occurred. > Since the query filter at this point is "{(objectClass=*}}", the Centrify > LDAP proxy does not have enough data to determine what information to return > to the caller. However, the filter was something like > "{(objectClass=posixAccount}}", it will be able to build a set of attributes > to return to the caller since it would determine that the call wants data for > a specific _profile_. > This can be seen by the following {{tcpdump}} entry: > {code} > LDAPMessage searchRequest(2) "uid=user1,ou=people,ou=dev,dc=apache,dc=org" > baseObject > messageID: 2 > protocolOp: searchRequest (3) > searchRequest > baseObject: uid=user1,ou=people,ou=dev,dc=apache,dc=org > scope: baseObject (0) > derefAliases: derefAlways (3) > sizeLimit: 0 > timeLimit: 0 > typesOnly: False > Filter: (objectClass=*) > attributes: 0 items > [Response In: 2] > controls: 1 item > {code} > Note the filter line above: *{{Filter: (objectClass=*)}}* > From the Centrify LDAP proxy logs, the following lines can be seen showing > that no mapping is avaialbe: > {noformat} > Nov 8 12:13:45 host1 slapd: cdc search start with filterstr: (objectClass=*) > Nov 8 12:13:45 host1 slapd: cdc search: objectType = ( is mapped to NONE) > Nov 8 12:13:45 host1 slapd: cdc search after translation filter = > (objectClass=*) > {noformat} > This search filter is hardcoded in {{com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx}} as seen in > http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/root/jdk/openjdk/6-b14/com/sun/jndi/ldap/LdapCtx.java#1308. > This code is invoked from the Spring LDAP library after attempting to > authenticate using the Spring > org.springframework.security.ldap.authentication.BindAuthenticator class. > *Solution* > To solve this, Ambari should avoid using > {{org.springframework.security.ldap.authentication.BindAuthenticator}} to > authenticate users via LDAP so that more control can be had over when and how > user attributes are obtained. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
