Moreover, as stated in this mail (subject: "openldap client GSSAPI authentication segfaults in fbsd8stable i386"), which I have copied in this email along with one correction after this paragraph, the problem seems to be with gss_release_buffer () from /usr/lib/libgssapi.so.10. Please read my comment and little "hack" we tried over this function, on the end of the aforementioned email, I think it will help. Thank you all for your help, once more. "Dear all, I am facing many instabilities in FBSD8 with openldap-client and sasl authentication (GSSAPI in particular). I have setup an openldap 2.4.1 server with gssapi support (through cyrus-sasl-2.1.23) on a fbsd8-stable amd64 latest sources, in a esxi host. In the same host I have setup two fbsd8-stable i386 clients; one has latest sources, the other one is installed via the iso-image of January's fbsd snapshot; on both systems openldap client and sasl is installed (all ldap/cyrus versions on all hosts mentioned in this email are the same). My laptop has fbsd8-i386 stable (sources 25 January 2010), and on my laptop I have setup an fbsd8-stable i386 (snapshot iso image) on a virtualbox client. Lastly, on the esxi host I have setup another fbsd8-stable amd64 system, to act as an ldap client (latest sources). To summarize, and put a label-number on each host, we have: 1 - esxi: fbsd8(latest) amd64 openldap server 2 - esxi: fbsd8(latest) i386 openldap client 3 - esxi: fbsd8(snapshot) i386 openldap client 4 - esxi: fbsd8(latest) amd64 openldap client 5 - laptop: fbsd8(jan 25) i386 openldap client 6 - laptop/vbox: fbsd8(snapshot) i386 openldap client The openldap server is installed in a jail, and the client is tested in the same jail. Kerberos works on all machines (same /etc/krb5.conf), and ldap as well. In all machines, line 96 of /usr/bin/krb5-config is changed to read: lib_flags="$lib_flags -lgssapi -lgssapi_spnego -lgssapi_krb5 -lheimntlm" instead of: lib_flags="$lib_flags -lgssapi -lheimntlm" which was the default, since without these lines I couldn't get gssapi authentication to work for cyrus (and spnego). This change was made after recommendations given from this very mailing list, and I was very happy to see that the ldap server worked as I expected. On all system, cat /usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.conf: BASE dc=ee,dc=auth,dc=gr URI ldap://ldap.ee.auth.gr SASL_MECH GSSAPI without kiniting in any client I get the following outcomes when I give ldapwhoami (with no arguments): 1: SASL/GSSAPI authentication started ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Local error (-2) additional info: SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (see text) (unknown mech-code 2 for mech unknown) which is expected. 2: SASL/GSSAPI authentication started Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped) which is not rational at all 3: SASL/GSSAPI authentication started Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped) 4: SASL/GSSAPI authentication started ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Local error (-2) additional info: SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (see text) (unknown mech-code 2 for mech unknown) which is the same as 1 (as expected) 5: SASL/GSSAPI authentication started Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped) 6: SASL/GSSAPI authentication started Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped) if I kinit to mamalos, ldapwhoami returns: 1: SASL/GSSAPI authentication started SASL username: mamalos_at_EE.AUTH.GR SASL SSF: 56 SASL data security layer installed. dn:uid=mamalos,ou=people,dc=ee,dc=auth,dc=gr which is super! 2: SASL/GSSAPI authentication started Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped) which is dramatic. 3: SASL/GSSAPI authentication started Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped) 4: SASL/GSSAPI authentication started ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Local error (-2) additional info: SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (see text) (unknown mech-code 2529638919 for mech unknown) which is very strange, since mech-code seems unnaturally large. 5: SASL/GSSAPI authentication started SASL username: mamalos_at_EE.AUTH.GR SASL SSF: 56 SASL data security layer installed. dn:uid=mamalos,ou=people,dc=ee,dc=auth,dc=gr which is super, but without kinit the same command segfaulted on this machine 6: SASL/GSSAPI authentication started SASL username: mamalos_at_EE.AUTH.GR SASL SSF: 56 SASL data security layer installed. dn:uid=mamalos,ou=people,dc=ee,dc=auth,dc=gr which is the exact same behavior as 5 above.

I built openldap and cyrus-sasl on this machine from sources (not ports), and (after a long time of trying to find out how to run configure successfully in both installations) the outcome was exactly the same (meaning segfaults). So, one of my admins wrote a c program that overrides gss_release_buffer returning always 0 (what is expected after normal operation) and compiled it as a library. The program code is nothing more than just: int gss_release_buffer(void *a, void *b) { return 0; } we ld_preloaded the library, and when we ran ldapwhoami the outcome was: SASL/GSSAPI authentication started ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Local error (-2) additional info: SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (see text) (unknown mech-code 2529638919 for mech unknown) When we ran it with no kerberos tickets, we got: SASL/GSSAPI authentication started ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Local error (-2) additional info: SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (see text) (unknown mech-code 2 for mech unknown) The exact same errors as the aforementioned client 4 (esxi, amd64)!!!!!!!!!!!!! What on earth is happening?!?!!?!?! Now one can easily see that there is a definite problem regarding memory freeing, and after overcoming that the mech-code 2529638919 implies that some segment in memory is overwritten by some "random" value, so mech-code returns the number 2529638919 instead of a number of marginality 1. What is more definite, is that openldap doesn't work out-of-the-box if gssapi support is required, and behaves randomly in different architectures/virtualHosts/platforms. The problem may have been something related to line 96 in /usr/bin/krb5-config... I don't know. What is sure, is that I am having second thoughts on using fbsd as my openldap/heimdal server for my setup, which would be quite disappointing for me, since I am using fbsd for the last many-many years, on all my laptops and servers. The only "good part" is that the only machine that works seamlessly (until now, at least) is the heimdal/ldap server. Thank you all in advance and I hope that we will find an answer to all this."

This problem has been resolved. I had an issue with my /etc/hosts file, where the name of the ldap server could not be resolved correctly (via the gssapi library I assume), and openldap client gave me this reply (both ldap server and heimdal server had the same IP (two jails on the same host)). After changing the order in which the host and its IP appeared in /etc/hosts the problem stopped (which is still strange, since ldapwhoami -D 'blabla' -W worked ok, even with the old /etc/hosts). " I still believe that the aforementioned behavior on the amd64 build is still not the one to be expected, something must be overriden if the client won't get the result it expects from the kdc. -- George Mamalakis IT Officer Electrical and Computer Engineer (Aristotle Un. of Thessaloniki), MSc (Imperial College of London) Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty of Engineering Aristotle University of Thessaloniki phone number : +30 (2310) 994379Received on Thu Feb 25 2010 - 10:57:25 UTC
