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

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10277 Issue ID: 10277 Summary: How to deal with desync between cn=config and back-ldif DNs 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 someone deletes a cn=config entry offline (or through bugs in cn=config, they exist, will file as I isolate), the X-ORDERED RDNs will not be contiguous. cn=config papers over this internally at a cost of never being able to modify the entries affected. 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.

[Issue 9782] New: regression test its8752 failure

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.

It should at least have an option to use Elliptic Curve keypairs.

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

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 10383] New: slapd-meta ignores olcDbIDAssertBind if olcDbURI defined after it
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 08 Sep '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10383 Issue ID: 10383 Summary: slapd-meta ignores olcDbIDAssertBind if olcDbURI defined after it Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.9 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: david.frickert(a)protonmail.com Target Milestone: --- Hi, We are using slapd-meta to connect an OpenLDAP server to another external LDAP server and it works well on first configuration. However, if we want to update any info, e.g. the external LDAP URI, we must replace the olcDbURI attribute. This means that the ordering of the attributes change and this attribute is now defined after olcDbIDAssertBind. Didn't think this would be important, but after this change the "meta" connection stops working and upon enabling debugging i can see that the external LDAP server is responding with: "ldap_bind: Inappropriate authentication (48) additional info: Anonymous Simple Bind Disabled" This seems to imply that the olcDbIDAssertBind attribute is being ignored, likely due to being defined before olcDbURI (my assumption). Is this intended? If so, what can we do to mitigate this problem? Do we need to perform a replace on all attributes of the object to ensure correct ordering, or is there any way to perform an in-place attribute modification without making it shift its position in the object? Example: First configuration (OK): # {0}uri, {2}meta, config dn: olcMetaSub={0}uri,olcDatabase={2}meta,cn=config objectClass: olcMetaTargetConfig olcMetaSub: {0}uri --> olcDbURI: ldap://REDACTED/ou=users,REDACTED olcDbIDAssertBind: bindmethod=simple starttls=yes tls_reqcert=demand binddn="REDACTED" credentials="REDACTED" olcDbRewrite: {0}suffixmassage REDACTED REDACTED olcDbKeepalive: 0:0:0 olcDbBindTimeout: 100000 olcDbCancel: abandon After URI update (NOK): # {0}uri, {2}meta, config dn: olcMetaSub={0}uri,olcDatabase={2}meta,cn=config objectClass: olcMetaTargetConfig olcMetaSub: {0}uri olcDbIDAssertBind: bindmethod=simple starttls=yes tls_reqcert=demand binddn="REDACTED" credentials="REDACTED" olcDbRewrite: {0}suffixmassage REDACTED REDACTED olcDbKeepalive: 0:0:0 olcDbBindTimeout: 100000 olcDbCancel: abandon --> olcDbURI: ldap://REDACTED/ou=users,REDACTED The olcDbURI attribute is shifted to the bottom after a modify operation, and seems to cause these issues.
