[Issue 9577] New: slapd -V should be deprecated
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 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 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. This makes troubleshooting difficult on a webserver, where the low level printf debugging is not practical.

[Issue 9796] New: Deprecate GnuTLS support
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9796 Issue ID: 9796 Summary: Deprecate GnuTLS support Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.1 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: libraries Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- Support for GnuTLS was added specifically for the Debian (and thus Ubuntu) due to the license objections at the time that the Debian project had for the OpenSSL license. Since that time, Debian has reclassified OpenSSL as a core library and the OpenSSL project has resolved the original complaint by licensing OpenSSL 3 and later under the Apache License v2. Thus there is no longer a reason to maintain support for GnuTLS and given the long standing concerns over the security and quality of the GnuTLS bridge in addition to the extra cost of maintaining that code, it should be marked as deprecated and removed in a future release. -- 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

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.

[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 10026] New: Refresh handling can skip entries (si_dirty not managed properly)
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10026 Issue ID: 10026 Summary: Refresh handling can skip entries (si_dirty not managed properly) Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: ondra(a)mistotebe.net Target Milestone: --- Take MPR plain syncrepl with 3+ providers. When a provider's own syncrepl session transitions to persist and a it starts a new parallel session towards another host, that session always has to start as a refresh. If that refresh serves entries to us, our handling of si_dirty is not consistent: - if the existing persist session serves some of these entries to us, we can "forget" to pass the others to a newly connected consumer - same if the refresh is abandoned and we start refreshing from a different provider that might be behind what we were being served (again our consumers could suffer) - if we restart, si_dirty is forgotten and our consumers suffer even worse We might need to be told (at the beginning of the refresh?) what the end state we're going for is, so we can keep si_dirty on until then. And somehow persist that knowledge in the DB... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
