Hi All,
We have an LDAP server that is proxying for Active Directory. Periodically slapd throws an assertion:
slapd: [....]/ldap24/servers/slapd/schema_init.c:524: octetStringIndexer: Assertion `i > 0' failed. /etc/init.d/solserver: line 192: 6620 Aborted (core dumped) "$EXEC_DIR/$PROC" $ARGS -h "$HOST_LIST" $EXTRA_SLAPD_ARGS
Howard Chu's examination of the core file showed that the remote AD server returned a member attribute with no values. This is only legal in LDAP when a client sets the attrsonly flag in its search request, and that flag was not set here.
The indexer rightly asserts because pcache handed it an attribute with nothing to index.
I'm not sure what the correct thing to do might be here, but it should not take down the slapd.
Thanks,
-Matt
