[Issue 9881] New: Ability to track last authentication for database objects

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

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.

[Issue 9652] New: Add "tee" capability to load balancer

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.

[Issue 9731] New: startup messages still go to syslog when logfile-only is on

[Issue 9726] New: Admin guide and man pages need better documentation on disabling syslog

However, there is no documentation on the new settings or examples of how to do this in the admin guide, and the man page sections on the new parameters for the logfile side do not note at when/how they enable bypassing syslog. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9564] New: Race condition with freeing the spilled pages from transaction
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 04 Nov '25

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9564 Issue ID: 9564 Summary: Race condition with freeing the spilled pages from transaction Product: LMDB Version: 0.9.29 Hardware: Other OS: Mac OS Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: kriszyp(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 825 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=825&action=edit Free the spilled pages and dirty overflows before unlocking the write mutex The spilled pages (a transaction's mt_spill_pgs) is freed *after* a write transaction's mutex is unlocked (in mdb.master3). This can result in a race condition where a second transaction can start and subsequently assign a new mt_spill_pgs list to the transaction structure that it reuses. If this occurs after the first transaction unlocks the mutex, but before it performs the free operation on mt_spill_pgs, then the first transaction will end up calling a free on the same spilled page list as the second transaction, resulting in a double free (and crash). It would seem to be an extremely unlikely scenario to actually happen, since the free call is literally the next operation after the mutex is unlocked, and the second transaction would need to make it all the way to the point of saving the freelist before a page spill list is likely to be allocated. Consequently, this probably has rarely happened. However, one of our users (see https://github.com/DoctorEvidence/lmdb-store/issues/48 for the discussion) has noticed this occurring, and it seems that it may be particularly likely to happen on MacOS on the new M1 silicon. Perhaps there is some peculiarity to how the threads are more likely to yield execution after a mutex unlock, I am not sure. I was able to reproduce the issue by intentionally manipulating the timing (sleeping before the free) to verify that the race condition is technically feasible, and apparently this can happen "in the wild" on MacOS, at least with an M1. It is also worth noting that this is due to (or a regression from) the fix for ITS#9155 (https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb/commit/cb256f409bb53efeda4ac69ee8165a0b4fc1a277) where the free call was moved outside the conditional (for having a parent) that had previously never been executed after the mutex is unlocked, but now is called after the unlock. Anyway, the solution is relatively simple, the free call simply has to be moved above the unlock. In my patch, I also moved the free call for mt_dirty_ovs. I am not sure what OVERFLOW_NOTYET/mt_dirty_ovs is for, but presumably it should be handled the same. This could alternately be solved by saving the reference to these lists before unlocking, and freeing after unlocking, which would slightly decrease the amount of processing within the mutex guarded code. Let me know if you prefer a patch that does that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10092] New: Local logging doesn't build on Windows

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10092 Issue ID: 10092 Summary: Local logging doesn't build on Windows Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.6 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: hyc(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- slapd/logging.c uses writev() to write a prefix and the log message together in one call. This feature doesn't exist on Windows. The closest equivalent, WriteFileGather, only works on page sized and aligned writes. On Windows the only way to write as desired is to copy the message into a new buffer first. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
