https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10358 Issue ID: 10358 Summary: syncrepl can revert an entry's CSN 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 1080 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=1080&action=edit Debug log of an instance of this happening There is a sequence of operations which can force a MPR node to apply changes out of order (essentially reverting an operation). Currently investigating which part of the code that should have prevented this has let it slip. A sample log showing how this happened is attached. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10360] New: delta-sync can apply old mods

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10360 Issue ID: 10360 Summary: delta-sync can apply old mods Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.9 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: hyc(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- This might be related to #10358, but not sure. In delta MPR, if an older mod is received on an entry after a newer mod has already been applied by a local user, the older mod is applied and the newer mod is lost. The incoming replication ops are checked for freshness by check_csn_age() but that only checks the incoming cookieCSN against contextCSNs of the same SID. I.e., that check only prevents duplicate mods being replicated multiple times from the same remote provider. If check_csn_age() passes, then syncrepl_message_to_op() is invoked which just applies the mod. It doesn't check the mod or cookieCSN against the entry's current entryCSN. The code in syncrepl_op_mod() performs the checks we need. The code just needs to be pulled into a new function so it can be used in both places. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10254] New: Allow upgrading password hash on bind
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 08 Sep '25

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10254 Issue ID: 10254 Summary: Allow upgrading password hash on bind Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: me(a)floriswesterman.nl Target Milestone: --- Many OpenLDAP installations are likely to contain relatively old password hashes such as SSHA and CRYPT, as modern alternatives such as Argon are only recent additions. Due to the nature of password hashes, it is of course not possible to "unhash" the old values and rehash them with a more modern algorithm. The presence of these old password hashes poses a liability in case of information leaks or hacks. Currently, the only way to upgrade a password hash is to wait for the user to change their password. This can be sped up by expiring passwords and forcing users to change them. However, this can be slow and frequent password rotation is no longer considered a best practice. It would be a very helpful addition to add support for upgrading a password hash on bind. This is implemented in the 389 directory server: https://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/design/pwupgrade-on-bind.html Essentially, when a user binds, the password is checked like normal. In case of a successful bind, the proposed feature would check the hash algorithm used for the password; and in case it is not equal to the current `olcPasswordHash` value, the user-provided password is rehashed using the new algorithm and stored. This way, the old hashes are phased out more quickly, without being a disturbance to users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9343] New: Expand ppolicy policy configuration to allow URL filter

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9343 Issue ID: 9343 Summary: Expand ppolicy policy configuration to allow URL filter Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- Currently, ppolicy only supports a single global default policy, and past that any policies must be manually added to a given user entry if they are supposed to have something other than the default policy. Also, some sites want no default policy, and only a specific subset to have a policy applied to them. For both of these cases, it would be helpful if it were possible to configure a policy to apply to a set of users via a URL similar to the way we handle creating groups of users in dynlist -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10304] New: Unable to remove item from directory as part of transaction if it is the last item in that directory

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10304 Issue ID: 10304 Summary: Unable to remove item from directory as part of transaction if it is the last item in that directory Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5.13 Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: backends Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: sophie.elliott(a)arcticlake.com Target Milestone: --- I am running my ldap server on Debian 11.3, with the mdb backend, using the backported openldap version 2.5.13. I am not 100% certain if this is an issue with OpenLDAP or liblmdb, but I have been running tests in the repo and it looks like the liblmdb tests work fine, so I think it's with OpenLDAP itself. I have been performing a transaction, and deleting entries from a directory during this transaction. This works fine if the item that I am deleting isn't the last entry in its directory, but when it is I get a MDB_NOTFOUND error on the commit transaction call and the delete doesn't go through. Here is an excerpt of the logs when this happens: ``` 67a64334.14e1fc32 0x766ad2a00700 => index_entry_del( 108, "accessGroupID=f23de82f-3a1c-4f88-86bb-bb07f9a0992d,o=[COMPANY],ou=accessGroups,dc=local,dc=[COMPANY],dc=com" ) 67a64334.14e21912 0x766ad2a00700 mdb_idl_delete_keys: 6c [62d34624] 67a64334.14e22812 0x766ad2a00700 <= index_entry_del( 108, "accessGroupID=f23de82f-3a1c-4f88-86bb-bb07f9a0992d,o=[COMPANY],ou=accessGroups,dc=local,dc=[COMPANY],dc=com" ) success 67a64334.14e23a91 0x766ad2a00700 mdb_delete: txn_commit failed: MDB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found (-30798) ``` Please let me know if I should submit this issue elsewhere, or if this is something that has already been fixed in a more recent version.

[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.

[Issue 10359] New: delta-MPR uses logbase for more than it documents

This is not documented so an admin doesn't know that the local accesslog DB needs to exist and have the same suffix. Either the documentation needs updating or a new configuration item needs to be added to allow an accesslog DB with a different suffix locally. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
