What is it?

A puppet module that installs OpenLDAP and manages the service. It uses an RPM based on the LDAP Toolbox project's RPM (included in the support directory) which has been modified to install files in the typical RHEL paths. This module does not configure the directory itself (an exercise left to the user), but instead focuses installing required files including certificates for SSL/TLS that is left as an exercise to the user.

An additional class (openldap::pwd_expire) is available that installs a nightly cron entry to check for users who's passwords are about to expire and emails them a warning message. This script requires using the ppolicy overlay for password aging.

Usage:

Generic OpenLDAP install

  class { 'openldap':
    base      => 'dc=mycompany,dc=com',
    certfile  => "puppet:///data/ssl/${::fqdn}.crt",
    keyfile   => "puppet:///data/ssl/${::fqdn}.key",

  }

To use the check-password ppolicy module:

  class { 'openldap':
    chkpass_pkg => openldap-eu-check-password
  }

You will then need to modify your password policy entry by adding the the objectClass pwdPolicyChecker and the attribute pwdCheckModule with a value of check_password.so.

Setting up password expiration warning emails:

  class { 'openldap::pwd_expire':
    uri         => 'ldap://ldap01.mycompany.com',
    rootdn      => 'cn=pwd_expire,ou=service_accounts,dc=mycompany,dc=com',
    rootpw      => 'mysecretpwd',
    searchbase  => 'ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=com',
  }
