[Issue 10073] New: database monitor | slapd fails to start when "database ldap" without suffix exists
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10073 Issue ID: 10073 Summary: database monitor | slapd fails to start when "database ldap" without suffix exists Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5.14 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: backends Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: cyusedfzfb(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- As requested on the mailinglist, I am filing an issue for this behaviour: Today setup the cn=Monitor backend, and after doing so, openldap failed to start with: backend_startup_one (type=monitor, suffix="cn=Monitor"): bi_db_open failed! (-1) The reason turned out to be: we had configured one of our databases ("database ldap") without a suffix. After I added a suffix, openldap started, and cn=Monitor worked as expected. It would be nice if this error message could become a little bit more specific. :-) Also: we've had the "database ldap" without a suffix in production working for many years. Perhaps cn=Monitor should be able to deal with that config as well..? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10084] New: Move away from DIGEST-MD5 as a default in the test suite

As such we should update our defaults in a couple of our test scripts for master/2.7 at least.

[Bug 9244] New: API calls blocking after async connect
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9244 Bug ID: 9244 Summary: API calls blocking after async connect Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.4.49 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: libraries Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: ryan(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 721 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=721&action=edit async connect test without TLS My understanding of LDAP_OPT_CONNECT_ASYNC is that the attached program should not block. If the connection does not establish fast enough, the bind call is supposed to return LDAP_X_CONNECTING. (At least that's how I understand it, based on the original behaviour (circa 2.4.23 up to 2.4.40) as well as the bind loop in back-meta. On the other hand, the man page does "Subsequent calls to library routines will poll for completion of the connect before performing further operations" which might be interpreted as meaning they would block...) In current releases it does block, as demonstrated by strace on Linux (latency added using 'tc qdisc'): [...] connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(389), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.1.204")}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress) write(3, "0\f\2\1\1`\7\2\1\3\4\0\200\0", 14) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLOUT|POLLERR|POLLHUP}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLOUT}]) write(3, "0\f\2\1\1`\7\2\1\3\4\0\200\0", 14) = 14 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN}]) read(3, "0\f\2\1\1a\7\n", 8) = 8 read(3, "\1\0\4\0\4\0", 6) = 6 write(2, "OK: ldap_simple_bind_returned 0 "..., 42OK: ldap_simple_bind_returned 0 (Success) ) = 42 [...] As discussed in IRC, I believe I bisected this down to commit ae6347bac, from bug 8022. The reasoning is sound, but ldap_int_open_connection does not actually return -2, only -1 or 0. The patch is simple enough, but I'm also looking at some later commits that were probably done to work around this, and might not be needed now (bug 8957, bug 8968, bug 8980). Also need to test all setups thoroughly (ldap, ldaps, STARTTLS, not to mention back-meta/asyncmeta). I also notice that LDAP_OPT_CONNECT_ASYNC is not effective unless LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT is also set. It might be intentional, but the man page doesn't mention this specifically, and I don't see why it would be necessary... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Issue 9729] New: Allow setting multiprovider before adding syncrepl stanzas
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9729 Issue ID: 9729 Summary: Allow setting multiprovider before adding syncrepl stanzas 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: --- It should be possible to set multiprovider first, avoiding the window of the DB being read-only while performing an online upgrade of a single provider to an MPR set up and generally simplifying configuration. Instead, the only requirement should be that serverID has been explicitly set (hopefully != 0). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9642] New: Adding a task to runqueue doesn't wake the main thread

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9642 Issue ID: 9642 Summary: Adding a task to runqueue doesn't wake the main thread Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: ondra(a)mistotebe.net Target Milestone: --- If a connection adds a new syncrepl stanza, that is not started until the main thread comes around to doing it. However if that thread is currently stuck in SLAP_EVENT_WAIT() and nothing else happens (like an unbind over the connection that modified the config), the task is never started. This can take a long time. No idea yet how to wake it up with/from ldap_pvt_runqueue_insert() given that sits within libldap and not really something that should be calling slap_wake_listener(). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9577] New: slapd -V should be deprecated
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

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 10301] New: Use assertion control in lastbind chaining
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10301 Issue ID: 10301 Summary: Use assertion control in lastbind chaining 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: --- Take a setup with a bunch of consumers tracking lastbind information and replicating this back from the provider. If a client sends a lot of successful binds to it in a very short window, the changes might not have a chance to replicate down so each of these binds has to trigger a new modification to be forwarded. This results in a lot of DB churn and replication traffic that is actually meaningless (the pwdLastChange values before and after each of the mods will be the same). We probably can't avoid having to send something, but the change we send could have an assertion control attached that lets the provider skip it if pwdLastChange>=new_value, saving on all of the additional processing (and additional useless replication traffic). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
