Libnss-ldap And Host Resolution
Aug 30, 2007
I end up working on about 5-6 different desktops regularly. I shorthand most of my servers in /etc/hosts so rather than typing www13.domain.com I shorthand it to www13. So rather than try to maintain each of these 5-6 hosts db's (and rather than setting up something more elaborate), I decided to take one of my personal ldap servers, added ou=Hosts,dc=domain,dc=com, and set it up as an ipHost objectclass (with the machine name being the cn, and the IP being ipHostNumber). I then installed libnss-ldap and the ldap client on my machine, editing /etc/ldap.conf by adding the base and uri, /etc/libnss-ldap.conf adding the base, ldap_version, uri, and setting nss_base_hosts to ou=Hosts,dc=domain,dc=com. I then edited /etc/nsswitch.conf and set my hosts: record to include ldap at the end.
When I do getent hosts, the hosts are listed as they should be (ip machinename). However, when I try to ping or resolve any of the machine names, it fails.
getent hosts|grep testldap
24.62.234.23 testldap
ping testldap
ping: unknown host testldap

Do you consider resolution time guarantee when choosing a host?
What resolution time guarantee does your host offer?
Is one hour resolution ok?
This is what webhostgiant.com offer as their support resolution time.

I have couple of clients using web hosting services for their .in domains. Half of them time it resolves and half of the time it does not. I went to the office of the client and took traceroute / ping reports to main IP + DNS and it resolved fine without any issue BUT the sites does not resolve.
Sometimes it resolves with www but does not work without it and sometimes it works WITHOUT www and does not work with www.
I talked with the Data center and as I guessed they were unable to trace the problem as both resolved fine @ their end and network was also fine.
What can be the problem?
If its .in registry issue then howcome other .in domains works fine @ those PCs but those hosted @ my server.

What is the best way to reduce the delay in DNS resolution for vistors to our hosted domains?
- Using multiple servers that spread across different geographic locations?
- Writing a script that contacts major DNS servers and queries our domains, so that they keep this
info in their cache?

Is there a club for hosting companies to belong to that might seek to arbirate when there's a dispute ? The company (in USA) hosting my sites has decided to withdraw support. They say I was wasting their time; I say they were avoiding addressing the problem. I don't want to stay with a company that throws a fit if you criticise them, so it's time to move on. But they have been paid to host my sites, so I reckon I'm due a refund. They are ignoring my e-mails. The sum involved is small, it's just the principal really.

I'm trying to setup a PDC Login server with SAMBA+LDAP (in separate servers).
How can I test if SAMBA is trying to login properly into the LDAP server?

I'm struggling hard to integrate a group of windows boxes to authenticate with a Linux samba/ldap server (with personal mapped drives as well).
I get stuck in this error:

I've been searching for a way to add custom attributes into an LDAP schema. At first I didn't know if it was possible, but I guess it is. What I can't seem to find out now, is how to add them? Do I have to make a custom schema & upload it? How do I go about adding these fields? This all stems from me using other attributes for different functions, ie ( I'm using the employeeNumber field to determine if someone is allowed internet access. What I would like to do is make an attribute called inetAccess and use that instead.)
I'm using OpenLDAP on a Linux OS (SuSE). Anyone have any experience in adding custom attributes, or custom schemas? Or can anyone direct me to where I would find the answers?

I have Apache 2.2.17 running on Windows 7. I'm using PHP to query a Windows 2008 LDAP server. Everything works ok until I try to use LDAPS. Many of the resources I can find refer to a ldap.conf file and the certificates being the main problem. I don't have an ldap.conf file anywhere, so I put all of the relevant lines in the httpd.conf.
I'm getting from the 2008 AD server. I haven't found any tutorial that covers it with an implementation in Apache on Windows. Many tutorials cover using LDAP to authenticate to the site, but I need to use it for queries. I used the procedure at URL... to get the certificate installed and exported. But I don't know a way to confirm that it's using the cert I think it is for LDAPS. All LDAPS tests work (LDP.EXE from Windows).

Recently ive gone through lot's of providers, and my latest one computhings.co.uk (was recommended) has recently lost support (their license expired) and my domain is having problems!
I tried a tracert to track the problem and i get an error in resolving the domain name. My DNS servers are set to where they should be, and i can get to the servers via a web browser (ns1/ns2) but when accessing my domain i get a server not found.
Is this my fault or their fault? As if its mine i will hang on and if its theirs im moving servers today!

I have some questions about the LDAP authentication module.I have a LDAP authentication with this config:
<AuthnProviderAlias ldap ldap-account>
AuthLDAPBindDN "CN=directory search,OU=Service-User,DC=company,DC=ch"
AuthLDAPBindPassword "xxxxx"
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://ldap.company.ch/ou=Users,dc=company,dc=ch?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=*)"
</AuthnProviderAlias>
If a User logs in with username only, all works correct. If a user use the DomainUsername format, the login is rejected with "user not found".Should it not work with both login styles ? Or is there a option to reformat or rewrite the username before authentication without the "Domain part ?

Is this simple authentication or SASL Digest MD5, ..)?
we are able to specify only the 'authbasicprovider ldap' ldap url, bind username and password in the apache httpd configuration file.
Can LDAP SASL (Digest MD5, GSSAPI,…) mechanism be specified in the Apache configuration during authentication?
If so, how to specify the LDAP SASL mechanism?

I am running apache currently on my QNAP server, and have enabled webserver and LDAP. We have set up users on LDAP. I have created a landing page for access from the internet. I want to configure Apache to authenticate the users using LDAP before granting access to the landing directory.
I have started this with the apache configuration below: My apache config file -
Code:
LogLevel debug
CustomLog "logs/access_log" combined
ErrorLog "logs/error_log"
LoadModule ldap_module modules/mod_ldap.so
LoadModule authnz_ldap_module modules/mod_authnz_ldap.so
ServerName MyServer
LDAPTrustedMode NONE
LDAPVerifyServerCert Off
[Code] ....
When I access my page, I get the authentication prompt. But when I enter my LDAP login and password, I get thrown out of the system with the error:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, admin@NAS and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Looks like my apache configuration is a problem as I am able access my LDAP and everything with LDAP seems to be working fine except Apache configuration to authenticate against LDAP.

We have a website running on Apache ver 2.2.3.
A couple of directories on the website need authentication against LDAP. The setup has been working for many years and all of a sudden is giving some issues.
The page asks for authentication and once login details are entered, either it throws an error "Page has moved" or "Please refresh your browser or reload the page".
As far as I am aware no configuration has been changed for LDAP or for Apache. The website runs on Windows Server 2003.
I am very much new to Apache and cannot seem to find any errors logged.

We first noticed the issue on July 19th, Backups were taking a while to transfer from our own servers, and we were getting tickets from clients asking why this was happening. At the same time, it took about 4-5 minutes to log into the backup console. Issue seemed to correct itself so that backups were possible, and we assumed that scott would be aware of it and would work to resolve it.
Again on the 29th it slowed completely again. We immediately dispatched an email to their support email asking whats up, gave them detailed information such as access to the script and the output so he could monitor it.
The same day a few hours later we got a response that he would run the script and monitor it.
On the 31st, after not getting an update I asked what was going on. He said he ran the script, it seemed to stall for long periods of time and he would know more in the afternoon.
After not getting an update for ~5 days I asked what was going on and I expressed that i was not happy with the lack of communication/updates ont he situation. He updated me later that day saying that we weren't the only ones being affected. Fair enough, he is working on it. Thats all I wanted to hear.
Now ever since that email I received on the 5th (AUG) it has been up and down and all over the place.
After seeing him post on the forums I sent him a PM (10th August), summed up it was basically saying I had an issue, and I need it fixed. I figured since the PM system is usually pretty good at not losing them that he would see it and respond accordingly, that way there was no chance of it being lost from point A to point B as an email.
Well to this day, no response nor resolution.
I really have exhausted all points of communication, and I want to make it clear that I am not bashing them, when it works it's great. But maybe someone else affected can provide more insight..

Im having a problem where local authentication will not work when when the configured LDAP server is unavailble. When the ldap server is online I can authenticate fine against ldap and local file. However, when the ldap server is offline, I cannot authenticate with the user1 account. The browser just sits at a blank screen.
Ive searched a lot on this and found many examples, all very similar to my config below, but I still cannot failback authentication to local file when ldap is unavailable. Im running Apache/2.2.10. I have also tested this on 2.2.16 with the same results.
=======.htaccess==========================
AuthName "Server Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider file ldap
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/htpasswd
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
AuthLDAPURL ldap://ldap.domain.com:389/OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com?sAMAccountName

I have a class project that we are working on where we have to configure and implement an Apache server with ssl using ldap for authentication. I have documentation of literally everything I have done in the configuration. Everything seems to be fine with the config that I can tell. The client gets a prompt for username and password when they access the server ip address. However, once the correct username and password are entered, then the client receives a 500 internal server error message instead of the webpage: "Internal Server Error...The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

I'm configuring a website for a client who has moved their web hosting to downtownhost, but is keeping their email hosting with their current provider. They do not want to configure an MX entry on DTH to autoforward email back to their current provider because they don't want their email to pass through DTH.
In order to do this, do I keep the nameserver entries on the current provider the same, and configure an http redirect to point to DTH? Or is there something else I should configure on the current provider?

I'm wondering if you can tell me something about your experience with a host/server in a different country or overseas.
My webpage will be mostly frequented by Australians.
What do you think is the advantage and the disadvantage of having a host in your own country and having one overseas?
I'm thinking about stability, traffic speed, peak hours in different time zones, customer service, ....
What are your experiences?

I was with Blue Host and their support and service was pretty bad. Servers going down all the time, and chat support was terrible. Then I moved to Host Monster and received the same kind of service/support. I later then figured out that Blue Host and Host Monster is runned by the same people. For example, I opened up a tech support ticket with Host Monster and then they replied signing their signature with Blue Host. So I got the same service: terrible tech support and servers kept going down. Now I'm looking for a new web hosting. I a few people here gave Host Gator some good reviews. I hope Host Gator is not run be the same people that runs Blue Host and Host Monster.

Does anyone have a preference for Host Excellence compared to Blue Host?
Do you think their basic offers are the same?
This is for just a couple of simple domains and sites to be hosted.

with this being my first website goddady's website tonight or there blog site plan seem pretty good as I do not know how to build a professional looking website nor do I have a knowledge of HTML. Are there other hosts that offer better services such as these?
Also I would want to register with 1&1 as to register privately is free but with godaddy it costs around $15 and I've heard of godaddy stealing persons domains when they haven't even expired yet i.e. familyAlbum.com?
Is it allowed for instance to register my domain name with 1&1 and host my site with godaddy?

If you had to chose either Host Gator or Hawk Host which would you go with and why? Don't bring any other hosts into consideration just compare these two. This would be for a standard website, forum, and a few downloads if it makes a difference...nothing too fancy.

I have just made a personal website using photoshop, html, css and php. My site contains an index page, a gallery page with 8 photos, a contact page with a form and an extra page with some quotes. I am planning to use a paid host for the first time. Based on feedbacks from some of my sitepoint friends, I decided to go in for shared hosting. I thought of using Hostdogs.com as they have the option of a monthly billing cycle. I thought that I have the option of changing my host after a month if I am not happy with them. I have also read a lot about Hostgator.com. A lot of sitepoint members seem hooked to it.
1. Can anyone give an opinion as to which host I should go in for? Hostdogs also give a free domain. Is there any reason I should go in for Hostgator instead of Hostdogs?
2. One more question, I have heard that once I have a site running, I can earn money through the advertisements placed on it? How do I place advertisements on my site?
3. One last and very important question is whether it is right to go in for shared hosting at this point of time. I just read this
Quote:
When you look for a suitable host, be sure to check out the amount of bandwidth that will be available to your site. Even a site that doesn't require a great deal of data transfer per month could run slowly if you're hosted on a shared server; particularly if you are on the same server as a more popular or bandwidth-intensive site.
The more sites hosted on a server, the more likely they are to compete with each other for available resources, including bandwidth. This is why you may notice a reduction in server response times during busy periods, or during a sudden peak in traffic at a busier site on a server that you share.
This made me wonder whether I should go in for shared hosting. But then mine is a personal home page which may not have so much of traffic.
4. What does the paragraph below mean? How does one handle ones registration manually?
Self-Management (no cost)
Select this option if you prefer to handle your registration manually.Your web host can establish service with any Top-Level Domain (TLD), international or domestic.
