Entries with circular references will also break syncrepl Refresh if the constraint you're asking for is enforced. That will clearly have visible impact in many deployments. If the only thing that complains with the current behavior is your testsuite and not any real world clients, I suggest you just note the difference and move on. >> There's a lot of Windows behavior that is clearly wrong, by any number of >> metrics.

(ITS#5535) smbk5pwd uses private heimdal functions
by Guillaume.Rousse＠inria.fr 28 May '08

28 May '08

Full_Name: Guillaume Rousse Version: 2.4.8 OS: linux URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (193.55.250.67) smbk5pwd uses two private heimdal functions: _kadm5_set_keys _kadm5_free_keys As of heimdal 1.1, those functions are not exported anymore. As a consequence, opendalp crashes as soon as I try to change password when the overlay is activated. According to heimdal maintainers, smb5pwd should rather use hdb_generate_key_set_password and hdb_free_keys to generate the key data. I tried to produce a patch myself (available at http://www.zarb.org/~guillomovitch/openldap-smbk5pwd-2.4.8-dont-use-interna…) by inlining _kadm5_set_keys function directly in smbk5pwd, but I don't know how to deal with members of private kadm_context structure.

Only when it has a visible impact on other clients. What software will break if the directory allows you to add new entries that contain dangling references? What will break if the directory allows you to modify a reference attribute to point to a nonexistent entry? There's a lot of Windows behavior that is clearly wrong, by any number of metrics.

I think the proper use of memberOf still needs to be addressed. E.g., it's generally a bad idea to search for (memberOf=foo) when you can simply enumerate the members inside the "foo" entry. If you give us precise examples of the searches and modifications that you'll be using, we may be able to narrow the scope of this work. > This needs to occur even between databases on the server, but I won't ask that > it occur outside the known trees. It's already possible for operations in one database to reference entries in a different database, so that aspect of validation should be fine. However, as noted before, "validation" is generally bogus to begin with. In particular, how do you create entries with circular references? If you disallow references to nonexistent entries, you can't set the references until after all of the entries have been created. This means that you cannot backup a database that has these references and then later reload it in a single pass. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

(ITS#5534) Samba4 needs internal transactions/consistancy
by abartlet＠samba.org 27 May '08

27 May '08

Full_Name: Andrew Bartlett Version: CVS HEAD OS: Fedora 9 URL: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/200803/msg00101.html Submission from: (NULL) (59.167.251.137) For Samba4, I need a few things, detailed in the attached URL. This ITS is for internal transactions and validation - the ability to have a openldap overlay roll back all the changes so far, because a precondition is not met. I need the memberOf and refint modules to ensure that no dangling links ever exist, even over subtree renames and invalid modifies, and that a transaction ensures this is always the case. This needs to occur even between databases on the server, but I won't ask that it occur outside the known trees.

RFC4511 isn't really explicit here, although it does say that the connection should be dropped for unparsable messages. Anyway, I've patched HEAD to toss the messages for now. > With message ID 0, the code reaches this statement with 'lr' uninitialized: > Debug( LDAP_DEBUG_TRACE, > "read1msg: ld %p msgid %ld message type %s\n", > (void *)ld, (long)lr->lr_msgid, ldap_int_msgtype2str( tag ) ); > As far as I can tell, normally lr->lr_msgid == id. I haven't tracked what > those values are with LDAP_CONNECTIONLESS at the 'nextresp2:' label. For CONNECTIONLESS, it can only jump back there because there were multiple responses to the current request. So the lr is the same as for the first response. No problem there. (Remember this is all within a single datagram. Responses to multiple different requests cannot be interleaved at this point.) > A 700-line function with 5 labels, yuck. > Anyway, I wonder why taht statement and the statement below: > if ( id == 0 ) { > doesn't use the same value, either id or lr->lr_msgid for both. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
