Interesting. FWIW, the code is packaged by RHEL and Fedora, and is in use by several projects. > Even if it were to be used, the patch would break slapd; your > getnameinfo patch changes the format of the peername string.

Here's a new patch without the slapd change: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/stef-walter-131010.patch Cheers, Stef

Thanks. These tests are passing now. @Quanah: Would be nice if this last fix could be also ported to RE24. Thanks in advance. Ciao, Michael.

Even if it were to be used, the patch would break slapd; your getnameinfo patch changes the format of the peername string. The format of this string is not arbitrary, it's used in ACLs and the format is documented in slapd.access(5). In the future, write patches that fix one single issue.

The CLDAP code is a remnant from pre-LDAPv3, there was no such thing as IPv6 when it was written, so no, this has never worked with IPv6. Who still uses CLDAP today? This code has no valid reason to exist any more. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

With current master and re24 which have the fix for this ITS I now see seg faults in test023-refint test057-memberof-refint.

Additionally consider partial replication where only a subset of group entries is present on a certain consumer. One would not want to have 'memberOf' point to group entries not really existing on that consumer. => 'memberOf' is definitely DSA-specific. Ciao, Michael.

This is working as > designed. IIRC attribute 'memberOf' was replicated in former releases. So it was not DSA-specific back then. Then the behaviour was changed in a more recent OpenLDAP release. Nowadays each replica has to be configured with slapo-memberof performing *local* operations. Therefore I'd argue that 'memberOf' should be marked DSA-specific now since the *local* configuration is significant for its content. Note that there is no formal specification for attribute 'memberOf' at all. I have deployments where most users are member of more than 10 groups, sometimes more than 20. So not sending 'memberOf' could save quite a lot of network traffic. What are your objections against marking 'memberOf' as DSA-specific? (I vaguely remember this being discussed before without result though.) Ciao, Michael.

It's > harmless. Hmm, wouldn't it be reasonable to strip those attributes marked as non-replication attrs when generating syncrepl search results at the provider? (Even if consumer asks for attrs=*,+) Ciao, Michael.
