(ITS#7699) Fixed one assertion failure during slapo_dds start-up
by tedcheng＠symas.com 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Full_Name: Ted C. Cheng Version: HEAD OS: Ubuntu 11.10 URL: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kw5df5z1oxm3hw2/slapo_dds_start_up_assertion_fix.… Submission from: (NULL) (172.250.77.154) dds_db_open() did not enumerate dynamic objects before slapo-dds performed expiration check and purging. As a result, the assert(di->di_num_dynamicObjects > 0) at dds_counter_cb() may crash. The proposed resolution is to move dds_count() before dds_expire(). Please review. Thanks,

AW: (ITS#7655) segfault during initial mirror of multimaster delta replication
by hans.freitag＠entiretec.com 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Hi, unfortunately i was not able to reproduce the exact problem with the segfault, but, after a few updates, we still have the problem that with replication enabled the slapd freezes during a write operation. SETUP DESCRIPTION: Openldap Version 2.4.36 Back-MDB (we have issues for quite a while, even when we where running on bdb) All write and read requests are directed to the active node, so the passive node is replicating. So, if I did not understand something wrong I have two threads: The main thread, and the one which is doing the replication. Netstat of TCP Replication connections, the second is initiated by the passive system polling from the active tcp 0 53 10.169.127.13:389 10.169.126.13:43340 ESTABLISHED tcp 1905336 0 10.169.127.13:52384 10.169.126.13:389 ESTABLISHED top -H of the LDAP Processes: 7767 ldap 20 0 84.4g 7.1g 6.9g S 1 10.1 1:02.13 slapd 7768 ldap 20 0 84.4g 7.1g 6.9g S 0 10.1 7:54.44 slapd 8023 ldap 20 0 84.4g 7.1g 6.9g S 0 10.1 0:32.31 slapd 7766 ldap 20 0 84.4g 7.1g 6.9g S 0 10.1 0:00.00 slapd 7769 ldap 20 0 84.4g 7.1g 6.9g S 0 10.1 0:32.81 slapd 7770 ldap 20 0 84.4g 7.1g 6.9g S 0 10.1 7:44.94 slapd 8024 ldap 20 0 84.4g 7.1g 6.9g t 0 10.1 0:32.53 slapd PASTEBIN: I Pastebinned all the backtraces to: http://pastebin.com/vVGEqEUt I hope this helps to track back the problem.

With openldap, you have two choices. I don't know which draft you are referring to, so I can't say if either conforms with what the other directory servers do. slapo-auditlog slapo-accesslog Pick your path. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Lead Engineer Zimbra Software, LLC -------------------- Zimbra :: the leader in open source messaging and collaboration

That's utter nonsense. The amount of data is the same no matter how many pieces you slice it into. It is *more* inefficient to slice it into multiple requests. > The directory is read using multiple parallel paged searches across > different branches on a single connection.

So you're saying you're connecting to OpenLDAP servers from version 2.1 or older, from before syncrepl or the accesslog or changelog overlays existed. > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Ströder [mailto:michael@stroeder.com] > Sent: 17 September 2013 20:20 > To: john.unsworth(a)cp.net; openldap-its(a)openldap.org > Subject: Re: (ITS#7698) Multiple Paged search requests on one > connection fail > > john.unsworth(a)cp.net wrote: >> I would also be interested to understand why " paged results is >> inherently flawed". > > Although being the author of an interactive LDAP UI client I still > wonder why people want paged results (or tree browsing). > > If you have so many results you should narrow the search criteria. > Browsing/paging is pretty inefficient working style. > > Ciao, Michael. > > > > > -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

AFAIK it is not the standard LDAP changelog - let me know if I'm wrong. We don't want to write specific code for each LDAP server that doesn't conform to the LDAP (draft I know) standard. -----Original Message----- From: Quanah Gibson-Mount [mailto:quanah@zimbra.com] Sent: 17 September 2013 20:49 To: john.unsworth(a)cp.net; openldap-its(a)openldap.org Subject: RE: (ITS#7698) Multiple Paged search requests on one connection fail --On Tuesday, September 17, 2013 7:34 PM +0000 john.unsworth(a)cp.net wrote: > In the case of OpenLDAP there is no LDAP changelog and so the only way > we have of discovering changes is to read the whole directory and > compare with what was read last time. If you think that, then apparently you haven't spent time reading the documentation. OpenLDAP has had a changelog since at least OpenLDAP 2.3, if you enable it. I use it for auditing changes all the time. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Lead Engineer Zimbra Software, LLC -------------------- Zimbra :: the leader in open source messaging and collaboration
