Hi, Hopefully someone can help.
I'm trying to get SASL passthrough working in OpenLDAP to Active Directory. AD is the primary directory but I need Linux users to be able to authenticate to AD (via OpenLDAP) such that they don't have to manage multiple passwords. However, I've set things up as per various guidance (here<https://www.openldap.com/doc/admin21/sasl.html>, here<https://archive.camratus.com/2017/01/24/openldap-lsc-active-directory-sync-and-login-pass-through/>, here<https://www.ltb-project.org/documentation/sasl_delegation.html> and here<https://www.hellovinoth.com/pass-through-openldap-authentication-using-sasl-to-active-directory-on-centos/>) and it doesn't seem to work for me on Debian 10. After configuring everything I can run the following successfully: ldapsearch -x -H ldap://server.company.com:389 -D cn=ldapbind,cn=Users,DC=company,DC=com -w examplebindpassword -b '' -s base ldapsearch -x -H ldap://server.company.com:389 -D cn=ldapbind,cn=Users,DC=company,DC=com -w examplebindpassword -b "OU=Users,OU=IT,OU=Departments,OU=Group,DC=company,DC=com" "([email protected])" ldapsearch -x -H ldap://server.company.com:389 -D "CN=Test User,OU=Users,OU=IT,OU=Departments,OU=Group,DC=company,DC=com" -w exampleuserpassword -b "CN=Test User,OU=Users,OU=IT,OU=Departments,OU=Group,DC=company,DC=com" -s base "(objectclass=*)" These all return the correct results from Active Directory, so this works fine. Finally, I can run: sudo testsaslauthd -u [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> -p exampleuserpassword and I get: 0: OK "Success." So finally I create the same user in local OpenLDAP as Test User and add the password as {SASL}[email protected]<mailto:{SASL}[email protected]> and try to test pass-through authentication to AD: ldapsearch -x -H ldap://localhost -b dc=testing-prod,dc=com -D uid=testuser,ou=users,dc=testing-prod,dc=com -w exampleuserpassword But this doesn't work. I get the error: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) So SASL passthrough just isn't working and it isn't reading the password attribute as such because if I do: ldapsearch -x -H ldap://localhost -b dc=testing-prod,dc=com -D uid=testuser,ou=users,dc=testing-prod,dc=com -w {SASL}[email protected] This returns the local LDAP user. So it's reading the password literally as a password instead of interpreting it as SASL passthrough to AD. Have I missed some steps here? What am I missing?

And, I've also run both saslauthd and slapd in debug mode but I get no useful output that I can see. It looks like saslauthd and slapd just aren't talking. Any help or pointers are really appreciated. t04s /---
