Some time back, I stumbled upon a flaw in HCL Connections 7 and 8 that allowed for user enumeration. This flaw could be exploited by anonymous users.

This year marked my inaugural attendance at the Chemnitzer Linuxdays. The experience was fantastic, and I had the pleasure of connecting with numerous intriguing individuals. Chemnitzer Linuxdays stands out as one of the premier events in the Linux and open-source community. With 3,200 attendees this year, participants had the opportunity to engage with a diverse array of topics through 94 talks and hands-on workshops .

Since end of last year, I use Fedora Silverblue or, better Universal Blue on my notebooks for daily work and my personal projects.

I had one Connections’ environment that I wanted to switch from OpenLDAP to Active Directory LDAP. The old OpenLDAP environment used LDAPS to connect, and so I assumed that the change was done quickly.

The first step was to make a copy of the tdisol folder I used for OpenLDAP and start changing the configuration files for the new LDAP server.
