[Issue 9596] New: Python test suite
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 08 Sep '26

08 Sep '26

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.

[Issue 10282] New: MSVC builds are not supported
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 08 Sep '26

08 Sep '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10282 Issue ID: 10282 Summary: MSVC builds are not supported Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5.18 Hardware: All OS: Windows Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: build Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: cmb(a)php.net Target Milestone: --- I'm a maintainer of an OpenLDAP port[1] which is used to build liblber and libldap for PHP on Windows. So far this uses hand-made configuration and Visual Studio solutions, but that is not sustainable in the long run. Instead, I'd rather like to use the autotools based build chain with MSYS2 (or Cygwin), but still using the MSVC build tools (cl.exe, link.exe, etc.) and the MS Windows SDK for best compatibility with other builds for PHP on Windows. Apparently, this is not yet supported by OpenLDAP (2.5.18). I've managed to add some patches[2] to get where I'd like this to go[3]. Some of the patches are highly PHP (BC) specific, some are just quick hacks (because I don't know better), but some appear to be appropriate for inclusion into the OpenLDAP sources. Are you generally interested in supporting MSVC tools and MS Windows SDKs? If so, what would be the best way to contribute -- sending MRs to the repo[4]? Should these tackle individual issues, or rather be complete (note that I'm likely not able to provide a full-fledged solution due to my very limited knowledge of autotools and Linux, and limited time).

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

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.

[Issue 9748] New: Deleted values of pwdFailureTime seem to reappear

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9748 Issue ID: 9748 Summary: Deleted values of pwdFailureTime seem to reappear 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 854 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=854&action=edit accesslog for uid=dm01-R2H2-956,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com Somehow, ppolicy seems to be able to reference values of pwdFailureTime that had been deleted before the actual bind even started. In the attached accesslog, trace, deletion of everything (including "20211115154510.478330Z") is recorded from reqSession: 3, then a bind comes in and the same value is explicitly removed again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9902] New: Make max index DBs for back-mdb configurable
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 07 Aug '26

07 Aug '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9902 Issue ID: 9902 Summary: Make max index DBs for back-mdb configurable Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: backends Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- From ITS#9895: Currently there is a hardcoded limit of 128 index DBs in back-mdb. Some sites want more than this (although there's no evidence they actually use more than 128 attributes in all of their applications' search filters). For 2.5/2.6 we can simply double the constant. For 2.7 consider making it configurable. Note that increasing the number increases the size of an LMDB transaction structure, and also increases the time needed to initialize it whenever creating a transaction, so it's a bad idea to just set this to an arbitrarily large number. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
