Also, I think using filters to check whether a given user is part of a given 
group only works with AD but not with OpenLDAP, because the latter puts group 
members as attributes into the group object in the form of member attributes, 
while the former puts group memberships into the user objects in the form of 
memberOf attributes.

Ah, so it does work! I was going by the example config file for c2s, which did 
not mention pam, so I thought it just wasn't supported...

Anyway, I've been reading authreg_ldapfull.c for a bit, and while I'm not very 
familiar with the code base yet, it looks like simply implementing the group 
check feature right there would not be that hard. I think I will try my luck 
with that, and if it doesn't work out go back to PAM.

Hm, yes, but this is in that ldap-module (as opposed to ldapfull), which has 
its own problem: It does not allow me to specify the URI of the LDAP server as 
free form, so I cannot use the ldapi protocol. (The ldap server is running 
locally, listening on a unix socket, and I do not want to configure it to 
listen on any IP sockets.)

Isn't this wat you are looking for?

I use pam with jabberd2:

And in pam I require a specific group, and I'm using LDAP as the account
backend. Works like a charm.

LDAP Auth: Require user to be in specified LDAP-group

2012-12-11 Thread Guido Winkelmann
Hi,

I'm trying to integrate Jabberd2 into my single-account scheme using LDAP, and 
I'm running into problems with that.

One of my requirements for this is that I need to be able to specify for every 
user exactly which services he or she is allowed to access, so that, for 
example, a user who only needs access to SMTP and IMAP services is not also 
automatically able to login via SSH or FTP. For the services I have running so 
far, I was able to implement this by creating a new LDAP group (with 
objectClass: groupOfNames) for each service and having every service check 
whether a freshly authenticated user is a member of the respective group for 
this service before granting access.

Unfortunately, jabberd2 does not appear to support this (or PAM, which would 
have provided a nice workaround).

Does anyone know of any other way to achieve this?

Regards,

Guido
