Share Folder For Openldap Users

This document discusses how to set up shared folders for OpenLDAP users on an NFS server. It involves creating a shared directory, configuring the NFS server, and giving different LDAP users access to their own subfolders. The LDAP users can access their assigned folders but not others, maintaining separation of data.

Share Folder For Openldap Users

In this notes we will setup how to share different-different directory for particular ldap
user. For the personal data storage.

Ldap Server-

1- First Create a directory to store all ldap users share data

# mkdir /Share_Dir

2- Install and Configure NFS Server

# yum install nfs* -y

# vim /etc/exports
/Share_Dir 172.16.10.0/16(rw,sync)

3- Restart Services

# systemctl restart nfs


# systemctl restart rpcbind
# systemctl enable nfs
# systemctl enable rpcbind

Now create folders for ldap users, which will store personal data to their own share
folder.

Our ldap users –


First- "user1"
Second- "user2"
And we want to share different folder for "user1" and "user2".
We are creating two folder first “user1” and second “user2”.

# mkdir /Share_Dir/user1
# mkdir /Share_Dir/user2

Change the ownership of share folder-

Note: - First check your ldap user group id and gid on ldap server
(# ldapsearch -x -LLL "cn=*" -b "ou=users,dc=linuxpert,dc=com")
# chown -R ldap-user_uid:ldap_user_gid /Share_Dir/folder_name

# chown -R 1001:2001 /Share_Dir/user1


# chown -R 1002:2002 /Share_Dir/user2

Ldap Client Side @Ubuntu

# apt-get -y install portmap nfs-common


# /etc/init.d/nscd restart
# mkdir /Share_Dir
# vim /ect/fstab
172.16.10.19:/Share_Dir /Share_Dir nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0

:wq (Save & Quit)

# reboot

Now Login to your ldap user and check your mount folder…
First I’m login to ldap user – user1

user1@Linux-Team:~$ whoami
user1

user1@Linux-Team:~$ ls /Share_Dir/
user1 user2

Create a file in “user1” directory by user1


user1@Linux-Team:~$ touch /Share_Dir/user1/test1
user1@Linux-Team:~$ ls /Share_Dir/user1/
test1

File has been created.


But when we are logging with user1 and trying to create a file or folder in user2
directory...
then it cannot create file , because user1 do not have permission of user2 directory.

user1@Linux-Team:~$ touch /Share_Dir/user2/test2


touch: cannot touch `/Share_Dir/user1/test2': Permission denied
user1@Linux-Team:~$ touch /Share_Dir/test3
touch: cannot touch `/Share_Dir/test3': Permission denied
Login to Second user- user2

user1@Linux-Team:~$ su – user2
Password:

And trying to create, remove files or folder “user1” & “user2’ share folder..
Check the below example-

user2@Linux-Team:~$ touch /Share_Dir/user2/test3


user1@Linux-Team:~$ ls /Share_Dir/user2/
test3

user2@Linux-Team:~$ rm -rvf /Share_Dir/user1/test1


rm: cannot remove `/Share_Dir/user1/test1': Permission denied

Check on server
All users data will be store on “/Share_Dir” Folder…
[root@www ~]# ll /Share_Dir/user1/
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 5003 5003 0 Aug 25 17:28 test1
[root@www ~]# ll /Share_Dir/user1/
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 5004 5004 0 Aug 25 17:30 test3
