Release Maintenance Policy
by Howard Chu 08 Aug '21

08 Aug '21

HEADS UP: OpenLDAP 2.4 End of Life. Just a reminder to everyone: the Project has a long-standing policy of doing active development on only one release version at a time. To allow time for migrations we provide some overlap from one release version to the next. E.g., while 2.5 is active we will still provide critical bugfixes for 2.4. Since 2.4 has been around for something like 14 years now people may have forgotten this policy. This is a heads up that with 2.6 due for release in September, all updates to 2.4 will cease at that time. Likewise, when 2.7 is released next year all updates to 2.5 will cease. Also for clarity: We consider "Critical" bugs to include security flaws resulting in unauthorized data disclosure, or unauthorized remote code execution. We do not consider assert() failures or crashes resulting only in Denial of Service as security flaws. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

OpenLDAP 2.5 Announcement
by project＠openldap.org 29 Apr '21

29 Apr '21

OpenLDAP Version 2.5 Release Announcement April 29, 2021 The OpenLDAP Project is pleased to announce the general availability of OpenLDAP Software version 2.5, a suite of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3) servers, clients, utilities, documentation, and development tools. This release contains significant new function that has been contributed by Symas, its customers, and by other organizations and individuals that use OpenLDAP. The bulk of this function has already been heavily tested in the field using OpenLDAP 2.4, so the Project expects the 2.5 release to be extremely stable in its early releases. As with all new software, though, the Project recommends that users carefully test the software to ensure it meets their needs. The following new components and capabilities are highlighted for this release: Featured Enhancements * LDAP Load Balancer Daemon A load balancer daemon, designed from the ground up to handle LDAP loads, has been developed. It is protocol-aware and can balance LDAP loads on a per-operation basis rather than on a per-connection basis. Gone are the days of long-lived connections collecting on a small number of LDAP servers and having to manually restart servers to rebalance loads. * Large Multi-valued Attribute Support When configured to use LMDB, OpenLDAP can handle multi-valued attributes with large numbers of values without any appreciable performance degradation. Searches, adds, deletes, and modifications of individual values happen faster than quicksilver through a goose. * LDAP Transaction Support When configured to use LMDB, multiple LDAP operations can be committed together in a single client-controlled transaction. If any of the operations fail, all of the other operations that are part of that transaction are rolled back. * New Replication Protocols OpenLDAP can now replicate entries from legacy LDAP directory servers including Microsoft Active Directory and Sun DSEE/Oracle DSEE. This makes retiring those systems simpler and easier. * Multi-Factor Authentication OpenLDAP now supports TOTP, HOTP and other modern multi-factor authentication methods. Many existing LDAP applications can use multi-factor authentication without modification. New Database Backends * Asynchronous Meta-directory OpenLDAP's standard meta-directory backend ties together search results from multiple remote LDAP servers, translates attribute names, and rewrites distinguished names but is limited to working with a relatively small number of remote servers. A new version of the meta-directory backend, async-meta, is able to efficiently handle connections to thousands of remote LDAP servers without suffering performance degradation. * Wiredtiger (Experimental) OpenLDAP can now use the Wiredtiger database to store its data. The Wiredtiger database software is available separately and its SDK must be available when OpenLDAP is compiled. New OpenLDAP Server Capabilities General * Additional LDAP Replication Protocols The replication consumer software has been enhanced to support multiple replication protocols. In addition to supporting the native Syncrepl/Delta Syncrepl protocols, it can also replicate entries from Microsoft Active Directory and DSEE/ODSEE. * Support for New LDAP Controls and Extended Operations To improve compatibility with applications designed for use with legacy LDAP servers, OpenLDAP 2.5 now supports many additional LDAP controls. See below for a complete list of new controls. * Dynamic Configuration Delete OpenLDAP 2.5 now allows dynamic configuration objects to be deleted. That makes it possible to delete overlays, databases, and other configuration-related items without restarting the LDAP server daemon. * Significant performance enhancements throughout the client and server code base Details New Overlays and Modules * autoca: An overlay to perform X.509 certificate authority functions via LDAP. Create a new CA, create or fetch a certificate/key pair with an LDAP search operation, and perform other CA functions with just an LDAP search operation. * homedir: perform complete home directory life cycle management, from creation, to archival, to deletion, completely automatically. Designed specifically for environments that use LDAP authentication and networked home directories, this overlay monitors a replication feed and performs actions based on changes to user and group entries. * otp: Have the LDAP directory server handle all the processing for time- and counter-based one-time passwords. Compatible with Google and other standards-based authenticator apps. * totp: A simpler password hashing module for time-based one-time passwords. * argon2: a new password hashing module using the Argon2 hash mechanism * adremap: remap attributes for PAM/NSS MS AD support * authzid: implements RFC 3829 support * datamorph: store enumerated values and fixed size integers * ppm: adds additional password checking critera to the slapo-ppolicy overlay * pw-radius: pass bind operations to the specified radius server(s) * rbac: accelerates the responses to ANSI INCITS 359 RBAC policy queries originating from Apache Fortress clients * remoteauth: Forward bind operations to one or more remote LDAP servers. Can optionally store the successfully-submitted password in the local database. * usn: adds MS AD usnCreated and usnChanged operational attributes to entries * variant: allows attributes/values to be shared between several entries * vc: implements the verify credentials extended operation Updates to Existing Backends * back-monitor is always statically built into slapd Updates to Existing Overlays The following updates have been made to existing overlays: * pcache: New control allows access to the cache DB, exop can remove data from the cache DB. Monitoring information for pcache is now available if back-monitor is enabled. * ppolicy: updated to comply with password policy draft 10 (draft-behera-ldap-password-policy-10) and to optionally return Netscape Password Expiring and Password Expired controls * dynlist: can now generate the (is)memberOf attribute dynamically and perform reverse lookups to find all groups a user belongs to. * unique: the unique overlay can now do db-wide locking to avoid potential race conditions New Libraries * libldif provides an LDIF parsing API Updates to Existing Libraries * libldap_r has been merged with libldap * libldap has TLS channel binding support * libldap has TLS public key pinning support * libldap has TLS SNI support * libldap has GSSAPI channel binding support New and Updated Clients and Tools * slapmodify: a tool for offline updates to cn=config New Supported LDAP Controls The following controls are now supported in OpenLDAP 2.5: Control Name OID Comments AUTHZID_REQUEST 2.16.840.1.113730.4.16 Authorization Identity Request Control (RFC 3829) AUTHZID_RESPONSE 2.16.840.1.113730.4.15 Authorization Identity Response Control (RFC 3829) LAZY_COMMIT 1.2.840.113556.1.4.619 MS AD Lazy Commit Control ACCOUNT_USABILITY 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.9.5.8 Netscape account usability control PASSWORD_EXPIRED 2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.4 Netscape Password expiring warning PASSWORD_EXPIRING 2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.5 Netscape Password expired warning TXN_SPEC 1.3.6.1.1.21.2 LDAP transaction specification control New Supported Extended Operations The following extended operations are now supported in OpenLDAP 2.5: Exop Name OID Comments TXN_START 1.3.6.1.1.21.1 Start LDAP transaction TXN_END 1.3.6.1.1.21.3 End LDAP Transaction TXN_ABORTED_NOTICE 1.3.6.1.1.21.4 Abort LDAP Transaction (notification) VERIFY_CREDENTIALS 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.6.5 Verify user credentials ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OpenLDAP Software is developed by the OpenLDAP Project.
