Re: (ITS#8378) idlcache in back hdb doesn't update existing caches on a subtree rename, causing bad search results

by jonathan＠phillipoux.net

The patch I originally sent works only for MODRDN operations, but causes a segfault on plain old ADD operations in some cases. This is caused by the hdb_dn2id_children function trying to update dkids inside a non-initialised structure. I figure that if we don't have the structure we don't need to update it, since this function is mostly a "search" function. Hope that makes sense. A new patch is here: ftp://www.openldap.org/incoming/openldap-dn2id-modrdn-idlcache-sub-delete... Jonathan

Re: (ITS#8303) An Asynchronous meta back-end for OpenLDAP

by nivanova＠symas.com

This patch fixes a problem in the closing of timed-out connections to targets in back-asyncmeta. If a a_metaconn is still in use for another target, the connections to other targets might not be reset while the mc is still active, even if these targets are no longer in use. This patch introduces counters for pending operations per a_metasingleconn, and resets a metasingleconn if it has timed out and has no pending operations. ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/nadezhda-ivanova-160229.patch

(ITS#8378) idlcache in back hdb doesn't update existing caches on a subtree rename, causing bad search results

by jonathan＠phillipoux.net

Full_Name: Jonathan Clarke Version: 2.4.44 OS: GNU/Linux URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (176.182.31.158) Hi there, I found a bug in the handling of idl_cache when doing a MODRDN operation on an entry with children. The existing code to add an entry in hdb_dn2id_add (dn2id.c) cleverly updates any existing IDL caches on the new parent and any grand-parents, both for "one" and "sub" level searches by adding the new entry in those cache lists. However, if you MODRDN an entry that also has children, this same hdb_dn2id_add function is called, and will erroneously update the "sub" level search caches on the new parent and any grand-parents, adding only the new entry, and not it's children. The result is that a search that hits that IDL cache will return partial results, including the entry that was moved, but missing it's children. You can observe this behaviour by compiling a standard OpenLDAP server, configuring a simple hdb backend, including a non-zero idlcachesize and running the following commands: 1) ldapadd < tesldldif 2) ldapsearch -b "ou=Accepted Inventories,ou=Inventories,cn=rudder-configuration" -s sub objectClass=organizationalUnit 3) ldapmodrdn -s "ou=Accepted Inventories,ou=Inventories,cn=rudder-configuration" "ou=1234,ou=Pending Inventories,ou=Inventorie2C2Ccn=rudder-configuration" "ou=1234" 4) ldapsearch -b "ou=Accepted Inventories,ou=Inventories,cn=rudder-configuration" -s sub objectClass=organizationalUnit It is important to run the initial search in step 2, before the MODRDN operation itself, to ensure an IDL cache entry is created for that search. The final search in step 4 will not show the sub-entry ou=1234-sub,ou=1234. The test.ldif file is here: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/test.ldif I've created a quick'n'dirty patch to hide this issue, which detects the situation (if adding an entry that already has children, this is when the bug occurs) and simply removes the IDL cache to avoid future searches using it. It's available here: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/openldap-dn2id-modrdn-idlcache-sub-delete.... A better solution would probably be to write the code to add each child of the new entry to existing caches, but I couldn't immediately see how to do this. Hopefully my patch above will easily show where this needs doing. Regards, Jonathan

(ITS#8377) Normalized 'olcDbIndex' values

by michael＠stroeder.com

Full_Name: Version: master OS: URL: Submission from: (NULL) (213.240.182.49) A suggestion for 2.5: Index lines read from slapd.conf should be converted to normalized 'olcDbIndex' values. With this approach it would be possible to determine index configuration for a certain attribute type. Likewise the format of accepted attribute values should be constrained. Example from slapd.conf: index foo,bar eq,sub would be normalized to 4 values: olcDbIndex: foo eq olcDbIndex: foo sub olcDbIndex: bar eq olcDbIndex: bar sub

(ITS#8376) Use getaddrinfo to resolve FQDN

(ITS#8375) paged results control results in full db search?

by geert＠hendrickx.be

Full_Name: Geert Hendrickx Version: 2.4.44 OS: Linux URL: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201602/msg00094.html Submission from: (NULL) (2a02:1810:4d03:d00:18e9:3ca5:a68f:c7f4) We found an odd issue when using LDAP Admin (www.ldapadmin.org), which by defaults uses the paged results control (RFC 2696) to limit search results. This client initially issues an objectclass=* search with one-level scope to list the first-level objects/trees on the LDAP DIT, which you can then browse/expand by clicking on them. On a large db, we noticed this initial search hits the timelimit, even though the equivalent command line search is instant. I found the difference is in using the paged result control: ldapsearch -s one -E \!pr=100 objectclass=\* objectclass => slow ldapsearch -s one objectclass=\* objectclass => fast The slapd stats+trace logging of each is in attachment. Notice the large number of objects being skipped with "scope not okay" in the first, where this does not happen in the second. This slows down the search, and on a very large db, makes it exceed the configured 60 seconds timelimit. A third variant, setting the sizelimit explicitly, avoids the issue: ldapsearch -s one -E \!pr=100 -z 100 objectclass=\* objectclass => fast Is this expected behaviour?

RE: (ITS#8374) LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT handling differences between ldaps:// and STARTTLS

by dog＠pavlov.com

Ok, retested with latest code built from source. I also reconfirmed using a publicly available openldap server, to make sure it isn't something stupid I am doing locally. So you can reproduce easily, the test pseudo code is: ldap_initialize (ldaps://ldap.andrew.cmu.edu) ldap_set_option LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT (enumerate options) ldap_sasl_bind_s ldap_initialize (ldap://128.2.11.104) ldap_set_option LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT (enumerate options) ldap_start_tls_s ldap_sasl_bind_s The results are: Server with valid certificate, all values of LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT for both ldaps and ldap+starttls connect. This is what I would expect. Server with invalid certificate (IP does not match the cert FQDN), only NEVER and ALLOW values of LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT succeed for ldaps (this is what I would expect) however all values of LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT for ldap+starttls succeed, which is not what I would expect: I think that the certificate check should fail the connection, as per the ldaps behaviour.

RE: (ITS#8374) LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT handling differences between ldaps:// and STARTTLS

by dog＠pavlov.com

Hi, This is a piece of code that I'm working on, rather than any bundled commands. The code works just fine (has for months) however I noticed in unit testing the operations empirically that the LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT option was handled differently depending on whether the TLS was provided implicitly over an ldaps: URI, or explicitly on an ldap: URI with STARTTLS. The pseudo sequence of functions is as follows: ldap_initialize ldap_set_option (various) if uri != ldaps: then ldap_start_tls_s ldap_sasl_bind_s Martin...

What commands are you testing with? Are you using STARTTLS as a critical extension? If not, failures will be ignored.
