[Issue 9782] New: regression test its8752 failure
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 08 Sep '26

08 Sep '26

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 9272] New: Invalid search results for subordinate/glued database
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 08 Sep '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9272 Issue ID: 9272 Summary: Invalid search results for subordinate/glued database Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.4.47 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: grapvar(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Here is a trivial test case. Look at the following bunch of glued dit's/databases, declared in this order: | suffix ou=a,ou=1,ou=T # subordinate; contains only one (top-level) entry | suffix ou=2,ou=T # subordinate; contains only one (top-level) entry | suffix ou=b,ou=1,ou=T # subordinate; contains only one (top-level) entry | suffix ou=T # master database, has two entries, top-level | ` ou=1 # ... and this child entry let's query the united database: | $ ldapsearch -b ou=1,ou=T -s sub '' nx | dn: ou=1,ou=T | dn: ou=a,ou=1,ou=T | dn: ou=b,ou=1,ou=T Nice! But wait, what if ... | $ ldapsearch -b ou=1,ou=T -s sub -E\!pr=2/noprompt '' nx | dn: ou=1,ou=T | dn: ou=a,ou=1,ou=T | | # pagedresults: cookie=//////////8= ... BANG! ... | Server is unwilling to perform (53) The problem is the glue_op_search(), which has issues * different parts of code make different assumptions about data structures * different parts of code track state inconsistently * code that looks like a highly probably dead code I mean that likely possible to build another bug-triggering test cases, and glue_op_search() needs not just a fix of the bug above, but intense cleaning and structuring. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9596 Issue ID: 9596 Summary: Python test suite Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: build Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: ondra(a)mistotebe.net Target Milestone: --- The bash test suite is extremely limited, hard to write for and slow. We can't lose it as it is also portable, but something should be introduced for developers/CI on more modern systems and increase coverage. A Python 3 seed for one is in development in MR!347. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9398 Issue ID: 9398 Summary: Stale accesslog cookie due to unclean shutdown Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.4.56 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- If slapd terminates uncleanly, a checkpoint will be lost on the accesslog db. Depending on the syncprov overlay checkpoint settings (usually no checkpointing is enabled on the accesslog db) this can cause the system to refuse engage in replication at startup. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Bug 9256] New: The ACLs required for SASL binding are not fully documented
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 08 Sep '26

08 Sep '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9256 Bug ID: 9256 Summary: The ACLs required for SASL binding are not fully documented Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: documentation Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: kop(a)karlpinc.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 727 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=727&action=edit Patch massaging the SASL binding requirement docs While some ACL requirements for SASL binding are documented, some are not. E.g, that olcAuthzRegexp requires =x on objectClass when direct DN mapping is not documented. Other requirements can be reasoned out based on the existing documentation, but this can be very difficult when unfamiliar with all the moving parts and the places they are documented. E.g. knowing that (objectClass=*) is the default filter, and that there's _always_ _some_ filter, and connecting this with ACLs required to do search-based SASL mapping. The attached patch brings all the SASL binding requirements together in one place in the docs and makes everything explicit. The word "SASL" is included, for those searching for that keyword.

[Issue 10086] New: test059 does not set up valid cn=config replication

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10086 Issue ID: 10086 Summary: test059 does not set up valid cn=config replication Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.4 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: test suite Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- For cn=config replication to be valid, the entryUUIDs must match throughout the config database. However, this is not the case when test059 executes. The entryUUID for 'dn: cn=config' differs between the two. Example: quanah@apito1:~/git/quanah/openldap-scratch/tests/testrun$ grep entryUUID: cfcon.d/cn\=config.ldif entryUUID: aea058c4-bf6e-103d-9e18-4582986e9372 quanah@apito1:~/git/quanah/openldap-scratch/tests/testrun$ grep entryUUID: db.1.a/cn\=config\,cn\=consumer.ldif entryUUID: ae9bd858-bf6e-103d-871e-5daccf782d22 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9786 Issue ID: 9786 Summary: liblber: missing export of ber_pvt_wsa_err2string Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.1 Hardware: All OS: Windows Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: libraries Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: tobias.junghans(a)veyon.io Target Milestone: --- When building (cross-compiling) OpenLDAP via GCC/mingw-w64, an undefined reference to ber_pvt_wsa_err2string() is reported when libldap.dll is linked. This can be fixed easily by adding ber_pvt_wsa_err2string() to libraries/liblber/lber.map -- 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
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

07 Aug '26

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 9972] New: SSS needs READ instead of SEARCH access
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9972 Issue ID: 9972 Summary: SSS needs READ instead of SEARCH access Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.3 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: dpa-openldap(a)aegee.org Target Milestone: --- I have configured an OpenLDAP 2.6 server with dn: olcDatabase=mdb,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig objectClass: olcMdbConfig olcDatabase: mdb olcAccess: to dn="cn=bodies,dc=aegee,dc=org" by * search # no problem if this is READ olcAccess: to dn.sub="dc=aegee,dc=org" by * read … dn: olcOverlay=sssvlv,olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config objectClass:olcOverlayConfig The content of the tree is available anymously by calling ldapsearch -ZZxH ldap://ldap.aegee.org -b "dc=aegee,dc=org" -s sub . When I modify the call to use SSS: ldapsearch -ZxH ldap://ldap.aegee.org -b "dc=aegee,dc=org" -s sub -E sss=ou:2.5.13.15 it also returns results, but ends with ``` # search result search: 93 result: 50 Insufficient access # numResponses: 3 # numEntries: 2 ``` When I modify above: olcAccess: to dn="cn=bodies,dc=aegee,dc=org" by * read then the access is sufficient. There is no entry called "dn:cn=bodies,dc=aegee,dc=org", or rather the entry shall not be returned on searches and `ldapsearch -ZxH ldap://ldap.aegee.org -b "dc=aegee,dc=org" -s sub` does not return it. These work without a problem: ldapsearch -ZxH ldap://ldap.aegee.org -b "cn=bodies,dc=aegee,dc=org" -s one -E sss=ou:2.5.13.15 ldapsearch -ZxH ldap://ldap.aegee.org -b "cn=bodies,dc=aegee,dc=org" -s sub ldapsearch -ZxH ldap://ldap.aegee.org -b "cn=bodies,dc=aegee,dc=org" -s one This produces Insufficient access: ldapsearch -ZxH ldap://ldap.aegee.org -b "cn=bodies,dc=aegee,dc=org" -s sub -E sss=ou:2.5.13.15 That said client-side-sorting does work without a problem, but server-side sorting requires not only SEARCH, but also READ privileges on dn="cn=bodies,dc=aegee,dc=org". I find this is a bug: SSS requires read-acesss to data, which is not supposed to be returned to the client (dn:cn=bodies,dc=aegee,dc=org). For the additional server-side sorting no additional privileges shall be required, compared to returning the results without server-side-sorting. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
