Sarg package for pfsense
-
I'm trying to read the full name of the user via LDAP to show in Sarg reports, but I can not make it work.
In Sarg->User I use the same configuration, functional, used for Squid and pfSense, with a specific user, verified with Diagnostic-> Authentication.
Just about this, I found an oddity …
In the 'LDAP search filter' I put the string '(sAMAccountName =% s)' but in /usr/local/etc/sarg/sarg.conf, is not registered ::), but every other change, yes.
So, the next page load I was expecting a blank or default value, whereas it appeared the correct string ???
Where is it recorded? And, above all, irrespective of the position, this is used in the LDAP query?The LDAP directory is Active Directory on Windows 2003 and in the Event Viewer I have not seen any attempt to access by Sarg. Perhaps because of what I just said?
The software I use are all the latest (I think):
- PfSense 2.0.1-RELEASE (i386) built on Wed Dec 12 18:24:17 EST 2011
- Squid 2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.1
- SquidGuard 1.4_2 pkg v.1.9.1
- Sarg 2.3.2 pkg v.0.4.1
Any suggestions?
Thanks for the nice job, Marcelloc! -
lucapsg,
I've just pushed a fix to LDAP filter Search check.
Reinstall the package in 15 minutes.
Thanks for your feedback

Wow, a rocket!
Update installed, now the value entered in the 'LDAP search filter' is properly registered in sarg.conf. (I'm curious, where it was saved before?)
After saving each tab and pressing 'Force update now' in the report still does not appear the full name of the user.
From the Windows logs, there's no news, no attempt to access.
I look forward to doing more tests. -
try to tcpdump connections from pfsense to active directory.
maybe you have a ldap server fqdn configured that pfsense can't resolve.
-
As I said, I'm using the same configuration used in System-> User Manager-> Servers and tests made by Diagnostic-> Authentication confirm it is working.
However, to remove any doubt, in the 'LDAP Hostname' I'm using the IP.
Now I check with tcpdump … stay tuned... -
Hello Marcelloc,
I just a little bit confuse between SARG ldap setting (User tab) and Squid authentication with LDAP. If I understand collect when I used Squid authentication with LDAP, I don't need to use SARG ldap settings right.
Could you explain what is difference between SARG ldap setting and Squid authentication with LDAP, please?Thank u

During the update of the report and also in the tab 'Realtime', tcpdump has not caught anything on port 389.
To verify that the settings used in 'tcpdump' is correct I tried to capture traffic made with Diagnostic-> Authentication and actually a bit of broth was captured.
pfSense is 192.168.152.1 while Windows 2003 is 192.168.152.200, both in a VMware test environment:17:08:16.107802 IP 192.168.152.1.61250 > 192.168.152.200.389: tcp 0
17:08:16.109616 IP 192.168.152.200.389 > 192.168.152.1.61250: tcp 0
17:08:16.109692 IP 192.168.152.1.61250 > 192.168.152.200.389: tcp 0
17:08:16.109964 IP 192.168.152.1.61250 > 192.168.152.200.389: tcp 62
17:08:16.112227 IP 192.168.152.200.389 > 192.168.152.1.61250: tcp 22
ecc…@Donny: In Squid LDAP is used to "authenticate", while in Sarg to replace the username with the full name of the user in reports.

Hello lucapsg,
It mean, I have to use both if I need full user name of the user in sarg reports. Is it correct?
Thank u

HI all. I have same problem with ldap. With system>user manager some traffic shows up in tcpdump and correctly connects. Nothing with users in sarg reports.
Edit: last package update was just now.
-
@Donny, well, if you have an LDAP directory and you want to authenticate users (Squid) And you also want to display the full name of the user in report (Sarg), then YES.
Or at least we're working on so that this is possible ;)Sarg can do also (and already does) replacement using its own internal function. See field 'Users Association' in Status->Sarg Reports->Users, but in my judgment is only recommended for a small number of users and/or if Squid authenticates users with their own list.
@ Marcelloc, any news?
-
Marcelloc, any news?
try to run sarg on console/ssh to see if it returns ldap erros or something.
-
I tried this …
[2.0.1-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.virtualdomain.lan]/root(9): sarg SARG: Records in file: 1093, reading: 100.00% SARG: Successful report generated on /usr/local/www/sarg-reports/24Apr2012-24Apr2012 SARG: (removetmp) Cannot open file /usr/local/www/sarg-reports/24Apr2012-24Apr2012/sarg-general
…but...
[2.0.1-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.virtualdomain.lan]/root(10): ls -l /usr/local/www/sarg-reports/24Apr2012-24Apr2012 ls: /usr/local/www/sarg-reports/24Apr2012-24Apr2012: No such file or directory
… is it useful?

I've just pushed a fix to Sort Fields in Reverse order check.

Thanks for the user_sort_field BYTES REVERSE!!!
This is Exactly what I was expected! -

Thank a lot,
OK, Do I need to create authentication servers for LDAP at option System-> User Manager >Servers, when I use both of Squid authenticate and SARG Ldap setting. Is it possible if you can show me how you configuration SARG Ldap setting option? Did you success to get full user name in sarg report?. for me I only got user name login in sarg report. It is not full name.

For user authentication with Squid/LDAP see this post:
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic, 47409.0.htmlAs for replacing the username with the corresponding user's full name with Sarg/LDAP instructions are given in this tread, but there is still something that does not work, at least in my case :-\

Hello Marcelloc,
At Sarg "Users" tab, I try to config Ldap to get it work for full user name. At sarg ldap setting, I have configured the same CN, OU and DC as I have done with squid Ldap authenticate. so, I try many time to get full user name but it is not work. anyway try again tomorrow.

This is Exactly what I was expected!Hi,
I can also confirm. But first I had to uncheck and check option again to work.
Best regards

Have any news over SARG reports with full usernames instead of user name logins?

No time to test yet.
Did you tried to run sarg on console with ldap info? did it returned any error?
