[Issue 9612] New: Change index_hash64 default to on
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9612 Issue ID: 9612 Summary: Change index_hash64 default to on Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- Change the default value of index_hash64. By default this means slapd won't run on a 32-bit CPU (It will continue to work on 32-bit OSes running on 64-bit CPUs). If someone needs to run slapd on a 32-bit CPU they can turn this option off. In the documentation, mark the option as deprecated for eventual removal in a future release. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9186 Bug ID: 9186 Summary: RFE: More metrics in cn=monitor Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: backends Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: michael(a)stroeder.com Target Milestone: --- Currently I'm grepping metrics from syslog with mtail: https://gitlab.com/ae-dir/ansible-ae-dir-server/-/blob/master/templates/mta… With a new binary logging this is not possible anymore. Thus it would be nice if cn=monitor provides more metrics. 1. Overall connection count per listener starting at 0 when started. This would be a simple counter added to: entries cn=Listener 0,cn=Listeners,cn=Monitor 2. Counter for the various "deferring" messages separated by the reason for deferring. 3. Counters for all possible result codes. In my mtail program I also label it with the result type. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Issue 9431] New: back-mdb: Always have an equality index for objectClass
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9431 Issue ID: 9431 Summary: back-mdb: Always have an equality index for objectClass Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: backends Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- Data storage backends require an equality index on objectClass to function correctly. As this is a hard requirement it should be automatic with back-mdb. Why this wasn't done in the past with other backends isn't exactly clear, it may have been due to their requirements to have additional cache layers. That however is not necessary with back-mdb. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Bug 9204] New: slapo-constraint allows anyone to apply Relax control
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9204 Bug ID: 9204 Summary: slapo-constraint allows anyone to apply Relax control Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.4.49 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: ryan(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- slapo-constraint doesn't limit who can use the Relax control, beyond the global limits applied by slapd. In practice, for many modifications this means any configured constraints are advisory only. In my opinion this should be considered a bug, in design if not implementation. I expect many admins would not read the man page closely enough to realize the behaviour does technically adhere to the letter of what's written there. Either slapd should require manage privileges for the Relax control globally, or slapo-constraint should perform a check for manage privilege itself, like slapo-unique does. Quoting ando in https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5705#c4: > Well, a user with "manage" privileges on related data could bypass > constraints enforced by slapo-constraint(5) by using the "relax" > control. The rationale is that a user with manage privileges could be > able to repair an entry that needs to violate a constraint for good > reasons. Note that the user: > > - must have enough privileges to do it (manage) > > - must inform the DSA that intends to violate the constraint (by using > the control) but such privileges are currently not being required. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 9244] New: API calls blocking after async connect
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9244 Bug ID: 9244 Summary: API calls blocking after async connect Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.4.49 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: libraries Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: ryan(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 721 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=721&action=edit async connect test without TLS My understanding of LDAP_OPT_CONNECT_ASYNC is that the attached program should not block. If the connection does not establish fast enough, the bind call is supposed to return LDAP_X_CONNECTING. (At least that's how I understand it, based on the original behaviour (circa 2.4.23 up to 2.4.40) as well as the bind loop in back-meta. On the other hand, the man page does "Subsequent calls to library routines will poll for completion of the connect before performing further operations" which might be interpreted as meaning they would block...) In current releases it does block, as demonstrated by strace on Linux (latency added using 'tc qdisc'): [...] connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(389), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.1.204")}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress) write(3, "0\f\2\1\1`\7\2\1\3\4\0\200\0", 14) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLOUT|POLLERR|POLLHUP}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLOUT}]) write(3, "0\f\2\1\1`\7\2\1\3\4\0\200\0", 14) = 14 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN}]) read(3, "0\f\2\1\1a\7\n", 8) = 8 read(3, "\1\0\4\0\4\0", 6) = 6 write(2, "OK: ldap_simple_bind_returned 0 "..., 42OK: ldap_simple_bind_returned 0 (Success) ) = 42 [...] As discussed in IRC, I believe I bisected this down to commit ae6347bac, from bug 8022. The reasoning is sound, but ldap_int_open_connection does not actually return -2, only -1 or 0. The patch is simple enough, but I'm also looking at some later commits that were probably done to work around this, and might not be needed now (bug 8957, bug 8968, bug 8980). Also need to test all setups thoroughly (ldap, ldaps, STARTTLS, not to mention back-meta/asyncmeta). I also notice that LDAP_OPT_CONNECT_ASYNC is not effective unless LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT is also set. It might be intentional, but the man page doesn't mention this specifically, and I don't see why it would be necessary... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Issue 9577] New: slapd -V should be deprecated
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9577 Issue ID: 9577 Summary: slapd -V should be deprecated Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: smckinney(a)symas.com Target Milestone: --- Sometimes a user's (present one included) ignorance gets them in trouble unnecessarily. The -V option is an example... Normally, when one wants to determine the version of a process, they use -V, or perhaps -v. With slapd, the daemon actually continues to run, which can have negative consequences. The doc clearly states that -VV is probably what the user wants, but is counter-intutive. Who RTFM's before checking the version? -V print version info (-VV exit afterwards, -VVV print info about static overlays and backends) I propose we eliminate the option to allow slapd to continue running after displaying the version. Perhaps we eliminate the -V option entirely, or just make it work the same as -VV. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9493] New: slapo-accesslog handling of deletion of multi-valued configuration attributes removes wrong value from list
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9493 Issue ID: 9493 Summary: slapo-accesslog handling of deletion of multi-valued configuration attributes removes wrong value from list Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.4.57 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: svella(a)technologist.com Target Milestone: --- I observed this in the debugger while working on a small feature addition to slapo-accesslog. log_cf_gen(), when handling the initial configuration of oldAccessLogOldAttr (accesslog.c:989), linked list li_oldattrs is being built by inserting each value in order at the head of the list, resulting in the list being in reverse order. But when handling LDAP_MOD_DELETE of same attribute (accesslog.c:989), it is using the index of the removed value (valx) to find and removed the entry in the linked list, but it's counting from the head of li_oldattrs and not the tail, resulting in the wrong item being removed from the list unless counting from the head or the tail happens find the same item. (Line numbers refer to commit 6c469f07935e351e349bf38fc223dab704c51a76) Handling of oldAccessLogBase appears to have the same problem, and a cursory glance through the source of other overlays reveals a similar pattern, and I'm guessing the same problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9556] New: slapd-config should return invalidAttributeSyntax if parsing schema description fails
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9556 Issue ID: 9556 Summary: slapd-config should return invalidAttributeSyntax if parsing schema description fails Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5.4 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: michael(a)stroeder.com Target Milestone: --- I'm currently testing error handling and interacting with LDAP clients (e.g. my web2ldap). Sending an invalid attribute type description results in an error (as expected) returned by slapd-config: RESULT tag=103 err=80 qtime=0.000032 etime=0.001271 text=olcAttributeTypes: Unexpected token before SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 ) But result code other(80) seems not very useful. It's too unspecific to decide on specific error handling. It would be much more useful if slapd-config returns invalidAttributeSyntax(21) in this case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
