Hello! I am using squid-2.5.STABLE5-42.21 to access openldap2-2.2.27-6 LDAPv3. I am running SuSE which includes 2 versions of squid ldap auth via RPM. they are: :~ # which squid_ldap_auth /usr/sbin/squid_ldap_auth :~ # which squid_ldapauth /usr/sbin/squid_ldapauth In trying to test the commands from the cli, I can get squid_ldapauth to connect to the server via test account with an /etc/squid_ldapauth.conf file of: # ldap-server : pdc.wackyworld.tv ldap-port : 389 ldap-suffix : dc=wackyworld,dc=tv ldap-filter : (uid=%s) ldap-passwdfield: userPassword ldap-binddn : uid=bobo,ou=Users,dc=wackyworld,dc=tv ldap-password : bobo1 but I get this in the logs: Jul 21 14:39:45 pdc slapd[26580]: conn=739 fd=16 ACCEPT from IP=#removed#:38137 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) Jul 21 14:39:45 pdc slapd[26580]: conn=739 op=0 BIND dn="uid=bobo,ou=Users,dc=wackyworld,dc=tv" method=128 Jul 21 14:39:45 pdc slapd[26580]: conn=739 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=2 text=historical protocol version requested, use LDAPv3 instead Jul 21 14:39:45 pdc slapd[26580]: conn=739 fd=16 closed So it's trying LDAPv2. The only options for this command are usage: squid_ldapauth [-h] [-v] [-q] [-l] -h this help text -v verbose mode - default is off -q log queries - default is off -l togle usage of syslog - default is on so I can't use v3. the other command: squid_ldap_auth never connects. It just sits at a new line and never returns to the prompt without a ctrl-c. I've tried many different variations of: squid_ldap_auth -b "ou=Users,dc=wackyworld,dc=tv" -s sub -h pdc.wackyworld.tv -p 389 -v 3 -f "uid=%s" including using several -D dn's -w "passwords" that are acl'd in LDAP for all access. Still no connect in the LDAP logs and the program hangs at a new line. Any Ideas? I can ldapsearch with success all day from the same machine squid resides on. It works fine. Why won't squid_ldap_auth connect? How can I debug? I see nothing in syslog and the man page says: --snip-- Debug mode where each step taken will get reported in detail. Useful for understanding what goes wrong if the results is not what is expected. --/snip-- at the end but no option flag is listed. I've tried strace but see nothing useful. Thanks. Mike Branda
