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: --- Created attachment 1032 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=1032&action=edit tail of slapd log Running test050 repeatedly, the slapd managed to get itself into an apparent inconsistency in the connections structure. The logs suggest that there might be a race closing the connection. Unfortunately the sanitiser didn't initiate a core dump in this case. -- 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)

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.

[Issue 10358] New: syncrepl can revert an entry's CSN

[Issue 9577] New: slapd -V should be deprecated

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 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 10306] New: epoll, kqueue etc. are not used when cross compiling

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10306 Issue ID: 10306 Summary: epoll, kqueue etc. are not used when cross compiling Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.9 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: build Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: hi(a)alyssa.is Target Milestone: --- OpenLDAP's build system relies on running test programs to see whether epoll or kqueue are available, after checking the headers are available. When cross compiling, test programs can't be run, and even if they could, they wouldn't produce useful results because they'd be testing the build machine. Running test programs like this isn't even a great idea for native builds, because the package is still quite likely to end up running on a different machine than it was built for — think about distro packages. This means that cross-compiled OpenLDAP ends up using select, even though it could almost certainly use epoll or kqueue. The best thing to do for this sort of thing is to check at runtime whether the epoll/kqueue/whatever is available, and fall back if not, but this would probably be hard to implement in OpenLDAP. Other, easier, things that could be done to improve the situation would be: • Assume that epoll/kqueue are available if the headers are. It's very unlikely nowadays that a system with the headers won't actually have the API available. • If the AC_RUN_IFELSE checks are staying, make sure that they're all overridabel with configure flags or at least AC_CACHE_CHECK. There are also uses of AC_RUN_IFELSE for pthreads, which presumably have the same problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10361] New: lapo-auditlog: Add olcAuditLogNonBlocking to avoid blocking when logging to named pipes

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10361 Issue ID: 10361 Summary: lapo-auditlog: Add olcAuditLogNonBlocking to avoid blocking when logging to named pipes Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: a.cudbardb(a)freeradius.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 1081 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=1081&action=edit Patch adding olcAuditlogNonBlocking and a tests for slapo-auditlog The default behaviour of fopen() when called on a named pipe which does not have any reader, is to block, until a reader opens the pipe. This in turn blocks slapo-auditlog when it attempts to write output, and prevents slapd processing requests. Depending on how critical the audit log is, it may be preferable to discard audit log output and continue processing requests if there's no reader available which olcAuditLogNonBlocking: TRUE allows. For clarity the call to fopen() is removed and replaced with open()/fdopen(), allowing us to specify O_* flags as opposed to using fopen() OR open()/fdopen() depending on whether we should block. 0666 are the base permissions used by fopen() when files are created. There were no tests for slapo-auditlog, so a small test suite that tests both the basic behaviour, and blocking/non-blocking writes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
