[Issue 9782] New: regression test its8752 failure
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 21 Oct '26

21 Oct '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.

[Bug 9256] New: The ACLs required for SASL binding are not fully documented
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 21 Oct '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

However, this is not the case when test059 executes. The entryUUID for 'dn: cn=config' differs between the two.

[Issue 10403] New: Add a configuration directive that uses the OpenSSL CONF API to allow openldap config files to set any configuration supported by that API, and to get new OpenSSL configuration capabilities through that API with no changes in openldap.

[Issue 9272] New: Invalid search results for subordinate/glued database

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.

[Issue 10217] New: autoca should support more key types

It should at least have an option to use Elliptic Curve keypairs. It probably also needs options to specify other signature algorithms other than the default of SHA256. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10277] New: How to deal with desync between cn=config and back-ldif DNs

Right now the only remedy is slapcat+slapadd of the whole config DB, is that the best we can do? When we detect this (doesn't always happen), should we fix the on-disk copy on startup? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
