Hi Dan!
Thank you for taking the time for that detailed writeup.
I have taken a blank server with a fresh Debian Etch installation and
installed the very same packages you did. I did not yet apply the
patches as I wanted to make sure I get all that stuff right out of the
box before I did into canonicalization.
Here is where I got stuck:
cyrus@Debian-pre40-64-minimal:~$ ldapwhoami -Y EXTERNAL \
> -U gidNumber=8+uidNumber=104,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth \
> -X u:dwhite SASL/EXTERNAL
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method (-6)
additional info: SASL(-4): no mechanism available:
The -U flag is not meaningful with SASL/EXTERNAL. The "SASL/EXTERNAL" at
the end of your command is erroneous. (In Dan's email it was merely a
mis-wrapped line of text output.)
The EXTERNAL mechanism is only valid when you use an LDAP session that
has an out-of-band mechanism for transmitting the client credentials to
the server. That usually means a client certificate for TLS or IPSEC, or
an ldapi:// session. You didn't specify any ldapi:// URI here and you
didn't show what's in your ldap.conf file so presumably it's not using
ldapi.
I do have the modules installed (which I know is a common gotcha):
cyrus@Debian-pre40-64-minimal:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep sasl
libsasl2 install
libsasl2-2 install
libsasl2-modules install
libsasl2-modules-ldap install
Any idea what I am missing?
Do you have a 32 or 64 bit system?
Regards,
Torsten
