KB-10567: Some attributes are missing from ldapsearch against Centrify-ldapproxy

25 June,18 at 11:09 AM

Applies to: All version of Centrify Infrastructure Services
Description:
The result from ldapsearch against Centrify-ldapproxy server does not contain all attributes of the user/group.
Below is the example:
>Search filter:
==================================================
# LDAPv3
# base <cn=Centrify User,cn=centrify,cn=Users,dc=centrify,dc=test> with scope baseObject
# filter: (objectClass=*)
# requesting: ALL
# with pagedResults control: size=100
==================================================
>Expected result, showing all attributes of the user:
================================================== 
# Centrify User, Centrify, Users, centrify.test
dn: cn=Centrify User,cn=Centrify,cn=Users,dc=centrify,dc=test
accountExpires: 9223372036854775807
adminCount: 1
cn: Centrify User
codePage: 0
countryCode: 0

objectCategory: CN=Person,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=centrify,DC=test

.....
gidNumber: 1000
.....
==================================================

>Actual result, some attributes like DN, gidNumber, givenName are missing:
================================================== 
#Centrify User, Centrify, Users, voyager.test
dn: cn=Centrify,cn=Centrify,cn=Users,dc=centrify,dc=test
accountExpires: 9223372036854775807
cn: Centrify User
displayName: Centrify User
memberOf: CN=Centrify Dev,CN=Centrify,CN=Users,DC=centrifyDC=test
memberOf: CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=centrify,DC=test
name: Centrify User
objectCategory: CN=Person,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=centrify,DC=test
....
==================================================
 
Root cause:
Centrify-ldapproxy returns the cache built by adclient. The attributes list of the object cache depends on purpose of being built.
For instance, if the object cache was built as result of adquery, it does not contain extra attributes above.
 
Resolution: 
To ensure expected attribute to be returned, please edit /etc/centrifydc/centrifydc.conf and modify the following settings:
 
>For user object:
adclient.custom.attributes.user: <attribute1> <attribute2> <..>


>For group object:
adclient.custom.attributes.group: <attribute1> <attribute2> <..>
 
>Example:
adclient.custom.attributes.user DN gidNumber
The above example ensure the attributes “DN” & “gidNumber” are always cache on user object.


After the change, please restart adclient to make the settings effective.
Below is the command to restart adclient:
# /usr/share/centrifydc/bin/centrifydc restart
