Issue ID: 9598 Summary: Restricted operation routing in lloadd Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: lloadd Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: ondra@mistotebe.net Target Milestone: ---
Lloadd is not supposed to understand the LDAP protocol and is happy to route operations to whichever connection is available, but this can backfire in certain ways: - there are controls and extended operations that establish an shared context on the connection (paged results, TXN, ...) - it might take a measurable amount of time before a write operation is propagated to other servers
There should be a way to force some of these to a chosen backend/upstream connection temporarily or even permanently based on the OID of the extop/control in question.
