I'm having troubles my kerberos server (LDAP back-end). I wanted to restart the KDC service and it failed. It has been working fine for several weeks.
Since I had just tweaked LDAP ACLs, I tried the following commands:
$ slapacl -D cn=kdc-srv,ou=krb5,dc=example,dc=org -b ou=krb5,dc=example,dc=org entry/read
authcDN: "cn=kdc-srv,ou=krb5,dc=example,dc=org"
read access to entry: ALLOWED
-
$ ldapsearch -b ou=krb5,dc=example,dc=org -D 'cn=kdc-srv,ou=krb5,dc=example,dc=org' -W
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
-
The result of the second command doesn't make any sense to me. How can it be allowed and still fail?
EDIT: Also if I do this instead:
ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:// -b ou=krb5,dc=example,dc=org -D 'cn=kdc-srv,ou=krb5,dc=example,dc=org' -W
I get No such object (32)
.

I first compared the password of the KDC DN in the LDAP directory with the one stashed in /etc/krb5kdc/service.keyfile
and they are the same.
Here are the logs when trying to restart the KDC:

And here are the LDAP ACLs:
olcAccess: {0}to dn.subtree="ou=krb5,dc=example,dc=org"

olcAccess: {2}to dn.subtree="ou=people,dc=example,dc=org"

...
olcAccess: {6}to dn.subtree="ou=systems,dc=example,dc=org"

by * none
olcAccess: {7}to dn.base=""
by * read
olcAccess: {8}to *

Any ideas?
