Abstract

This document describes server setup for the stoney cloud (Online) Backup service, built upon the Gentoo Linux distribution.

Overview

After working through this documentation, you will be able to set up and configure your own (Online) Backup service server.

Software Installation

Requirements

A working stoney cloud installation.

USE-Flages

For a full OpenLDAP directory installation:

echo "net-nds/openldap overlays perl sasl" >> /etc/portage/package.use

For a minimal OpenLDAP directory installation (just the necessary tools):

echo "sys-auth/nss-pam-ldapd sasl" >> /etc/portage/package.use
echo "sys-auth/nss-pam-ldapd ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "net-nds/openldap ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "sys-fs/quota ldap" >> /etc/portage/package.use

For the prov-backup-rsnapshot daemon

echo "dev-perl/Net-SMTPS ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

Emerge

emerge ⁻va nss-pam-ldapd
emerge -va rsnapshot
emerge -va quota
emerge -va dev-perl/Config-IniFiles
emerge -va dev-perl/LockFile-Simple
emerge -va dev-perl/Net-SMTPS
emerge -va dev-perl/perl-ldap
emerge -va virtual/perl-Switch

Software Configuration

OpenLDAP

/etc/openldap/ldap.conf

nss-pam-ldapd

/etc/nslcd.conf
# This is the configuration file for the LDAP nameservice
# switch library's nslcd daemon. It configures the mapping
# between NSS names (see /etc/nsswitch.conf) and LDAP
# information in the directory.
# See the manual page nslcd.conf(5) for more information.

# The user and group nslcd should run as.
uid nslcd
gid nslcd

# The uri pointing to the LDAP server to use for name lookups.
# Multiple entries may be specified. The address that is used
# here should be resolvable without using LDAP (obviously).
#uri ldap://127.0.0.1/
#uri ldaps://127.0.0.1/
#uri ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fldapi_sock/
# Note: %2f encodes the '/' used as directory separator
uri ldaps://ldapm.tombstone.ch

# The LDAP version to use (defaults to 3
# if supported by client library)
#ldap_version 3

# The distinguished name of the search base.
base dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org

# The distinguished name to bind to the server with.
# Optional: default is to bind anonymously.
binddn cn=Manager,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org

# The credentials to bind with.
# Optional: default is no credentials.
# Note that if you set a bindpw you should check the permissions of this file.
bindpw myverysecretpassword

# The distinguished name to perform password modifications by root by.
#rootpwmoddn cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com

# The default search scope.
#scope sub
#scope one
#scope base

# Customize certain database lookups.
#base   group  ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
base   group  ou=groups,ou=backup,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
base   passwd ou=accounts,ou=backup,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
base   shadow ou=accounts,ou=backup,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
#scope  group  onelevel
#scope  hosts  sub

# Bind/connect timelimit.
#bind_timelimit 30

# Search timelimit.
#timelimit 30

# Idle timelimit. nslcd will close connections if the
# server has not been contacted for the number of seconds.
#idle_timelimit 3600

# Use StartTLS without verifying the server certificate.
#ssl start_tls
tls_reqcert never

# CA certificates for server certificate verification
#tls_cacertdir /etc/ssl/certs
#tls_cacertfile /etc/ssl/ca.cert

# Seed the PRNG if /dev/urandom is not provided
#tls_randfile /var/run/egd-pool

# SSL cipher suite
# See man ciphers for syntax
#tls_ciphers TLSv1

# Client certificate and key
# Use these, if your server requires client authentication.
#tls_cert
#tls_key
