            <title>[SERVER-35566] setParameter.saslauthdPath no longer defaults to /var/run/saslauthd/mux</title>
                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-35566</link>
                <project id="10000" key="SERVER">Core Server</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;I&apos;ve noticed, that when using LDAP with saslauthd, saslauthdPath no longer defaults to /var/run/saslauthd/mux starting in MongoDB 4.0.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Authenticating using LDAP fails and I get the following error messages in the log:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p/&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;syntaxplugin&quot; class=&quot;syntaxplugin&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px dashed #bbb; border-radius: 5px !important; overflow: auto; max-height: 30em;&quot;&gt;

		&lt;tbody &gt;
				&lt;tr id=&quot;syntaxplugin_code_and_gutter&quot;&gt;

Bind parameters were: {BindDN: automation-agent, authenticationType: simple}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
				&lt;tr id=&quot;syntaxplugin_code_and_gutter&quot;&gt;
						&lt;td  style=&quot; line-height: 1.4em !important; padding: 0em; vertical-align: top;&quot;&gt;
					&lt;pre style=&quot;font-size: 1em; margin: 0 10px;   margin-bottom: 10px;  width: auto; padding: 0;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &apos;Consolas&apos;, &apos;Bitstream Vera Sans Mono&apos;, &apos;Courier New&apos;, Courier, monospace !important;&quot;&gt;2018-06-12T20:18:41.076+0000 I ACCESS   [conn1] SASL PLAIN authentication failed for automation-agent on $external from client 127.0.0.1:43584 ; OperationFailed: LDAP bind failed with error: Can&apos;t contact LDAP server&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
			&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
			&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am able to authenticate successfully if I downgrade to MongoDB 3.6 or specify saslauthdPath.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is problematic for users upgrading existing LDAP deployments that do not specify saslauthdPath and depend on it defaulting to /var/run/saslauthd/mux.  Such deployments will break upon upgrading to MongoDB 4.0&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                            <comment id="1919505" author="acm" created="Wed, 13 Jun 2018 14:35:06 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;Interestingly, I don&apos;t find the path &lt;tt&gt;/var/run/saslauthd&lt;/tt&gt; anywhere in our code in either the v3.6 or v4.0 branches. Perhaps it is constructed piecewise so a simple grep doesn&apos;t find it. I do find a test in the enterprise module that seems to be overriding the path, but I assume that is for testing purposes. I do find the path &lt;tt&gt;/var/run/saslauthd&lt;/tt&gt; in the output of &lt;tt&gt;strings /usr/sbin/saslauthd&lt;/tt&gt; though.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
