[Issue 9577] New: slapd -V should be deprecated

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 9640] New: ACL privilege for MOD_INCREMENT

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9640 Issue ID: 9640 Summary: ACL privilege for MOD_INCREMENT Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified 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 using LDAP write operations with MOD_INCREMENT with pre-read-control for uidNumber/gidNumber generation. I'd like to limit write access to an Integer attribute "nextID" to MOD_INCREMENT, ideally even restricting the de-/increment value. (Uniqueness is achieved with slapo-unique anyway but still I'd like to avoid users messing with this attribute). IMHO the ideal solution would be a new privilege "i". Example for limiting write access to increment by one and grant read access for using read control: access to attrs=nextID val=1 by group=... =ri Example for decrementing by two without read: access to attrs=nextID val=-2 by group=... =i -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9816] New: slapcat cordeumps during mdb subtree dump with -s

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9816 Issue ID: 9816 Summary: slapcat cordeumps during mdb subtree dump with -s Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5.11 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: khoffmann(a)united-internet.de Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 887 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=887&action=edit gdb backtrace of slapcat run When trying to use slapcat in combination with -b and -s in order to create a LDIF backup of a mdb subtree, slapd crashes with a coredump (please see the attached snippet with gdb output from a reproduced test tree). The problem was reporducible with different mdb databases / suffixes and only appears with option -s. The same dump with -H 'ldap:///ou=users,o=company,c=de??sub?' instead of -s ou=users,o=company,c=de works perfectly fine, as long as the "attrs part" is empty in the ldap-uri. Also using slapcat with -b only (for a full database dump) works fine as well. I'm aware of the fact that -s option is marked as DEPRECATED - I'm not sure if you are going to fix this bug or if you rather take the change to remove the option completely from future major versions. Please let me also know if it's expected behaviour that the -H option doesn't work whenever the attribute part isn't empty and if I should contribute to a documentation update for this edge case.

[Issue 9584] New: cn=config replication ops/refresh should pause server

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9584 Issue ID: 9584 Summary: cn=config replication ops/refresh should pause server Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: ondra(a)mistotebe.net Target Milestone: --- Looking into this crash: https://git.openldap.org/openldap/openldap/-/jobs/7286 The thread in question is running a plain syncrepl refresh while another thread seems to have done the same. This thread fetched the entryUUID attribute of the 'cn=config' entry as 'a' and in the meantime, that entry has been rewritten, with 'a' presumably cleaned up and returned to the pool, so addressing a->a_nvals[0] is a NULL-dereference now. This might or might not be related to the fix in ITS#8102. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9782] New: regression test its8752 failure

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9782 Issue ID: 9782 Summary: regression test its8752 failure Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: ondra(a)mistotebe.net Target Milestone: --- If a contextCSN update (new cookie) goes from server A through server B to server C, server C will use that CSN to update entryCSN as well (which neither A nor B did). This fails the initial replication check. The issue has likely existed since deltasync was made possible, a version of this is confirmed at least in 2.4.60 onwards to current master. In principle, it is related to concerns raised in ITS#9580. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9652] New: Add "tee" capability to load balancer
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 04 Dec '25

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9652 Issue ID: 9652 Summary: Add "tee" capability to load balancer Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: lloadd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: mhardin(a)symas.com Target Milestone: --- This is a request for an enhancement that would add a "tee" or "fan-out" capability to load balancer, where received operations are sent to two or more destinations simultaneously. The primary goal or the enhancement is to make it possible to keep multiple independent and likely dissimilar directory systems in lock-step with each other over hours, days, or possibly even weeks. The enhancement would not necessarily need to include a mechanism for converging the target systems should they become out of sync. This is not intended to be a replication solution, rather it is viewed more as a "copy" solution intended to be used for specific short-term tasks that need multiple directory systems to be exactly synchronized but where replication is not desirable or even possible. At least two uses come to mind: 1. Test harnesses, evaluating side-by-side operation of separate directory systems over time 2. Directory system transition validation harnesses 3. (maybe) Part of a test harness to record or replay LDAP workloads * Other uses? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
