Stack trace of segfault
I have an openldap 2.6.2 server "ldap1" with the following DIT:
dc=example,dc=com (back-mdb)
ou=users
ou=local
cn=admin
cn=sync
...
ou=remote (back-ldap -> ldaps://dc1.example.com)
...
Local user entries are created under subtree
"ou=local,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com", and the subtree
"ou=remote,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com" is a proxy to an Active Directory server
"dc1.example.com" (subtree "ou=users,dc=ad,dc=example,dc=com").
The concrete configuration is as follows:
----------------
dn: olcDatabase={2}ldap,cn=config
objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig
objectClass: olcLDAPConfig
olcDatabase: {2}ldap
olcSuffix: ou=remote,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com

----------------
So far, so good. A subtree search on "ou=users,dc=example,dc=com" returns both
local and remote users.
But when I create the second server "ldap2" with similar configuration and
configure refreshAndPersist replication, I run into a problem.
(1) When I configure on "ldap1" server,
----------------
dn: olcOverlay={0}syncprov,olcDatabase={3}mdb,cn=config
objectClass: olcOverlayConfig
objectClass: olcSyncProvConfig
olcOverlay: {0}syncprov
----------------
and on "ldap2" server,
----------------
dn: olcDatabase={3}mdb,cn=config
changeType: modify
replace: olcSyncrepl
olcSyncrepl: {0}rid=301
provider="ldap://ldap1/"
bindmethod=simple
binddn="cn=sync,ou=local,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"
credentials=secret
searchbase="dc=example,dc=com"
type=refreshAndPersist
retry="5 12 60 +" timeout=1
----------------
the initial refresh stage fails.
(a) Whith the above configuration, the refresh failes with "(48) Inappropriate
authentication", because the bind DN
"cn=sync,ou=local,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com" does not have access to the
subordinate database.
(b) When I add "cn=sync,ou=local,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com" to the ID
assertion list on "ldap1" server,
----------------
dn: olcDatabase={2}ldap,cn=config
changeType: modify
add: olcDbIDAssertAuthzFrom
olcDbIDAssertAuthzFrom: {2}dn.exact:cn=sync,ou=local,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
----------------
the refresh fails with "(12) Critical extension is unavailable", because Active
Directory does not support Sync Request Control.
(c) Even if the remote server supports Sync Request Control, the refresh fails
with the message "server sent multiple refreshDone messages? Ending session".
The refreshDone messages are sent twice, one for the sperior databese and the
other for the subordinate database.
(d) If I delete olcSubordinate attribute and restart slapd on "ldap1" server,
----------------
dn: olcDatabase={2}ldap,cn=config
changeType: modify
delete: olcSubordinate
----------------
then the refresh stage completes successfully.
Once the persistent session is established, I can add olcSubordinate attribute
again.
----------------
dn: olcDatabase={2}ldap,cn=config
changeType: modify
add: olcSubordinate
olcSubordinate: TRUE
----------------
When I modify entries in the subordinate database on "ldap1" server, no change
notification is sent to "ldap2" server.
This is the desired behavior, but if I restart slapd on "ldap1" server, the
refresh starts failing again.
(2) When I configure the glue overlay explicitly before the syncprov overlay,
as described in "man slapd-config",
----------------
dn: olcOverlay={0}glue,olcDatabase={3}mdb,cn=config
objectClass: olcOverlayConfig
objectClass: olcConfig
olcOverlay: {0}glue
dn: olcOverlay={1}syncprov,olcDatabase={3}mdb,cn=config
objectClass: olcOverlayConfig
objectClass: olcSyncProvConfig
olcOverlay: {1}syncprov
----------------
the refresh stage completes successfully without attempting to search the
subordinate database.
This is fine because I do not need to synchronize the subordinate database
between "ldap1" and "ldap2" servers.
However, when I modify an entry in the subordinate database on "ldap1" server,
slapd crashes by segmentation fault. See the attached file for stack trace.
After some research, I found that the cause of the crash is as follows:
In syncprov_matchops(), it attempts to get the modified entry with DN =
op->o_req_ndn.
But since op->o_req_ndn has been rewritten in the rmw overlay,
glue_back_select() incorrectly selects the mdb backend, which should be the
ldap backend.
At this point, op->o_bd->be_private holds a value of type ldapinfo_t, but
mdb_entry_get() tries to interpret it as type struct mdb_info, causing a
segfault.
In summary, the problem is:
When I configure refreshAndPersist synchronization for a database with a
subordinate ldap backend using DN rewriting,
(1) The subordinate database cannot be excluded from both refresh and
persistent stage of the synchronization:
When the glue overlay is not explicitly configured:
- In the refresh stage, the subordinate database is included in the search.
- In the persist stage, the subordinate database is excluded from the
synchronization.
When the glue overlay is explicitly configured before the syncprov overlay:
- In the refresh stage, the subordinate database is excluded from the
search.
- In the persist stage, the subordinate database is included in the
synchronization.
This seems to be inconsistent.
(2) If the subordinate database is included in the refresh stage, the refresh
fails for one of the following reasons:
- the syncrepl user is not allowed to access the subordinate database
- the remote server does not support Sync Request Control
- multiple refreshDone messages are returned
The refresh stage completes successfully if olcSubordinate attribute is deleted
from the subordinate database.
olcSubordinate attribute can be added again once the persistent session is
established, but the refresh stage starts failing again if slapd is restarted.
(3) If the subordinate database is included in the persist stage, modifying
entries in the subordinate database causes slapd to crash.
