Re: How to connect to LDAP server on Geronimo from an LDAP client?

[Hernan Cunico]

Hi Phani,
opening a JIRA will provide a way to keep track on this issue. You will have to register to *CREATE 
A NEW ISSUE*. Pls explain in detail the environment and problem and how to implement your workaround.


Here is the link for the JIRAs

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO

I'll keep playing with the password hashing as I am still not having consistent 
results.

Cheers!

Hi Hernan/Aaron
 
I developed a small application that uses pure programmatic security 
login, using Nescape Java LDAP SDK.
When I store password in MD5/SHA, I applied corresponding hashing on 
password sent by user and compared with the passoword retrieved from the 
LDAP server. To know how the password is stored in LDAP, we can check 
for prefix "{md5}" for MD5, and "{sha}" for SHA.

The following is the code snippet
 
 String   uname  = req.getParameter("userName");

 String   password   = req.getParameter("password");
 


 boolean loginSucceed = false;

   String hashMethod = "PLAIN";
   String hashedPassword = password;

   String ldapPassword = getLdapPassword(uname); //Retrieve password 
from LDAP for the user

   if(ldapPassword.startsWith("{md5}")){
hashMethod = "MD5";
   }else if(ldapPassword.startsWith ("{sha}")){
hashMethod = "SHA";
   }

   if(hashMethod.equals("SHA")){
hashedPassword = getSHAHashedPassword(password);
   }else if(hashMethod.equals("MD5")){
hashedPassword = getMD5HashedPassword(password);
   }

   
System.out.println("AuthenticateServlet:service:hashedPassword:"+hashedPassword);
   System.out.println("AuthenticateServlet:service:ldapPassword:"+ldapPassword);
   if(hashedPassword.equals (ldapPassword))loginSucceed=true;

.
 

So, with programmatic login, we can solve the problem. I guess hashing 
is not part of specification. With declarative security management, I 
guess, current application login implementation must consider MD5/SHA also.
 
If the above points are valid, we can have a JIRA on this..?

Hi Phani,
Can you export an LDIF so we can see your LDAP conf? I think the problem may be 
there.

So far I have been able to add new users and alter the groups with my other LDAP client. Jxplorer is 
giving me some problems while importing/updating from LDIFs.


Can you summarize the steps you do for adding the user?

Cheers!
Hernan

Re: How to connect to LDAP server on Geronimo from an LDAP client?

[Aaron Mulder]

I don't know much about LDAP, but...  Is password hashing part of the
standard?  Is there some way for our LDAP realm to figure out whether
the server expects a password in plain text or MD5 or SHA?  I know we
can send the hashed password, it's just a question of figuring out
which password method the LDAP server is expecting.  If nothing else,
we could add a configuration option for the password hashing
mechanism, but I would hope we could tell from the server's initial
challenge or something.

Thanks,
Aaron

Re: How to connect to LDAP server on Geronimo from an LDAP client?

[Phani Madgula]

Hi Hernan,
 
I am using AG1.0. I tried with other LDAP clients. 
I observed that, some clients store passwords in SHA, by deafult. 
The authentication is failing in either case [MD5 or SHA]

Hi Phani,
So far I am only getting this error while using Jxplorer. What other

I used Jxplorer LDAP client to create the new user users3. When I 
provide password in PLAIN format which uses BASE64 encoding through 
LDAP client, the application is authenticating successfully. When I 
store it in MD5, the authentication is failing for user3.
 
Any issue while using MD5 ?
 
thanks

Re: How to connect to LDAP server on Geronimo from an LDAP client?

[Phani Madgula]

Hi,
Thanks for help. I am currently porting an application on geronimo using Apache Directory Server Service..
I am facing a problem with passwords.
I have an application that uses LDAP authentication. I have an user in LDAP Server, lets say, "user3" with password "pass123".
We can store the passwords in LDAP server either in BASE64 encoding or in MD5 digest or in SHA. 
If I store password in BASE64 encoding, the application is authenticating successfully when I give correct userid/password as "user3"/"pass123".
When I store password in MD5, the authentication is failing with user3/pass123 as userid/password, eventhough they are correct as said above.
When I tried to investigate the problem, I found the following.LDAP server is storing the password as BASE64Encoding("{md5}"+BASE64Encoding(MD5("pass123"))). Here "pass123" is the password. 
MD5("pass123") is MD5 on "pass123".
So, when I send the password as "pass123", the LDAP server is not performing similar operation on this, as above, and compare it for authentication. I guess, the responsibility does not lie on programmer to perform similar operation and send it for authentication.

Is it a problem with LDAP server?Any comments on this?
 Thanks
