the message above, but the administrative console show error

What error?





I tried it again and the error message is exactly:

Error fading object 'dn: dc=example, dc=com'.
The error send by the server was:
".

In the Whireshark log was still the search request witch

control:

	2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.2

Why is this control needed by the server when I removed it
from




Database link settings?

I'm not sure - maybe the console is not working correctly. Try


this:


1) Shutdown the server
2) cd /etc/dirsrv/slapd-yourinstance
3) edit dse.ldif - look for the entry
dn: cn=config,cn=chaining database,cn=plugins,cn=config
4) edit the nsTransmittedControls attribute - remove
2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.2
5) save and restart the server




I looked into dse.ldif for a nsTransmittedControls attribute.
There



is only the 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.29539.12. , not the problematic
2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.2.



Isn't the 2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.2 hardcoded?



If it is, I don't see it. There is no mention of managedsa or
2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.2 anywhere in the chaining backend code.
The only place it is mentioned is in the default list of
nsTransmittedControls in the template-dse.ldif used during new
instance creation.



Why is this so necessary?




It's not necessary, and I'm not sure where it is coming from.
Once place might be an internal operation, but I'm not sure what
internal operation would be doing this. You might also try to
remove nsActiveChainingComponents and
nsPossibleChainingComponents to see


if


one of those components is doing an internal operation with
managedsait set.



I removed nsActiveChainingComponents and
nsPossibleChainingComponents


and it didn't  help.

Then I'm not sure where it's coming from. I suppose you could
enable tracing in the directory server and see if there is
anything
interesting in the error log - see
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ#Troubleshooting


In the attachment is the part of the server error log. I removed
all
messages before I click on the exclamation mark before the DN in
the
Fedora administration console -> Directory folder tab. I don't
understand this log. It is helpful for you?



Ah, I see. You are using the console to try to browse the AD tree?
And you are using the console admin user "admin"? Try ldapsearch
from
the command line, and attempt to authenticate as an AD user (e.g.
cn=administrator,cn=users,dc=example,dc=com).

Yes, you are right. I use the console to browse AD tree. But I do
this because there is attention marker before the root suffix (lib-
w2k3r2) in the Directory tab and I just double click on it.
I tried ldapsearch using AD user (Administrator). I'm able to login
but the ldapsearch don't show any results (I use Apache Directory
Studio). When I looked into Whireshark log, I now see that another
critical extension is missing: 2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.12. The log is in
the attachment.
Make sure 2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.12 is not in the transmitted controls.
Set nsProxiedAuthorization to 0 - that should make it not use
2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.12 which is the proxyauth control.

It works. Thank you very much! I can connect to the AD and list users and whatever I want.
I have one more difficulty. When I send ldapmodify to the node in the AD, FDS add to this request two more attributes (modifiersname, modifytimestamp). AD don't know these attributes and returns the error (errorMessage: 00000057: LdapErr: DSID-0C090A85, comment: Error in attribute conversion operation, data 0, vece). Is it possible to disable this functionality
Yes. This is the nsslapd-lastmod attribute in cn=config - set this to 0
or rewrite attributes name into AD attributes name (e.g. modifytimestamp -> whenChanged)? I cannot change AD schema.
No, it's not possible to map it.

BTW, I would really appreciate it if you could write up something for the wiki about "using chaining to create an AD 'view'" - if you would rather just send me the info in an email, that would be fine too.

Hi all,

I’m trying to setup proxy on FDS to another LDAP server



(OpenLDAP



and Active Directory). I tried two ways, but none of
these

works:



1) New database link to LDAP server.

- The remote LDAP server (OpenLDAP) returns: null.


manageDSAit


control






value not found







You might have to tweak the controls used by chaining -
see
http://tinyurl.com/culeft






2) Create multiple-master replication and setup other

server

as






consumer.






- But this show error: 255 Replication error acquiring


replica:


unknown error.







Replication will only work to a SunDS, not to any other


vendor.


My question is: Is there way how to setup proxy to access



another



LDAP






server from Fedora DS? I know that is possible to use AD


sync,


but




I





cannot install anything on the AD server. The second
reason why



I



need






to setup proxy is to use data stored in LDAP server


(OpenLDAP,


Open Direcoty Server and Active Directory) in one place.
I
need




to




update





them too. It is not necessary to synchronize passwords.
