In 15 years no one else has ever remarked on this, why is this even worth discussing? At any rate, the added text is incorrect. Technically, "the first database in the configuration that supports the requested operation" is used. E.g., if back-monitor is the first DB in the config, it is skipped. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

Sure. Indeed, it could not be associated with accesslog (invalid DN needs to be detected way before a database can be selected). Such a case would belong to some "debugging" layer (e.g. client-server interaction troubleshooting), which BTW I'm convinced the current logging is more than enough for. p. -- Pierangelo Masarati Associate Professor Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Aerospaziali Politecnico di Milano

Still not something useful for slapo-accesslog - we're storing log info as LDAP attributes. We can't store reqDN if the DN has invalid syntax. We can't store reqMod values if the attributetype is unknown or the values are invalid. When a request fails validation it's literally garbage, and toxic - cannot be considered safe to preserve in a DB. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

It now comes to my mind that another perhaps less intrusive chance of intervention could be to act at the *response* level. Think of: - the possibility to stack code in the response chain (not necessarily overlays) - have a way to understand if the response originates *before* the frontend was called In this case, the custom code could re-parse the request to re-detect why it failed and handle it (e.g. log custom information on failure reason).

In terms of code architecture, overlays have been designed to work on validated data (the request must be well formed). To this end, the notion of "frontend" database was added to make it possible to layer an overlay *before* backend selection. To have a custom piece of code muck with a request before it is validated (or even before it is parsed) you need to split the code into: - parsing, without doing any sanity check - allow custom code to step in - do validation afterwards This does not necessarily imply performance penalty (when no custom code steps in, the amount of operations would be the same for sane requests; in case of malformed requests, you would miss the opportunity to bail out on the first inconsistency). However, it would imply significant refactorization of the current code, without (IMHO) a strong motivation for it: malformed requests are already handled in terms of response to clients, and somehow logged. An (expensive) alternative would be to register a handler at connection level which duplicates the parsing to anticipate checking for errors that would be detected before passing control to the frontend. Not the way I'd go, unless strictly necessary. A paranoid but intriguing alternative would be to implement an operation mode that keeps parsing after the first error is detected, turning the operation into a no-op. Again, lots of refactorization and error handling and so on (for example, what if a syntax, an attribute description or a matching rule is not found? You'd always have to check that the corresponding pointer is not NULL before using it, whereas right now we often assume that if execution got there, data must be consistent. Of course, we could introduce dummy syntaxes "NonExistingSyntax", ..., but we'd probably need to define their semantics in such a way that they apply to every case we need to handle and so).

Hmm, I've done some more tests. Invalid syntax (21) also does not make it beyond the frontend into accesslog-DB. I have no clear opinion on this. Of course the current behaviour is good for performance. But sometimes one would like to observe what broken LDAP clients sent in a modify request in the past. Also running with BER loglevel or breaking up the TLS connection with stunnel and sniff with Wireshark is not always an option. Having this configurable would be great. What's your opinion on this?
