Oddities with searching for a specific attribute value
by Sebastian Urbanneck 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

Sorry for this weird topic, but I didn'T know how to name this one. These are the facts: we're using the phamm.schema from the PHAMM Project for saving virtual domain entries in our Ldap database. Searching for them is mostly no pronblem, but one specific circumstance is bothering me to death: when I try to search for a specific value of the attribute "vd", the corresponding entry is not always found. Any other attribute does the trick, but vd does'nt. For example: the search for (using the root_dn) ldapsearch -x -W -D "cn=admin,dc=uebergebuehr,dc=de" -b "ou=domains,dc=uebergebuehr,dc=de" "(vd=*) -s"one" produces following output: ---------output------------- # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <vd=lak-hessen.de,ou=domains,dc=uebergebuehr,dc=de> with scope baseObject # filter: (vd=*) # requesting: ALL # # lak-hessen.de, domains, uebergebuehr.de dn: vd=lak-hessen.de,ou=domains,dc=uebergebuehr,dc=de vd: lak-hessen.de lastChange: 1291723263 maxMail: 100 maxAlias: 100 maxQuota: 100 accountActive: TRUE editAV: TRUE delete: FALSE postfixTransport: dovecot objectClass: top objectClass: VirtualDomain description: lak-hessen.de # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 ------------------------------------- This is true for everytime I put a Wildcard (*) into the search pattern, and with scope "sub" there's also no matter in which part of the tree above this entry I am. But when I'm searching specificly for the value (lak-hessen.de) nothin is found, no matter in which entry I am and which scope use. Strangely this pattern _is_ found when you go into the entry of the domain itself (vd=lak-hessen.de,ou=domains,...) and search with scobe 'base'. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or is this a bug? I think ACLs are ruled out because of using the root_dn. I didn't want to file a Bug before being reallly sure that this is one regards Sebastian

Re: (ITS#6742) Patch - Mozilla NSS - centralize and improve certificate verification

New patch to supplement the other patch for this ITS: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/openldap-2.4.23-allow-self-issued-certs-to-… Should only allow a cert to pass verification with BasicConstraints CA == FALSE if the cert is self issued. This is what openssl does. Forgot to include the IP statement for the previous patch. The statement applies to that patch and this one. These patch files are derived from OpenLDAP Software.

(ITS#6744) memory leak when chasing referrals
by arthur＠arthurdejong.org 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

Full_Name: Arthur de Jong Version: 2.4.23 OS: Debian URL: Submission from: (NULL) (2001:888:1613:0:218:8bff:fe55:2c9f) There seems to be a memory leak in the LDAP client library when casing referrals. When the code below is run through valgrind it reports: ==30395== 4,184 (80 direct, 4,104 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 3 of 3 ==30395== at 0x402328F: calloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:467) ==30395== by 0x41D2CDF: ber_memcalloc_x (in /usr/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2.5.6) ==30395== by 0x40650A0: ldap_send_server_request (in /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2.5.6) ==30395== by 0x4065EB1: ldap_chase_v3referrals (in /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2.5.6) ==30395== by 0x40510A3: ldap_result (in /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2.5.6) ==30395== by 0x8048871: main (test.c:28) The code below is not very pretty (does not include error handling) but should free all returned buffers. I can also reproduce the above leak with the ldapsearch command-line tool. Some background: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201012/msg00031.html http://lists.arthurdejong.org/nss-pam-ldapd-users/2010/msg00166.html -----8<-- test.c --8<----- #include <stdio.h> #include <errno.h> #define LDAP_DEPRECATED 1 #include <ldap.h> int main(int argc,char *argv[]) { char *base="dc=test,dc=tld"; char *filter="(objectClass=posixAccount)"; char *attrs[] = { "uid", NULL }; int i; LDAP *ld; LDAPMessage *msg=NULL; int msgid; char **values; /* set up connection */ ldap_initialize(&ld,"ldap://localhost";); i=3; ldap_set_option(ld,LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION,&i); ldap_simple_bind_s(ld,NULL,NULL); /* start search and handle results */ ldap_search_ext(ld,base,LDAP_SCOPE_SUB,filter,attrs, 0,NULL,NULL,NULL,LDAP_NO_LIMIT,&msgid); while (1) { switch (ldap_result(ld,msgid,LDAP_MSG_ONE,NULL,&msg)) { case LDAP_RES_SEARCH_ENTRY: /* we have a normal search entry, print some attribute values */ values=ldap_get_values(ld,msg,attrs[0]); for (i=0;values[i]!=NULL;i++) fprintf(stderr,"%s=%s\n",attrs[0],values[i]); ldap_value_free(values); break; case LDAP_RES_SEARCH_RESULT: /* end of results */ ldap_msgfree(msg); ldap_unbind(ld); return 0; case LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE: break; /* just ignore search references */ default: /* we have some error condition, bail out */ return -1; } ldap_msgfree(msg); } } -----8<-- test.c --8<-----

This is not an OpenLDAP (nor an LDAP) error code, as far as I know. In any case, the ITS is intended to track software bugs and related issues. Usage questions should be addressed to openldap-technical. This ITS will be closed. p.
