https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9468 Issue ID: 9468 Summary: slapd-ldap does anonymous bind even if rebind-as-user is set Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: backends Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: tero.saarni(a)est.tech Target Milestone: --- When back-ldap retries bind operation after connection retry, it will do it as anonymous even if rebind-as-user is set to yes. Expected behavior is that (re)bind is done with user's credentials from the initial bind operation. I observed following (Warning: I might have understood details of the code incorrectly): When rebind-as-user is set and bind operation from client is processed, proxy will copy the credentials to ldapconn_t representing the remote LDAP connection. When remote LDAP connection is closed (e.g. by the proxy itself due to timeout), the bind credentials information is lost when freeing the old ldapconn_t. At this point, client still holds the connection to proxy and is unaware of the remote connection being lost. Proxy then re-establishes the connection and "synthetically" generates new bind itself, but since it does not have the credentials stored in memory anymore, it sends anonymous bind on behalf of the client. As a side effect, slapd currently crashes if remote server does not allow anonymous bind and responds with InvalidCredentials instead. The crash is due to assert(), which is handled in separate issue https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9288 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
