[389-users] Re: Enable SSHA hashing scheme

Hi Viktor,

thanks a lot for testing and finding that. I did not catch that.

Thanks for the support. I will try to use the recreated instance.

Kind regards,

Ralf

I don't see errors in your log.

I tried to reproduce your issue by copying /etc/dirsrv and /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-localhost from EL7 to EL9 and on startup I see in the logs:

# grep ERR /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-localhost/errors
[04/Jul/2024:07:49:42.546119501 -0400] - ERR - Security Initialization - SSL failure: NSS initialization failed (Netscape Portable Runtime error -8015 - The certificate/key database is in an old, unsupported format or failed to open.): certdir: /etc/dirsrv/slapd-localhost

And migrated user can't bind:

# ldapsearch -xLLL ldap://localhost -D cn=user,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com -w password -b "cn=user,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" dn
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

After I removed /etc/dirsrv/slapd-localhost/{cert8.db,key3.db,secmod.db}, and started the server again, NSS was initialized successfully. And the user was able to bind:

# ldapsearch -xLLL ldap://localhost -D cn=user,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com -w password -b "cn=user,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" dn
dn: cn=user,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com

Having said that, I still recommend recreating the instance from scratch when migrating from one major version to another.

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Ralf

Hi Viktor,

I do not see any errors. I attached the log but nothing stands out to me.

I don't see the log attached, could you please send it again? 

It was not a fresh instance but the migrated instance.

Then I removed the database:

dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W ldap://localhost backend delete spenneberg_net --do-it

Deleting Backend cn=spenneberg_net,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config :
Type 'Yes I am sure' to continue: Yes I am sure
The database, and any sub-suffixes, were successfully deleted

Please try on a fresh instance, not just the database. In the documentation we warn that the old dse.ldif should not be used. 

Thanks.

Recreated it:

dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W ldap://localhost backend create --suffix="dc=spenneberg,dc=net" --be-name=spenneberg_net
The database was sucessfully created

Did the import again:
dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" -Wi ldap://localhost backend import dc=spenneberg,dc=net /userRoot.ldif
The import task has finished successfully

If I try to authenticate again, it does not work:

ldapsearch -h localhost -x -b dc=spenneberg,dc=net -D "uid=kolab-service,ou=Special Users,dc=spenneberg,dc=net" -W
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

The user has a SSHA password:

{SSHA}+4ZcRhy2/7h5Du5x/1MO....

If I check the password, pwdhash states OK:

pwdhash -c {SSHA}+4ZcRhy2/7h5Du5x/1MO... qcG...
pwdhash: password ok.

If I reset the password using ldapmodify

dn: uid=kolab-service,ou=Special Users,dc=spenneberg,dc=net
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: qcG...

Now the user may access the tree again. I do not know, why the SSHA passwords are not honored.

Any ideas?

KInd regards,

Ralf

Hi Viktor,

thanks a lot for the suggestion.

So I did an export of the old tree running on 1.3.11 using db2dif:

db2ldif -s "dc=xxx,dc=net" -a /tmp/userRoot.ldif

And I did an import in the new tree running on 2.4:

Is it a fresh instance or migrated from the old install? 

dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W ldap://localhost backend import dc=...,dc=net /userRoot.ldif

The import task has finished successfully

Do you see any errors in the errors log in /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-your_instance/errors related to import or NSS? 

Directly afterwards the passwords stopped working again. I had to reset them again. Is there any additional step required?

It should work, I did a quick test with export/import and SSHA passwords and the migrated users are able to bind with the old password. 

Please check the documentation:

https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_directory_server/12/html/installing_red_hat_directory_server/assembly_migrating-directory-server-10-to-directory-server-12_installing-rhds#proc_migrating-directory-server-10-to-version-12-using-the-replication-method_assembly_migrating-directory-server-10-to-directory-server-12

Thanks.

Actually I just upgrade the system from centos7 to almalinux9 using elevate. Essentially this is similar to a copy of the /etc/dirsrv and /var/lib/dirsrv directories and started the new ldapserver. 

We don't support or test in-place upgrades (leapp/elevate) and recommend using export/import or replication methods.

Directly afterwards I was not able to login using the cn=Directory Manager. I checked the hashed password in the dse.ldif  file (cn=config) using pwdhash. It was ok. 

Once I changed the password of the directory manager in the dse.ldif file after stopping the 389ds using PBKDF2-SHA512 hash, the Directory Manager was able to login. Other users required a reset of their password as well for successful login. But since I do not have access to all passwords I would rather reuse the old tree.

The nsslapd-allow-hashed-passwords is set to on.

Therefore I doubt that I have double hashed passwords. For the case of the Directory Manager I am positive.

And yes, dsconf lists SSHA in my case as well. Any ideas why this is not working?

Do you see any errors regarding NSS in the errors log?

NSS in EL7 was using an old datbase format, and if you just copied it to EL9, it's very likely to fail initialization. 

My passwordpolicy is quite open:

Hi there,
I am trying to update a ldap tree from 389ds 1.3.11 (centos7) to 2.4.5 (almalinux9). After migrating the tree all passwords stop working including the Directory Manager. The old tree used SSHA. Setting the rootpwstoragescheme does not help for the Directory Manager. Only manually resetting the passwords using pwdhash in the dse.ldif file and using a PBKDF2-SHA512 password works. Is there a way to enable the old SSHA scheme?

SSHA is still supported in the latest 389-DS:
# dsconf localhost pwpolicy list-schemes | grep SSHA
SSHA
SSHA256
SSHA384
SSHA512

How did you perform the migration? Via replication or export/import?

What is the value of nsslapd-allow-hashed-passwords in cn=config?

I suspect that your passwords after the migration might be doubly hashed instead of imported as is.

 

Kind regards,
Ralf
