(ITS#7015) slapd.ldif example file not installed

by andrew.findlay＠skills-1st.co.uk

Full_Name: Andrew Findlay Version: 2.4.26 OS: OpenSuSE 11.4 URL: Submission from: (NULL) (2a01:348:28c:1:222:68ff:fe15:3346) slapdconf2.sdf says: The distribution contains an example configuration file that will be installed in the {{F: /usr/local/etc/openldap}} directory. There is an example file in the source: servers/slapd/slapd.ldif but it is not installed anywhere. The corresponding slapd.conf example does get installed, so this one should probably go alongside it.

Re: (ITS#7008) paged results against ldap-proxy errors with 'cookie is invalid'

by masarati＠aero.polimi.it

First of all, I believe the real problem is that pr should not be used by the client in the first place. However, the cause of the issue might be something slightly different: back-ldap uses a pool of connections for special identities, including anonymous and rootdn; the latter is the case when identity assertion is used. So it seems plausible that although the client uses the same connection for repeated paged results requests, the proxy is using different ones. We already discussed the possibility to specially handle pr in proxies, in order to decouple its use by the client and the remote server. If slapd handles pr in the frontend, a proxy does not need to propagate pr requests to the remote server. Similarly, if a remote server *needs* pr, the client must not necessarily know about it. Something like this has already been implemented in back-meta(5), which can be instructed to silently continue unsolicited pr responses without informing the client about them (I should have ported this to back-ldap(5) as well). If this is the case (need to investigate in detail, yet), a quick fix could be to detect the presence of pr on a request, and bind the cookie to a specific connection until that cookie is gone. One thing that could be tried is to use slapo-sssvlv(5) on top of back-ldap and let it deal with the pr request. p.

Re: (ITS#7007) sync: inconsistent directory when starting with emtpy node

by steffo76＠gmx.de

I'm sorry, in the meantime I found out that the binddn I used didn't have full access so the empty node couldn't get all attributes and then the broken directory got replicated back to the initial node. It was just a configuration problem on my part. Sorry again.

I don't remember any particular reason why the argument count was omitted here. Looking back over release 2.2 I don't see any special provision for multiple arguments. I.e., it doesn't look like we need to accomodate longer argument lists here. And I don't see why we would want to NULL out any existing settings. Sounds like we should just require argc == 2. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

If this behavior > needs to be preserved, I have the right fix handy. Otherwise it might > need more work. To be more specific: slapd's TLS configuration is registered without enforcing a specific number of arguments. This check is delegated to the underlying calls to ldap_pvt_tls_set_option() performed by config_tls_option(). This poses two problems: - since the argument of these parameters is ARG_STRING, if no arg is passed then ch_strdup() fails - fixing this (by skipping ch_strdup() if argc == 1, for example) results in calling ldap_pvt_tls_set_option with a NULL value, which is a perfectly legitimate value (it means: clear any existing value), but it may not be appropriate in this context. Please advise whether the right fix is skip ch_strdup(), or enforcing a requirement for argc == 2 for TLS-related fields. p.

No, thanks. The problem is that these specific statements do not prescribe a fixed number of arguments. Moreover, the function that uses the value resets the field when passed a NULL argument. If this behavior needs to be preserved, I have the right fix handy. Otherwise it might need more work. p.
