given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Overview

The openldap module allows you to easily manage OpenLDAP with Puppet. By default it will use OLC (cn=config).

Features supported

Object olc (slapd.d)
global_conf Y
database Y
module Y
overlay Y
access Y
index Y
schema Y

Usage

Configuring the client

class { 'openldap::client': }

For a more customized configuration:

class { 'openldap::client':
  base       => 'dc=example,dc=com',
  uri        => ['ldap://ldap.example.com', 'ldap://ldap-master.example.com:666'],
  tls_cacert => '/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt',
}

Configuring the server

class { 'openldap::server': }
openldap::server::database { 'dc=foo,dc=example.com':
  ensure => present,
}

For a more customized configuration:

class { 'openldap::server':
  ldaps_ifs => ['/'],
  ssl_cert  => '/etc/ldap/ssl/slapd.pem',
  ssl_key   => '/etc/ldap/ssl/slapd.key',
}

If you need multiple databases:

class { 'openldap::server':
  databases => {
    'dc=foo,dc=example,dc=com' => {
      directory => '/var/lib/ldap/foo',
    },
    'dc=bar,dc=example,dc=com' => {
      directory => '/var/lib/ldap/bar',
    },
  },
}

Configuring a global parameter:

openldap::server::globalconf { 'security':
  ensure => present,
  value  => 'tls=128',
}

Configuring multiple olc serverIDs for multiple master or mirror mode

openldap::server::globalconf { 'ServerID':
  ensure  => present,
  value   => { 'ServerID' => [ '1 ldap://master1.example.com', '2 ldap://master2.example.com' ] }
}

Configuring security for global

openldap::server::globalconf { 'Security':
  ensure  => present,
    value   => { 'Security' => [ 'simple_bind=128', 'ssf=128', 'tls=0' ] }

Configuring a database

openldap::server::database { 'dc=example,dc=com':
  directory => '/var/lib/ldap',
  rootdn    => 'cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com',
  rootpw    => 'secret',
}

rootpw will be automatically converted to a SSHA hash with random salt.

Support SHA-2 password

openldap::server::database { 'dc=example,dc=com':
  directory => '/var/lib/ldap',
  rootdn    => 'cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com',
  rootpw    => '{SHA384}QZdaK3FnibbilSPbthnf3cO8lBWsRyM9i1MZTUFP21RdBSLSNFgYc2eFFzJG/amX',
}

Configuring modules

openldap::server::module { 'memberof':
  ensure => present,
}

Configuring overlays

openldap::server::overlay { 'memberof on dc=example,dc=com':
  ensure => present,
}

Configuring ACPs/ACLs

Documentation about olcAcces state the following spec:

5.2.5.2. olcAccess: to <what> [ by <who> [<accesslevel>] [<control>] ]+

Define priority and suffix in the title:

openldap::server::access { '0 on dc=example,dc=com':
  what     => 'attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange',
  access   => [
    'by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write',
    'by anonymous auth',
    'by self write',
    'by * none',
  ],
}

from the openldap documentation

The frontend is a special database that is used to hold database-level options that should be applied to all the other databases. Subsequent database definitions may also override some frontend settings.

So use the suffix 'cn=frontend' for this special database

openldap::server::access { '0 on cn=frontend' :
  what   => '*',
  access => [
    'by dn.exact=gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth manage',
    'by * break',
  ],
}

Note:

For purging unmanaged entries, rely on the resources resource:

resources { 'openldap_access':
  purge => true,
}

openldap::server::access { '0 on dc=example,dc=com':
  what   => ...,
  access => [...],
}
openldap::server::access { '1 on dc=example,dc=com':
  what   => ...,
  access => [...],
}

Call your acl from a hash:

The class openldap::server::access_wrapper was designed to simplify creating ACL. Each ACL is distinct hash in order to avoid collisions when multiple identical what are present (to * in this example).

$example_acl = [
  {
    'to *' => [
      'by dn.exact=gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth manage',
      'by dn.exact=cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com write',
      'by dn.exact=cn=replicator,dc=example,dc=com read',
      'by * break',
    ],
  },
  {
    'to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange' => [
      'by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write',
      'by self write',
      'by anonymous auth',
    ],
  },
  {
    'to *' => [
      'by self read',
    ],
  },
]


openldap::server::access_wrapper { 'dc=example,dc=com' :
  acl => $example_acl,
}

Configuring Schemas

openldap::server::schema { 'samba':
  ensure  => present,
  path    => '/etc/ldap/schema/samba.schema',
  require => Openldap::Server::Schema["inetorgperson"],
}

openldap::server::schema { 'nis':
  ensure  => present,
  path    => '/etc/ldap/schema/nis.ldif',
  require => Openldap::Server::Schema["inetorgperson"],
}

Configuring Rewrite-overlay

openldap::server::database { 'relay':
  ensure  => present,
  backend => 'relay',
  suffix  => 'o=example',
  relay   => 'dc=example,dc=com',
}->

openldap::server::overlay { "rwm on relay":
  ensure  => present,
  suffix  => 'cn=config',
  overlay => 'rwm',
  options => {
    'olcRwmRewrite' => [
      'rwm-rewriteEngine "on"',
      'rwm-suffixmassage , "dc=example,dc=com"]',
  },
}

Configuring Dbindex

# Configuration suffix
Openldap::Server::Dbindex {
  suffix => 'dc=example,dc=com',
}

# The module only sets "objectClass eq" by default
openldap::server::dbindex {
  'cn':
    attribute => 'cn',
    indices   => 'eq,pres,sub';
  'uid':
    attribute => 'uid',
    indices   => 'eq,pres,sub';
  'uidNumber':
    attribute => 'uidNumber',
    indices   => 'eq,pres';
  'gidNumber':
    attribute => 'gidNumber',
    indices   => 'eq,pres';
  'member':
    attribute => 'member',
    indices   => 'eq,pres';
  'memberUid':
    attribute => 'memberUid',
    indices   => 'eq,pres';
}
