(Get the code!)
How I test:
1) Configure slapd (server) and libnss-
Note: Ubuntu Server Guide is a godsend to a newbie. https:/
2) Configure slapd (server) to serve up desired /etc/hosts information
Note: The Arch folks have some good examples of this:
https:/
3) Configure nsswitch to use ldap
- Add 'ldap' to the 'hosts' entry in /etc/nsswitch
NOTE: make sure to disable 'nscd'!
4) Test libldap-nss/ldap working as expected:
$ getent hosts
-Should see the hosts as entered into slapd added now
5) Now configure for StartTLS
Again see Ubuntu documentation:
https:/
6) Retest to make sure still working
$getent hosts
Note: You can verify that StartTLS is working by enabling logging on slapd and then,
$ grep STARTTLS /var/log/syslog
Note: log enabling for slapd:
http://
, i enabled 'all'
You should see a STARTTLS connection every time you call 'getent hosts', if its working as expected. If you are hardcore, you can also configure the server to _only_ accept STARTTLS, but I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
7) Now you can test the bug! (Note: I modified the testcase provided to use getbyhostname)
