[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 9305] New: ldap_connect_to_host: Return code from getaddrinfo() discarded, troubleshooting difficult

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9305 Issue ID: 9305 Summary: ldap_connect_to_host: Return code from getaddrinfo() discarded, troubleshooting difficult Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.4.46 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: client tools Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: minfrin(a)sharp.fm Target Milestone: --- When the ldap_connect_to_host() function sees a failure from getaddrinfo(), the meaningless return code -1 is returned.

[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

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 9902] New: Make max index DBs for back-mdb configurable

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9902 Issue ID: 9902 Summary: Make max index DBs for back-mdb configurable Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: backends Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- From ITS#9895: Currently there is a hardcoded limit of 128 index DBs in back-mdb. Some sites want more than this (although there's no evidence they actually use more than 128 attributes in all of their applications' search filters). For 2.5/2.6 we can simply double the constant. For 2.7 consider making it configurable. Note that increasing the number increases the size of an LMDB transaction structure, and also increases the time needed to initialize it whenever creating a transaction, so it's a bad idea to just set this to an arbitrarily large number. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9881] New: Ability to track last authentication for database objects
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 04 Dec '25

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9881 Issue ID: 9881 Summary: Ability to track last authentication for database objects Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- For simple binds, we have the ability to track the last success via the lastbind functionality (pwdLastSuccess attribute). However this doesn't allow one to see when an object that exists in a database last authenticated via SASL. It would be useful to add similar functionality for SASL binds. This can be useful information that allows one to tell if an object is being actively authenticated to (generally, users and system accounts, etc). Obviously if something is directly mapped to an identity that doesn't exist in the underlying DB, that cannot be tracked. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9829] New: set timeouts in remoteauth overlay
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 04 Dec '25

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9829 Issue ID: 9829 Summary: set timeouts in remoteauth overlay Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: david.coutadeur(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Currently, it seems there is no way to configure timeouts in the remoteauth overlay. For example, if I define a remoteauth_mapping with a file containing a list of hostnames, the first one is checked first. After "remoteauth_retry_count" * "connect_timeout" seconds, (210s on my system), remoteauth test the second server in the list. In some circumstances, it could be nice to set the connect timeout lower (or higher). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
