git digest #8: webproxy LDAP auth and op mode enhancements

Daniil Baturin

Posted 2 Dec, 2013

First, I integrated the patches for webproxy LDAP authentication. Some documentation on the commands can be found here: http://vyos.net/wiki/Web_proxy_LDAP_authentication. ActiveDirectory example from the original message:

# show service webproxy

 authentication {

     ldap {

         base-dn dc=home,dc=tld

         bind-dn cn=ldapbind,cn=Users,dc=home,dc=tld

         filter-expression sAMAccountName=%s

         password LongLdapPassword

         server 10.91.17.241

     }

     method ldap

 }

 listen-address 10.91.17.240 {

     disable-transparent

 }

Second, “show system memory” now displays memory information in easy to use format.

vyos@vyos64-test# run show system memory

Total: 497

Free:  401

Used:  96

“free -ot” output contains too much information for an overview, and when I suspect an out of memory condition, I prefer to just quickly see Free+Cache+Buffers as “free” for the starting point. /usr/bin/free is not gone of course, it’s still there and can be used with whatever options you like.

Third, there’s “show users recent [NUMBER]” command now to display recent user sessions.. It’s a wrapper for “last -aF”.

vyos@vyos64-test# run show users recent

All should be in the next nightly builds, or build the ISO yourself.
