Error in authentication with ldap server with certificate

Hi,
i have a problem in authentication with ldap server with certificate.
here i am using java API to authenticate.
Caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: timestamp check failed.
I issued the new certificate which is having the up to 5 years valid time.
is java will authenticate up to one year only?
Can any body help on this issue...
Regards
Ranga

sorry i am gettting ythe same error
javax.naming.CommunicationException: simple bind failed: servername:636 exception is javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: timestamp check failed]
here when i am using the old certificate and changing the system date means i can get the authentication.
can you tell where we can concentrate and solve the issue..
where is the issue
1. need to check with the ldap server only
2. problem in java code only.
thanks in advance

EDSPermissionError(-14120) problems with LDAP, SSL and Directory Utility

Hello everyone,
Apologies for the repost but I think I may have made a mistake by posting this originally in the Installation, Setup and Migration forum instead of the Open Directory forum. At least I think that may be why I didn't receive any responses.
Anyway, I've been trying to get my head around Open Directory and SSL as they are implemented in Mac OS X Server 10.5 Leopard, and have been having a few issues. I would like to set up a secure internal infrastructure based around a local Certificate Authority that signs certificates for other internal services like LDAP, email, websites, etc.
I only have one Mac OS X Server and it is kind of a small office so I have gone against best practice and simply made it a CA (through Keychain Utility). I then generated a self-signed SSL certificate through Server Admin, and used the "Generate CSR" option to create a Certificate Signing Request. This went fine, but I did have some problems signing it with the CA, because the server documentation suggested that once I signed it it would pop open a Mail message containing the ASCII version of the signed certificate - it did not, and it took me a loooong time to realize that I could simply export the copy of the signed certificate it put in my local Keychain on the server as a PEM file and paste this back into the "Add Signed or Renewed Certificate from Certificate Authority" dialog box in Server Admin. Hopefully this can be fixed in a forthcoming patch, but I thought I would mention it here in case anyone else is stuck on this issue.
Once I did this I was able to use this certificate in the web server on the same machine and sure enough I was able to connect to it with with clients who had installed the CA certificate in their system Keychains without getting any error messages - very cool.
However, I haven't had quite as much luck getting it going with LDAP/Open Directory. I installed the certificate there as well, but have run into a number of problems. At first I could not get clients (also running 10.5.2) to talk to the server at all over SSL, receiving an error in Directory Utility that the server did not support SSL. I eventually discovered that the problem seemed to lie in the fact that the OpenLDAP implementation on Leopard is not tied in with the system Keychain, necessitating some command-line voodoo to install a copy of the CA cert in a local directory and point /etc/openldap/ldap.conf at it, as documented here: http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20071203011158936
This allowed me to do an ldapsearch command over SSL, and seemingly turn SSL on on clients that were previously bound to the directory, and additionally allowed me to run Directory Utility on new clients and put in the server name with the SSL box checked and begin to go through the process of binding. Once this seemed to work, I turned off all plaintext LDAP communication and locked down the service by checking the "Enable authenticated directory binding," "Require authenticated binding," "Disable clear text passwords," and "Encrypt all packets" options in Server Admin. However, I am now running into a new problem, specifically that I cannot successfully bind a local account to a directory account over SSL.
Here's what happens:
1) I run Directory Utility, (or it auto-runs) and add a server, typing in the DNS name and clicking the SSL box.
2) I get asked to authenticate, and type in user credentials, including computer name (incidentally, should this be a FQDN or just a hostname?)
3) Provided I put admin credentials in here and not user-level credentials, I get taken to the "Do you want to set up Mail, VPN, etc.?" box that normally appears when you autodiscover or connect to an Open Directory server.
4) I click through, and am asked for a username and password on the server, as well as the password for my local account.
5) When I put this information in, I get a popup with the dreaded "eDSPermissionError(-14120)" and it fails.
Checking the logs in Server Admin reveals nothing special, and while I have seen a couple other threads on this error and various other binding problems:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5967023
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5982070
these have not solved the problem. In the Open Directory user name field I am putting the short username. I have tried putting [email protected] and the user's longname but this fails by saying the account does not exist. For some reason it does seem to work if I bind it to the initial admin account I created, but no other user accounts.
If I turn all the encryption stuff off I am able to join just fine, so I am suspecting that the error may lie in some other "under the hood" piece of software that doesn't get the CA trust settings from the Keychain or the ldap.conf file, but I'm stymied as to which piece of software this might be. Does anyone have any clues on what I might be able to do here?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hard to tell what is happening without looking at the application
source, knowing what OS & hardware you're using etc. You might want to
try running with different JVM versions to see if it's actually the VM
that is the problem. If you have a support contract with BEA you could
ask support to help you diagnose this.

LDAP Binding issue.

Hi,
I've been testing out the novell ldap library against an openldap
server and found an issue with the binding.
When I try to do the following (c#):
Code:
string password = "MyPass"
LdapConnection conn = new LdapConnection();
conn.Connect("ldap", 389);
conn.Bind("uid="michael",ou=people,o=myfirm", password + "test"); // should not authenticate as I add test to the password string.
This seems to authenticate me all fine and don't give me a ldap
exception that I get if "MyPass" is wrong. So as long as the password is
correct I can add whatever chars to the end and it will still
authenticate.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
Regards,
Michael.

Integrating Hyperion Shared services with LDAP

Hi All,
I have a quick question regarding managing LDAP users using Shared services. I was able to create connection with LDAP using "anonymous bind" but now when I try to see the LDAP users in Shared services , it says no records. How can I see the records ?
Please help.

Suggest you talk to your IT people who setup that specific id. Tell them you need the Distinguished Name (DN) of that user -- usually they will have the user placed in a set of containers which may be several levels deep depending on how they organize the directory.
If you were using Active Directory rather than LDAP you could use AD Explorer to locate the user and you can find the DN yourself. AD Explorer is available at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963907

Heimdal with LDAP backend?

Has anyone gotten the LDAP backend for Heimdal to work? I've recompiled Heimdal with ldap backend support, and I have LDAP all set up, but no matter what I do, when I run kadmin to init the realm, I get this:
[arew264@Reno src]$ sudo kadmin -l
kadmin> init LINUXLAB.FHS
kadmin: hdb_open: ldap_sasl_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server
From what I've read, Heimdal connects to LDAP through the unix socket that LDAP creates when you start it with the option "-h ldapi://", but if I start it with this option, it crashes with a file not found error. I think it's trying to create a socket in the directory where it was built because it outputs this:
[arew264@Reno slapd]$ sudo /usr/sbin/slapd -h ldapi:// -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -d 1023
@(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.3.40 (Jan 17 2008 23:58:45) $
nobody@tygra:/build/src/openldap-2.3.40/servers/slapd

daemon: bind(7) failed errno=2 (No such file or directory)
slap_open_listener: failed on ldapi://
slapd stopped.
connections_destroy: nothing to destroy.
[arew264@Reno slapd]$
That nobody@tygra line... that must be from the package maintainer's computer because, as you can see, my box is named Reno.

I answered my own question. Appending LDAPI:// to the server list tells OpenLDAP to create a unix socket at... /var/lib/openldap/run/ldapi. Apparantly it's a strange side effect of the configure options that TomK used.

You don't need to know the LDAP hash at all to do a bind and user password check. That's against security - why would a administrator let anyone know what hashing he uses - thats letting an important piece of your security out (even though thesemodern hashes are pretty much ir-reversible)
All you need is use Sun JNDI code to do a bind , use authentication method Simple and then gives user's id and password in clear-text. Directory server will itself take care of converting clear text password passed by you and comparing it with hashed user password in LDAP.
From your code perspective if you get a DirContext back - your bind was successful otherwise you will get a NamingEnumeration exception.
try reading through DirContext InitialDirContext ... just do a random search and you should get numerous helper code over internet.

where cert file name is the filename with complete path.the file is a CA certificate of the LDAP server

Problem with LDAP in BEA Portal

Problem with LDAP in BEA Portal
I have a list of 50 user which should be cerated in portal staging(devlopment) machine and should be transfered to
production machine using LDAP
Steps which i followed to create Users
1.Create User Profile with 2 parameters branch and Role
2.I have list user in the Xls file with Username,password ,branch and Role
3.Write a java File which will read the Xls File
4.The users are created in the staging machine for the portal
Steps which i followed in LDAP to tranfer the created User form Devlopment to Production
1.Export the created user from Devlopment (which was moved as .DAT in my local directory)
2.import the user from local direcory to production machine
The Users are imported in the production machine with username and password but the role and branch values are empty
We need a solution for importing the user with role and branch corresponding to each user.
Thanks in Adv

In Portal 8.1, user name and password in stored in LDAP where as user profile values are stored in database. That is the reason you are not able to see the user profile values.
Check once again whether you can see these values through admin tool. In case,it is not(after confirmation again),you might have to use APIs to do this for you incase you dont want to manage through Admin Tool.

Is there a way to create SQL Dev reports with validated binds?

Is there a way to create SQL Dev reports with validated binds similar to the way user defined extensions can have <prompts> with a <value> that is a SQL statement returning a list of possible values?
This sure would make select appropriate values for binds in reports easier and less error prone.

Maybe a forum search on "Windows registry" would turn up some useful things. You're not the first to ask this. You might save yourself and everyone else some time if you'd simply do that.

Problem with users in portal - login conflict with LDAP.

Hi.
Let me describe our problem:
We've a EP5 portal with LDAP conected to a central LDAP server, users access with the same user and password to all the different systems.
The problem happens to users who have theyr passwords expired. We already set to 0 the password expiration days to avoid future problems but that didn't applied to the already expired ones.
This affected users cannot change the password due to problems with the connection rights to LDAP server.
We're trying to find the place there it's set that the user is in some kind of "password expired" status, directly in a database table if neccesary, to change the status manually, as system does not allow os to set it by user administration in portal.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Policy agent 2.2 amfilter local authentication with session binding failed

Hi All,
I have policy agent 2.2 for weblogic 8.1 sp4 installed on redhat linux. All are working fine in my development box. But I was running all the process under user root, so today I decided to change it to a regular user, joe. I changed all the files' owner for weblogic server and policy agent from root to joe, and restart server as user Joe. After the change, I can not access the application on Weblogic server. I changed file ownership back to root and restart weblogic server as root, still same error.
Here is the error I got:
10.4.4 403 Forbidden
The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable.
Here is the error I found from agent log file, amFilter:

Issue with LDAP login authentication in CMC console

We have a existing issues with Business Objects BOE XIR2 SP2 and LDAP authentication with the BOE CMC Console.
We use websphere as the application server and it is installed on the same machine (Solaris) as BOE.
We have this issue on both our production and our recently rebuilt development environment to duplicate the issue.
Both environment have configured LDAP over SSL and we can login to BOE Infoview Reports with LDAP and we can map groups and users if we login to CMC but we can not login to CMC with secLDAP.
The specific error still being shown is "Security plugin error: Failed to set parameters on plugin".
Both environments (DEV and PROD) are fresh installs of BOE XIR2 SP2.
Any ideas are much appreciated
Thankyou

The CMC in XIR2 used com components for the SSL (rather than java like infoview) and I'm betting the WAS deployment is not finding them. Is WAS on a seperate server or is BOE installed there as well?
I'm not familiar with any regular fixes for an issue like this. If no other replies I'd recommend opening a case with either deployment(WAS on "nix") or authentication(WAS on windows) to see if they can trace down the problem.
Regards,
Tim
