Subject: [Ruby-activeldap-discuss] Installation and usage docs
Message-ID: <4668E8C8.3010703@unimelb.edu.au>

Hi,

I am having another play with ActiveLDAP.

I found it initially via rubygems so i used gems to install it:

 > gem install ruby-activeldap

Is this a supported method of installation?

I then started to follow the getting started instructions here 
(http://ruby-activeldap.rubyforge.org/doc/)

The quick test fails:

$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'active_ldap'
LoadError: no such file to load -- active_ldap
         from (irb):1:in `require'
         from (irb):1

However the following succeeds:

$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> gem 'ruby-activeldap'
=> true

However if i then try and use the class it fails:

irb(main):003:0> class Group < ActiveLdap::Base
irb(main):004:1> ldap_mapping
irb(main):005:1> end
NameError: uninitialized constant ActiveLdap
         from (irb):3

The installation instructions don't seem current as the file setup.rb 
doesn't even exist.

So what is the correct way to install ActiveLdap?

Also is it known to work with Sun Directory Server 5.2 ?

thanks, Iain.

Yes.

If you are using RubyGem, you need to add '-rubygems' option to irb:
  $ irb -rubygems
  irb(main):001:0> require 'active_ldap'

> However the following succeeds:
>

You need to use "require 'active_ldap'" instead of "gem 'ruby-activeldap'":
  irb(main):002:0> require 'active_ldap'

> The installation instructions don't seem current as the file setup.rb

You can use 'rake install':
  % sudo rake install

Both of RubyGems and rake.

Please report if you find a problem with Sun Directory Server 5.2. :)
I'll fix the problem.

Thanks. On that site, the link to download activeldap seems wrong:
http://projects.dataspill.org/libraries/ruby/activeldap/download.html

Who is most responsible for docs at the moment ? I would like to work 
together with that person.

Thanks for reporting. I've fixed that in trunk. Now, this is
the correct URL:
  http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=381

This fix will be applied the next release.

This ML is OK. If you send a patch or new documentation,
I'll apply or add them into trunk.

	filter syntax
Message-ID: <8be6656c0706120840n1e7873bao6c832f6bc8e33ff@mail.gmail.com>

hi list, as activeldap should support net-ldap i tried to get it
running with a code that actually runs with ruby/ldap. i'm getting a
"invalid filter syntax" when trying to run with net-ldap (latest svn
net-ldap and ruby-activeldap). is this a bug?

i am using a custom ldap group scheme with the name 'customGroup' --
maybe that could cause the problems?

here are my models

class LdapUser < ActiveLdap::Base
  ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => "uid",
  :prefix => "ou=users",
  :classes => ['top','inetOrgPerson']

  belongs_to :groups, :class => 'LdapGroup', :many => "member",
:foreign_key => "dn"

  def self.authenticate? username,password

    ActiveLdap::Base.logger ||= RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER
    ldap_configuration_file = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'config', 'ldap.yml')
    configurations =
YAML::load(ERB.new(IO.read(ldap_configuration_file)).result)
    ActiveLdap::Base.configurations = configurations
    %w(development production test).each do |d|
      ActiveLdap::Base.configurations[d]['bind_dn']=SETTINGS['ldap_users']
 % username
      ActiveLdap::Base.configurations[d]['password']=password
    end
    ActiveLdap::Base.establish_connection

  rescue
    return nil
  end

end

class LdapGroup < ActiveLdap::Base
  ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => "cn",
    :classes => ['top','customGroup'],
    :prefix => "ou=Groups"
  has_many :members, :class => "LdapUser", :wrap => "member"

end


error output:

Could you show us your LoginController#login too?
And could you show us the filter that causes "invalid filter syntax"?
The filter can be detected by the following patch for Net::LDAP:

===================================================================
--- lib/net/ldap/filter.rb      (revision 250)
+++ lib/net/ldap/filter.rb      (working copy)

   def parse scanner

Subject: [Ruby-activeldap-discuss] class names case sensitive
Message-ID: <466F9B58.6070509@unimelb.edu.au>

Hi,

I am using activeldap with 0.8.2 with Sun Directory server 5.2.

We are using our own custom data schema.

I have a problem where some objects of the same class have case 
variations in their entries.

e.g.

dn: object1
objectclass: unimelbipregsubnetdata


dn: object2
objectclass: unimelbIPREGsubnetdata

A query using the ldap command line tools will return both these entries 
regardless of case so it would seem that the actual directory is case 
insensitive:

$ ldapsearch -b "ou=Resources,o=The University of Melbourne,c=AU" -s sub 
  "(objectclass=unimelbipregsubnetdata)"

I have defined a subclass of ActiveLdap:

class Subnet < ActiveLdap::Base
   ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => 'unimelbipregsubnetcidr',
	 :prefix => 'ou=Resources',
     	 :classes => ['top', 'unimelbipregsubnetdata'],
    	 :scope => :sub
end

The problem is that this can't find entries with objectclass = 
unimelbIPREGsubnetdata, and it generates an error when performing searches:

 > Subnet.find(:all)
ActiveLdap::RequiredObjectClassMissed: Can't remove required 
objectClass: unimelbIPREGsubnetdata
         from 
/usr/local/ruby-1.8.6/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-activeldap-0.8.2/lib/active_ldap/object_class.rb:68:in 
`assert_have_all_required_classes'
....

Is there a way to make ActiveLdap case insensitive?

thanks, Iain.

hello, after applying your patch, the following error output comes:

invalid filter syntax
(&(member=uid=z3cko,ou=users,dc=p1ng,dc=net)(objectClass=top)(objectClass=customGroup))

the "customGroup" is a custom written ldap-group-schema.

my login controller

      if user=Person.find(:first, :conditions => ["ldap_dn = ?",
SETTINGS['ldap_users']  % v[:un]] ) then
        if l=LdapUser.authenticate?(v[:un], v[:pw]) then
          authenticated=true
          ldu=LdapUser.find(user.ldap_dn)
          ldu.groups.collect { |t| session[:groups] << t.cn }
        end
      end

any ideas what could be the problem?

thanks,

mz


ps: maybe you should apply the patch you sent me to trunk, makes
debugging easier ;)

Could you show us the result of 'p Subnet.search'?

And could you show us the output of Subnet.find(:all) with
the following patch:

I think this is a filter construction problem by
ActiveLdap. The filter is processed LDAP server not
ActiveLdap.

I've fixed a filter bug in trunk a few weeks ago. If you
have a time, could you try again with trunk?

Umm...
Do you (or someone) know how to write a filter that include
'=' character in attribute value? Should we escape that?

I hope so but I'm not a maintainer of Net::LDAP. :X

I had similar problems with case sensitivity in ActiveLdap[1]. I can
confirm that the fix in trunk mentioned by Kouhei above made the
problem go away; you should definitely upgrade to the latest trunk.

When i try to install from trunk i get an error from rake:

$ rake install
(in /home/usr/its/ipople/src/activeldap/trunk)
which: no dot in 
(/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/ruby-1.8.6/bin)

Is there a way to install it without having dot installed?

Message-ID: <4675D0D0.70408@unimelb.edu.au>

Hi,

I am finding that when i specify find(:all) it always uses a filter of '*'.

e.g.

user = User.find(:all, '*iain*')

performs the following search on the server:

SRCH base="ou=people,o=the university of melbourne,c=au" scope=2 
filter="(&(uid=*)(objectClass=top)(objectClass=person)(objectClass=unimelbipreg))"

Is this the correct behaviour? I expected it to return all results from 
the following search:

filter="(&(uid='*iain*')(objectClass=top)(objectClass=person)(objectClass=unimelbipreg))"


thanks, Iain.

Subject: [Ruby-activeldap-discuss] Stronger authentication needed,
	but how can I set a new connection on the object?
Message-ID: <907f43920706182242l55de0791p4d062375e2167a60@mail.gmail.com>

Hi

I'm using ruby-activeldap to build an administration interface for our ldap
directory. It's almost finished, but now I've got a big problem. Or perhaps
I just don't see the solution.

Background:
I'm using ruby-activeldap with Rails, hope you guys know it.

My Problem:
In my environment.rb I have a establish_connection method call, it connects
anonymously to our directory.
The application has two functionalities: 1. Search the directory, 2.
Administrative tasks. Number one doesn't need an authentication but number
two does.
Now everything's done with anonymous login. Every search and so on. But now,
of course, I get some "Stronger authentication" messages 'cause of our ldap
settings. That's good, no problem, but somehow I should give a new
connection (authenticated with username and password) to the ldap object ? I
mean, theres an object, with insufficient rights, but how can I change that?


Hope my problem is clear ;)

Thanks in advance,
Christoph

If you tell me a LDAP filter notation that uses "=" and ","
in filter value, I'll implement. You can use other LDAP
tools like ldapsearch to test LDAP filter notation.

I saw a similar question. ActiveLdap supports multiple
connections. You can keep a connection per class. There is a
simple example in documentation:

  ==== Juggling multiple LDAP connections
  
  In the same vein as the last tip, you can use multiple LDAP connections by
  per class as follows:
  
    irb> anon_class = Class.new(Base)
    => ...
    irb> anon_class.establish_connection
    => ...
    irb> auth_class = Class.new(Base)
    => ...
    irb> auth_class.establish_connection(:password_block => {'mypass'})
    => ...
  
  This can be useful for doing authentication tests and other such tricks.


m.zeckinger's example code that was showed a week ago will
help you too.

I think we should escape "=" and "," in the LDAP filter:
  (&(member=uid=z3cko,ou=users,dc=p1ng,dc=net)(objectClass=top)(objectClass=customGroup))

But I don't know how to do that. Or my expectation is wrong.

To esacpe the "=" character use \3D. Example: uid==test would be
uid=\3Dtest.
But I didn't find a complete list with all special characters... works with
OpenLDAP.


But I don't know how to do that. Or my expectation is wrong.

Thanks! But I notice that we need to escape "=" and ",". We
can use them without escaping.

m.zeckinger, is your LdapGroup really have DN value in
member field? Your definition of LdapGroup is the following:

  class LdapGroup < ActiveLdap::Base
    ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => "cn",
      :classes => ['top','customGroup'],
      :prefix => "ou=Groups"
    has_many :members, :class => "LdapUser", :wrap => "member"
  end

If your LdapGroup's "member" has DN values of LdapUser, you
need to add ':primary_key => "dn"' option:

  has_many :members, :class => "LdapUser", :wrap => "member",
           :primary_key => "dn"

Yes, we can use "\3D" to escape "=".
..OK I'll always escape "=".

But Net::LDAP's filter parser can't accept "\XX"
syntax. This is a bug of Net::LDAP not ActiveLdap. I've sent
a patch to fix the bug to the maintainer of Net::LDAP.

Subject: [Ruby-activeldap-discuss] Stronger authentication needed,

Hi

thanks a lot for your reply. But it didn't work somehow. Now I make
something like this:

def authenticated_user_class
  u_class = User.clone
  u_class.establish_connection(get_ldap_config)

  return u_class
end

private
  # Get authenticated ldap config
  def get_ldap_config
    config                              = ActiveLdap::Base.configuration
    config[:bind_dn]                = User.find(session[:user].to_s).dn
    config[:password_block]    = Proc.new { session[:password].to_s }
    config[:allow_anonymous]  = false

    return config
  end


So every time I have to change something on a user I use
authenticated_user_class. Example:

me = authenticated_user_class.find('d7lippc')

The rest is all the same, me.givenName, me.sn etc.

That works for me.

Thanks and regards,
Christoph

Hi all

I've got a problem with this:

User.find(:all, :sort_by => 'cn', :order => 'asc')

It works fine, but the output is a bit strange:

Andros
Customersupport
Human Resources
IPC 2. Level Support
Jobs
Spareparts
Support Customer
Support HCOM
WDS Marketin
itas


Is somebody able to explain me why itas is at the last position?

Thanks,
Christoph

  % ruby -e 'p "A"[0]; p "i"[0]'
  65
  105
  % ruby -e 'p ["A", "i", "Z", "z"].sort'
  ["A", "Z", "i", "z"]

Subject: [Ruby-activeldap-discuss] Redefining eql? and hash to make uniq work
Message-ID: <8C06F15D-B7D7-40BD-ADA5-210679A627C2@gmail.com>

ActiveLdap::Base currently redefines ==, eql?, and hash in the same  
manner as ActiveRecord::Base and for the same reason:  to make Ruby  
accept that two objects of the same type and dn are the same object.

I naively assumed that this would work with records retrieved using  
belongs_to associations, but it doesn't appear to.

Monkeypatching ActiveLdap::Association::Proxy with the redefinitions  
seems to work, but I'm not sure whether this is a dumb thing to do.

Message-ID: <c5f7b1150706261540y5c4ed353ife3678caaa50d663@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all, I've recently discovered Active Ldap, and have been experimenting
with it for a few days. I have gotten connections into my ldap server, and
can perform queries, and all thing necessary. Now that I am trying to
integrate this with Rails, I'm getting an error. The error happens the first
time I call a class level method on an extension (class that extends
ActiveLdap::Base). The error is an ActiveLdap::ConnectionError and has this
text "development connection is not configured". I did some searching and
saw some mention of a file that goes in config/ called ldap.yml which should
define connection information, but even after setting this file up, it still
would not connect.

The stack trace is as follows:

C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-activeldap-0.8.2/lib/active_ldap/configuration.rb:59:in
`ensure_configuration'
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-activeldap-0.8.2/lib/active_ldap/connection.rb:99:in
`establish_connection'
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-activeldap-0.8.2/lib/active_ldap/base.rb:248:in
`establish_connection'


Originally when developing my little module I let it use the defaults in my
configuration.rb file that is setup when you install active ldap.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Will

Hi Will

If you get the source code from
http://code.google.com/p/ruby-activeldap/source then you've got a folder
called rails/plugin/active_ldap . Copy the active_ldap directory into the
vendor/plugins directory. There's an init.rb file, which reads the
config/ldap.yml and calls the establish_connection method.

Best regards,
Christoph

You can use proxy_object === real_object or
proxy_object.target == real_object for that. I think it's a
bit strange that proxy_object == real_object is true. Yes, I
think proxy object should be transparent as much as possible
too but an proxy object's equality should be done for the
proxy object not for target object of proxy object.


I think using '===' is the best solution for your case.
