSCreate.pm.

We have one more level /var/run/dirsrv, which is hiding the socket from non-root and non-nobody... But yes, I have to install openldap and investigate more. rmeggins wrote:

maybe we should move the socket into /var/run? e.g. /var/run/slapd-instance.socket? I think that's a good idea. One thing I'd like to make sure is we have to worry about RHDS/FDS coexisting with OpenLDAP server on one host? Something like, if port 389 is already taken, our setup-ds offers alternative. Do we need to do something similar for LDAPI socket? rmeggins wrote:

Test result.
Installed by root and the server's owner is nobody.
