RE: ITS#5822 slapd goes into sleeping mode

E.g. a function takes a lock but in the case of some rare error return it forgets to release it. Then the next attempt to use that resource (e.g. a locked entry, or a locked database) will hang. I see you use "database oci". This was never part of OpenLDAP as far as I know. <google oci site:openldap.org> shows the code was submitted. I don't know the slapd SQL code and haven't checked if the code was rejected because of some problem, or merged into back-sql, or something else. If you browse these messages, maybe that'll turn up your problem. -- Hallvard

It's not a matter of consuming my time. We're all condemned to consume all of our time sooner or later. It's a matter of consuming it on something we consider worth it, and enjoy it in the meanwhile. One of the pleasures of working at free software is that nobody can really tell you what to work at :) > Did you see anytime a similar problem of slapd sleeping mode? Slapd has no "sleeping mode" (would it make any sense?) Do the logs show anything relevant *before* slapd becomes unresponsive? You mentioned that attaching the process with gdb is not an option, since it's operating in a very critical environment. However, I believe you wouldn't make things any worse when it's no longer responding anyway. > Did you think if there is any solaris patches that could fix similar > problems?

Ok, I can fully understand your point. Anyway, from your expert point of view on openldap, and understanding that this is an obsolete version of slapd, I would like only two things that you probably know without consuming much time from your side. Did you see anytime a similar problem of slapd sleeping mode? Did you think if there is any solaris patches that could fix similar problems?

One issue is that you should clarify what version you're using. If you're really using a OpenLDAP 2.1 release, then it's probably not worth the effort of tracing the issue: that release became historic in early 2004. No one will ever spend time finding a bug in it, or even backporting fixes to known bugs (unless very well rewarded, I guess). p. Ing.

I just read carefully the instructions on "how to report a bug", and I will try my best to gather it. Anyway, I got a question for you. Since the slapd process does not crash but keeps in a sleeping mode, and due to this machine is working in a very critical enviroment for our customer, is it needed to run gdb tool?=20 Besides, the problem happens in a random way, so we could run those commands when the slapd is sleeping and does not answer. When this happens, the ldapsearch command is not answered. Platform: SunOS MVICBDS01D05 5.9 Generic_118558-35 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-15000 In this machine is also running oracle version 9.2.0.8 .

The concept itself of having StartTLS optional (without notice of whether it succeeded or not!) sounds extremely bogus to me. In all the clients I develop, I never provide such alternative, either on or off. p. Ing.

The only options affected are -C and -N, and -C is essentially useless now. (And is undocumented.) So perhaps this can be mostly ignored, and we just need a workable approach for -N and any future boolean options. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
