6 LDAP overview Understanding the LDAP structure LDAP overview While some background information is provided for understanding basic concepts, this guide does not provide instructions for implementing either LDAP or Windows Active Directory. The information in this guide assumes the Active Directory server is already in place and is being managed by either an Active Directory administrator or by an LDAP administrator. Examples shown in this appendix use Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) V.6.X. LDAP, or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is a lightweight alternative to the X.500 Directory Access Protocol (DAP). LDAP uses the TCP/IP protocol stack instead of the OSI protocol stack that is required by X.500. As a lightweight alternative, LDAP simplifies some operations, but lacks support for some of the features of X.500 DAP. LDAP is the protocol that is used between a directory client and a server. LDAP defines the content of messages exchanged between an LDAP client and an LDAP server. The LDAP client, in this case the DocuShare server, communicates to the LDAP server. The LDAP server, acting as a gateway, accesses the LDAP directory. The LDAP directory may be implemented either as a stand-alone on the LDAP server or as a directory on an X.500 server. DocuShare submits directory content queries to the LDAP server. The LDAP server accesses the directory, either LDAP or X.500, and returns the results to DocuShare. The LDAP protocol allows for read and for update client operations on the directory data. NOTE: DocuShare does not update LDAP directory data. DocuShare only reads the results of the queries that it sends to the LDAP server. 1 2 Release 4.0

7 Understanding the LDAP structure LDAP structure LDAP structure Entries within an LDAP directory are organized in a specific hierarchical structure. Directories A directory is a special type of database. Directories are optimized to support a high volume of read requests along with write access that is generally limited to system administrators. Similar to the white pages of a telephone book, an LDAP directory is read more times than it is updated. Just as a telephone book lists individuals, companies, and organizations, an LDAP directory lists objects such as users, servers, and printers. In the same way that a telephone book contains information about each listing, such as name, number, and address, the entries in the LDAP directory contain pertinent information about each object. This object information is referred to as attributes. Attributes Each object entry within an LDAP directory contains one or more attributes. Each attribute is comprised of a type and a value. A telephone book entry has attributes such as the name of a person and a corresponding telephone number. LDAP attributes appear in the format of commonname=jane Smith telephonenumber= Table 1 1 lists some common LDAP attributes, along with the alias associated with the attribute. Table 1 1: LDAP Attribute Attribute Alias Description of Attribute Example commonname cn Common name of an entry Jane Doe Surname sn Last name of the person Doe userid uid User ID or login name jdoe telephonenumber - Telephone number origanizationalunitname ou Name of organizational unit my department organization o Name of organization my company domaincomponent dc DNS component xyz.com Relative Distinguished Name The Relative Distinguished Name, or RDN, is represented in the form of an attribute data pair (type and value), such as: cn=jane Doe uid=smith ou=marketing dc=xerox DocuShare LDAP/Active Directory Guide 1 3

8 LDAP structure Understanding the LDAP structure Distinguished Name Entries in the directory are organized by a Distinguished Name (DN). Distinguished Name is similar to the absolute path to a file in the Windows file system. The DN of an object is made up of the name and the location of the entry within the directory. A DN is made up of RDN attribute data pairs, separated by commas, such as: cn=john Smith,ou=marketing,dc=Xerox,dc=com cn=john Smith,ou=engineering,dc=Xerox,dc=com The path for a DN is from the lowest order to highest order. This is the reverse of the order that is used in the Windows file system. Just as the Windows file system allows numerous files to have the same name, if each file is in a different file directory, numerous users can have the same RDN as long as each DN is unique. As the DN example above shows, a John Smith can be listed in the marketing department and a John Smith can be listed in the engineering department. 1 4 Release 4.0

9 Understanding the LDAP structure Directory Information Tree Directory Information Tree The directory arranges entries in a hierarchical tree-like structure called the Directory Information Tree or DIT. A DIT is based on the Distinguished Name of the entries, with the Distinguished Names organized into branches that generally represent a geographical or organizational structure. Microsoft Active Directory is often organized either by geographical domains or by DNS. DIT organization based on geographical domains The illustration below shows how the administrator at seafood importing corporation might organize the LDAP directory hierarchy according to geography. To host a DocuShare server for their Acme company in the US, the administrator would define the DIT Root as o=acme, c=us. To define an external domain for the importing department at Acme, the administrator would define the Relative Authentication and the Directory Service Locator as ou=import. DIT organization based on DNS The illustration below shows how the administrator at corporation might organize the LDAP directory hierarchy according to DNS. The company uses Windows domain servers DocuShare LDAP/Active Directory Guide 1 5

10 Directory Information Tree Understanding the LDAP structure for the marketing, engineering, and finance divisions. By defining the DIT root as dc=mycompany, dc=com, the administrator can create a DocuShare external domain for each department within a division. To define an external domain for the Accounts Receivable department in the Finance division, the administrator would define the Relative Authentication and the Directory Service Locator as ou=accts recv, dc=finance. 1 6 Release 4.0

11 LDAP/DocuShare configuration DocuShare LDAP/Active Directory Guide 2 7

12 DocuShare Configuration LDAP/DocuShare configuration DocuShare Configuration To configure your DocuShare site to use LDAP/Active Directory, login as admin to your DocuShare site, then follow procedures A through F. To configure DocuShare correctly, use either the Active Directory Administration Tool or the Active Directory LDIFDE command to gather the necessary information. Both information gathering processes are described in this chapter. A- LDAP Configuration Use the DocuShare administration LDAP Configuration page to establish a connection between your DocuShare server and your LDAP server, and to define the Directory Information Tree that is used to create DocuShare external domains. 1. Open the LDAP Configuration page of the Administration UI. 2. Enter in the Host(s) field, the Host Name, or the IP address, or the DNS name of the LDAP/Active Directory server (FQDN preferred, or IP address if not FQDN). Use a space to separate multiple LDAP server address entries. 3. Enter in the Port field, the port number that is used by your LDAP server if other than the default port number Optional: Enter in the SSL field, the port number used for Secure Socket Layer. 5. Enter in the DIT Root field, the information you obtained using the Active Directory Administration Tool search for a reference to namingcontext. For example, this information would be in the format of dc=adoc,dc=xerox,dc=com. 6. Enter in the User RDN Key field, the attribute cn. This is the alias for the attribute commonname. The attribute my be different, depending on the type of LDAP server used (iplanet etc). 7. Select Agent in the System Agent field. Most Active Directory servers require either an Agent or a Service account login. 8. Enter in the DN field, the Distinguished Name of the agent account. For example, cn=john,cn=users,dc=adoc,dc=xerox. 9. Enter in the Password field, the password for the Agent account. 10. Go to the Test LDAP section at the bottom of the LDAP Configuration page. Use Test LDAP to check for a valid connection and a successful login to the LDAP server. 11. Select Agent in the Connection DN field. 12. Enter in the Name field, the Distinguished Name that you entered in the DN field in step Enter in the Password field, the password that you entered in the Password field in step Release 4.0

13 LDAP/DocuShare configuration DocuShare Configuration 14. Click Apply and Test. You will see a "Success" message if you have correctly established a connection to the LDAP server. 15. Repeat steps 11 through 14 but select User in the Connection DN field. NOTE: This test does not check the validity of the DIT Root nor the Relative Authentication Locator of any external domains.the test checks only whether DocuShare received a positive response from the LDAP server. B- Advanced Configuration Use LDAP Advanced configuration to set how specific object classes are defined on your LDAP server. 1. Click Advanced located at the bottom of the LDAP Configuration page. The LDAP Advanced Configuration page appears. 2. At the bottom of the LDAP Advanced Configuration page, locate the section title Object Classes. 3. In the User field, replace the default entry person, with the word user (all lowercase). 4. In the Static Group field, replace the default entry groupofuniquenames, with the word group (all lowercase). 5. Click Apply. C- Enable LDAP Providers Use the DocuShare administration Security Services and Directory Service pages to enable both the Security and Directory Provider Services for LDAP. This allows users to select the LDAP External Domains from the Domains drop down list at the Login prompts. 1. Open the Security Services page of the Administration UI. 2. On the Security Services page, check the LDAP box to enable LDAP as the authentication provider for all external domains, then click Apply. 3. Open the Directory Service page of the Administration UI. 4. On the Directory Service page, check the LDAP box to enable LDAP as the directory service provider for all external domains, then click Apply. DocuShare LDAP/Active Directory Guide 2 9

14 DocuShare Configuration LDAP/DocuShare configuration D- Bind User Use the DocuShare administration Bind User page to establish an association between DocuShare account properties and LDAP account attributes. 1. Open the Bind User page of the Administration UI. 2. In the First Name field, enter the attribute that LDAP uses for the first name of a user. This is generally givenname. 3. In the Last Name field, enter the attribute that LDAP uses for the last name of a user. This is generally surname or sn. This is a required field. 4. In the Username field, enter the attribute that LDAP uses for the login name of a user. This is generally samaccountname. This is a required field. 5. If the LDAP directory contains attributes for addition attributes, such as address, mail stop, telephone number, or home page, enter those attributes in the appropriate fields on the Bind User page. 6. Click Apply the save this information. E- Bind Group Use the DocuShare administration Bind Group page to establish an association between DocuShare account properties and LDAP account attributes. 1. Use the information you obtained using the LDIFDE command and enter those attributes in the appropriate fields on the Bind Group page. For more information, refer to the section of this chapter titled The Active Directory LDIFDE command/analyzing the adexport.text file contents/e. Bind Group Properties. 2. Click Apply the save this information. F- Create Domain Use the DocuShare administration Domains page to create external domains on your local DocuShare site. Each DocuShare external domain represents a branch in the LDAP directory tree. And each branch contains a collection of DocuShare user and group accounts. 1. Open the Domains page of the Administration UI. 2. In the Add field, enter the name of the external domain that you want to add to your local site. This may be simply a description name, such as Engineering. 3. Select LDAP/LDAP in the Providers/Security Services and Providers/Directory Services pages of the Admin UI. 4. In the Relative Authentication Locator field, enter one or more attribute pairs to define the path to the directory that contains the user and group accounts. Use the attribute components of the DN that are to the left of the DIT root and to the right of the user RDN Release 4.0

15 LDAP/DocuShare configuration DocuShare Configuration For example, the DN for a user account in a domain is cn=users name,ou=engineering,ou=docushare,dc=adoc,dc=xerox,dc=com. The Engineering domain is in ou=engineering, ou=docushare branch. The DIT root is dc=adoc, dc=xerox, dc=com. 5. In the Relative Directory Service Locator field, enter one or more attribute pairs. Use the same attribute pairs that you entered in the Relative Authentication Locator field. DocuShare 3.0 supports only LDAP for Authentication and Directory services, so the values for Relative Authentication Locator and Relative Directory Service Locator are identical. 6. Click Add to add this external domain to your local login menu. G- Add After you have completed the LDAP Configuration, Providers, Bind User, and Domains pages, you are ready to add user and group accounts to the external domain on your DocuShare site. If you were to List Users or List Groups in the new external domain, the domain would be empty. What you must do now is open the domain on the LDAP server, and select those user and group account that you want as members of your local external domain. 1. Open the Add page of the Administration UI. This is not the same page as Add User. 2. Select a domain from the By User domain menu. 3. Select one or more accounts from the User or Group list. Accounts not selected will not be able to login nor access the DocuShare site. 4. Click Add. The accounts selected now are part of the external domain as it appears on the DocuShare site. 5. Open the List Users page of the Administration UI, and select the newly added domain from the Domain menu. The List Users page displays all of the accounts that you just added to the external domain. H- View Login 1. Return to the DocuShare home page. 2. In the Login section of the home page, the new external domain should appear in the Login Domain menu. 3. A user of an external domain must select the correct domain for login, or DocuShare displays a login error message and a request to retry. DocuShare LDAP/Active Directory Guide 2 11

16 LDAP and SSL LDAP/DocuShare configuration LDAP and SSL Secure Socket Layer, or SSL, is a protocol that was developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL works by using a public key to encrypt data that is transferred over an SSL connection. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL. Many Web sites use SSL to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers and account passwords. An SSL session is initiated by using a URL that begins with https instead of http. Certificates When using SSL, servers and clients use certificates to provide proof of identity prior to establishing a secure connection. A certificate also contains public and private keys that are used to establish a session. Servers and clients use session keys to encrypt and decrypt data. Certificates may be self-signed or they can be issued by a certificate authority (CA) such as Entrust, Equifax, Valicert, or Verisign. Certificates issued by a CA are considered to be from a trusted third-party authority. Basically, third-party authority vouches for the identity of a user. Most client browsers are configured to recognize and trust certificates issued by CAs. When certificates are self-signed the user is acting as a certificate authority. A self-signed certificate must be installed in the browsers authorities' store and the certificate is not recognized as a trusted third-party authority. Certificates are issued as either client or server certificates. DocuShare does not support client-side certificates. DocuShare uses a copy of the LDAP server's certificate to establish the SSL session with the LDAP server. Import the Certificate to DocuShare Depending on the CA that issued the certificate, the administrator may need to import the certificate from the LDAP server to the DocuShare server web browser certificate store. If the certificate is self-signed, the administrator must import the certificate to the DocuShare server web browser certificate store. To import the certificate from a specific LDAP server: 1. Open a web browser at the DocuShare server. 2. Connect to the LDAP server using the address - Port 636 is the standard port for SSL. 3. If the certificate has not been installed on the DocuShare server's browser, a Security Alert window appears prompting you to install the certificate. 4. To install the certificate, click View Certificate at the bottom of the Security Alert window. A Certificate window appears. 5. Click the Details tab, then click the Copy to File button Release 4.0

17 LDAP/DocuShare configuration LDAP and SSL Export the Certificate and Save as a CER File After you have imported the certificate from the LDAP server, you now need to export the certificate to DocuShare directory and save it as a certificate file. To export the certificate and save it as a certificate file: 1. Click Next at the bottom of the Wizard window. If the certificate contained a private key, the Export Private Key window appears. 2. In the Export Private Key window, select No, do not export the private key. DocuShare will not need a private key to establish an SSL session with the LDAP server. 3. Click Next. The Export File Format window appears. 4. Select Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER) in the Export File Format window. 5. Click Next. The File to Export prompt window appears. 6. Enter in the File name field, the directory path to a location on your drive where you want to export the certificate. For example D:\. 7. Enter in the File name field, behind the directory path, a file name for the certificate with the extension.cer. For example D:\SSL_Cert4LDAP.cer. 8. Click Next to complete the certificate export. The Completing Certificate Export Wizard window appears. 9. Click Finish to close the Wizard. The LDAP certificate is saved as a.cer file on your DocuShare site. 10. Follow the instructions on the next page, Placing the certificate into DSTrustStore. Placing the Certificate into DSTrustStore Now that you have saved the certificate as a certificate file, you must place it in the DSTrustStore file. To place the certificate.cer file into the DSTrustStore file: 1. Locate the.cer file you exported using the Certificate Export Wizard. 2. Copy the.cer file to the directory containing the DSTrustStore file <ds3_installdir>\jdk1.3.1\jre\lib\security. DocuShare LDAP/Active Directory Guide 2 13

If Keytool completed the operation, your DocuShare server is now ready to use the certificate to establish and SSL session with your LDAP server. DocuShare LDAP/Active Directory Guide 2 15

20 The Active Directory Administration Tool LDAP/DocuShare configuration The Active Directory Administration Tool You can use the Active Directory Administration Tool to perform various operations to an Active Directory and to query an LDAP directory server. To install and use the Active Directory Administration Tool to help configure your DocuShare site: 1. Open the Windows 2000 server software CD, and locate and read the sreadme.doc file. 2. Locate the file setup.exe in the Support\Tools directory. 3. Click the setup.exe file to begin the installation of the ldp.exe file. 4. Follow the on screen instructions to install the ldp.exe. 5. After installation has completed, open the Windows Start menu and click the Active Directory Administration Tool. This launches ldp.exe and the Active Directory Administration Tool appears. The Tool has a navigation bar with commands, and a left and right frame where it displays information Release 4.0

21 LDAP/DocuShare configuration The Active Directory Administration Tool Using the Active Directory Administration tool You can use the Active Directory Administration Tool to collect information about your LDAP server that you need to configure your DocuShare site to use the server for external domains. Follow procedures A through F. NOTE: This procedure is based on using the tool to collect information from a typical LDAP server setup. Variations may occur, depending on how the server was configured. A- Connect 1. Select Connection from the Active Directory Administration Tool navigation bar, and then select Connect from the Connection menu. The Connect dialog box appears. 2. Enter in the Server field either the IP address or the DNS name of the LDAP Active Directory server. 3. Enter in the Port field the port number used, if other than the displayed default. 4. Click OK. You have now set the LDAP server address and port number. B- Bind After setting up the connection to the LDAP server, you must now bind the server to an administrator account that has access permission to search the directory. 1. Select Connection from the Active Directory Administration Tool navigation bar, and then select Bind from the Connection menu. The Bind dialog box appears. 2. Enter the user account name in the User field, password in the Password field, and domain in the Domain field. 3. Click OK. If you have successfully connected to and created a bind to the LDAP server, the server displays response text in the right frame of the Active Directory Administration Tool. DocuShare LDAP/Active Directory Guide 2 17

22 The Active Directory Administration Tool LDAP/DocuShare configuration C- Locate the base Distinguished Name The base DN will be the starting point for our examination of the directory tree. 1. Search the response text of the right frame of the Active Directory Administration Tool for a reference to namingcontext. The format of the namingcontext will vary depending on the LDAP server that you are using. 2. The highlighted text is the base Distinguished Name for the DIT. For an example, the highlighted base DN might be dc=adoc,dc=xerox,dc=com. Your actual Base DN may differ according to the unique structure of your LDAP directory tree. Write down this information for later use. D- View the Directory Information Tree 1. Select View from the Active Directory Administration Tool navigation bar, and then select Tree from the View menu. The Tree View dialog box appears. 2. In the BaseDN field, enter the base Distinguished Name that you found in your namingcontext search above. 3. Click OK. The DIT for your LDAP server is displayed in the left frame of the Active Directory Administration Tool window. 4. Examine the Tree to determine where your DIT root will be for any DocuShare external domains that you want to create. The root should be high enough in the hierarchy so it includes all of the branches (such as organizationunit and domaincomponents) that will have access to the DocuShare server. For our example, we are going to use dc=adoc, dc=xerox,dc=com as our DIT root because we want to include only the users in the ADOC domain and not everyone at Xerox.com. E- Find the Agent Account In most cases an Active Directory does not accept anonymous queries to the directory.this requires the use of either an Agent or a Service account to query the server. Use the Search command to find the DN of the Agent account. 1. Select Browse from the Active Directory Administration Tool navigation bar, and then select Search from the Browse menu. The Search dialog box appears. 2. Enter a Base DN in the Base DN field. Depending on the Base DN value used and the location in the hierarchy of the Agent account, you may need to select Subtree to expand the search scope. 3. Enter a filer in the Filter field. We used the samaccoutname attribute for our filter since we knew the login name of the Agent account. This attribute is unique to Active Directory and is a carryover from Windows NT. If we knew the commonname (cn) of the account we 2 18 Release 4.0

23 LDAP/DocuShare configuration The Active Directory Administration Tool could have used commonname=peter Pan for example. An iplanet server may use the uid or commonname (cn) attribute. 4. Select the Scope of the search. Select Subtree is One Level is not wide enough. 5. Click Run. The results of your search appears as text in the right frame of the Active Directory Administration Tool window. For example, a search might show that the distinguishedname for the Agent account is cn=testuser1,cn=users,dc=adoc,dc=xerox,dc=com. F- Next step After following procedures A through E, you should be able to use Active Directory Administration Tool to gather the information you need to configure your DocuShare site to use LDAP for user account authentication.

29 LDAP/DocuShare configuration The Active Directory LDIFDE command Analyzing the adexport.txt file contents Our example adexport.txt file uses the Distinguished Name (DN) for Duncan Donkey; a member of the Digital Actors team in the InfoDev department of DSBU at Xerox Corporation. In our example, the DN for Duncan Donkey is defined as: CN=Duncan Donkey, OU=Digital, OU=Actors, DC=infodev, DC=dsbu, DC=xerox, DC=com By examining a users Distinguished Name you can find the information necessary to identify the: a. The Directory Information Tree (DIT) Root b. The User RDN Key c. The Relative Authentication and Directory Service Locators d. Bind User Attributes e. Bind Group Attributes A. The Directory Information Tree (DIT) Root Set the DIT root at the level of the directory tree that will include all branches of the directory that contain users who need access to the DocuShare server. In our example, only members of the DSBU organization at Xerox will have access to our sample DocuShare server. The DSBU organization includes several departments and teams within each department. These departments and teams are organized in the LDAP Directory by Domain Components (DC) and Organizational Units (OU). For our example we will setup an External Domain in DocuShare to authenticate users who are members of the Digital Actors Team in the InfoDev department at DSBU within Xerox Corporation. In our example, the DIT root of the DN for Duncan Donkey is shown here bolded: CN=Duncan Donkey, OU=Digital, OU=Actors, DC=infodev, DC=dsbu, DC=xerox, DC=com By defining the DIT root at this level in the hierarchy, external domains can be created for each department/team within DSBU. B. The User RDN Key The User RDN Key is the attribute alias used to identify the User. In our example, the User RDN key of the DN for Duncan Donkey is shown here bolded: CN=Duncan Donkey, OU=Digital, OU=Actors, DC=infodev, DC=dsbu, DC=xerox, DC=com C. The Relative Authentication and Directory Service Locators The Relative Authentication and Directory Service Locators are the pointers to the directory branch of the external domain that contains a specific user, users, or group.

30 The Active Directory LDIFDE command LDAP/DocuShare configuration In our example, the Relative Authentication and Directory Service Locator is shown here bolded: CN=Duncan Donkey, OU=Digital, OU=Actors, DC=infodev, DC=dsbu, DC=xerox, DC=com. D. Bind User Attributes The text file generated by the FDIFDE command contains the attributes alias that are used to identify the last name, user name, and address of each user listed. You will use these attributes aliases to configure the DocuShare LDAP Bind User properties. In the FDIFDE command text file, users within the LDAP directory are identified with the entry objectclass: user. In our example, you will find the LDAP attribute aliases for the following properties: Last Name = sn User Name = samaccountname Address = mail In our example, the values given to these LDAP attribute aliases are: sn: Donkey samaccountname: duncan mail: ddonkey@infodev.xerox.com E. Bind Group Attributes The text file generated by the FDIFDE command contains the attributes alias that are used to identify the title, description, and summary information of each group listed. You will use these attributes aliases to configure the DocuShare LDAP Bind Group properties. In the FDIFDE command text file, groups within the LDAP directory are identified with the entry objectclass: group. In our example, you will find the LDAP attribute aliases for the following properties: Title = cn Description = description Summary = info In our example, the values given to these LDAP attribute aliases are: cn: labusers description: InfoDev Lab Users summary: Authorized Login User to the InfoDev Lab 2 26 Release 4.0
