Getting more meaningful error out of back-config
by Ralf Haferkamp 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hi, I'd like to improve the error messages that back-config returns via LDAP to the client. Currently in many case you only get back a very generic error messages. E.g. when trying to add a second monitor database you just get: Error code LDAP_OTHER with the diagnostic message set to "<olcDatabase> failed init". To find out what really went wrong you need to dig up the logfiles. One way to get more meaningful error messages to the client would be by adding an additional const char** text parameter to the _db_init functions (and probably some other of the BI_db_func() functions as well), similiar to what is done in many other case when error messages need to be passed to the caller. Does somebody have better ideas how to achieve this? -- Ralf

Re: (ITS#4991) pcache and rwm don't play well together
by Ralf Haferkamp 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

Hello, slightly related to the above ITS, I have found another issue. I am not sure though if this is a bug or if the behaviour is intended. I have a setup here were the pcache and rwm-overlay is used on top of back-ldap. rwm is used to rewrite some Attributetypes unknown to the Schema of the local server to Attributetypes that are defined in the local server. As the attribute values from unknown attribute types cannot be normalized by the proxy, I am wondering if rwm should normalize them during the Mapping process? Otherwise the Values will endup un-normalized in the cache database, and I get incomplete results when requests are answered from the cache. I have a patch ready for this but I was wondering if the normalization step is left out by intention and wanted to ask before commiting my patch. -- Ralf

I am new on openldap (and ldap and this maillist). My company wants to have more control on the logging and I have to make changes on openldap and probably make changes so the can be on next version openldap. Does openldap use only syslog for all logging ? where is easiest to begin ? How good need the code be to have chance to be add to openldap ?

Recommended backend for Replication Config examples?
by Gavin Henry 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Dear All, For the backend type for all the replication examples I'm doing just now, should we use bdb or hdb? I notice that in slapd.conf.default we are using bdb. Thoughts?

ITS#4933
by Howard Chu 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

So it looks like changing libldap to use the tm_api timeout might have been a bad idea. All the existing apps assume that passing a NULL timeout gives an unlimited timeout. Now this is only true if there is no default timeout set in ldap.conf/ldaprc. If there is such a setting, then an app can't actually get an unlimited timeout unless it explicitly calls ldap_set_option() to override any value read from a config file. Any thoughts? Without that change, the tm_api value is a no-op and totally useless. Perhaps it's an option that should not be valid in any config file, and only valid from an app? -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

Necessity of new control ...
by Elier Delgado 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

Hi guys, I'm using OpenLdap and I want not desist .. but I need get random entries from a search result or a list .. I was reading and this could be implemented by a control, what you think ? Like paged control result, it most efficient that this functionality reside on the server, but maybe you think that it not necessary .. or inefficient If you agree I can develop it, with your help because I'm not familiarized neither a little ... The problem it's that I'm very hurried, this is a critical issue that I need solve to continues with the system that I'm designing ..otherwise I will need replicate some data to SQL ... Will be complicated develop this control ? Best regards, Elier

Status of ldbm in HEAD?
by Gavin Henry 15 Jun '07

15 Jun '07

Dear all, What's the status with ldbm in 2.4? The only mention of it in HEAD is in: doc/man/man5/slapd-ldbm.5 (obviously ;-) ) doc/man/man5/slapd.conf.5 doc/man/man5/slapo-syncprov.5 build/openldap.m4 servers/slapd/back-bdb/dn2id.c and loads of #ldbm#index in tests/data/* It looks like it's completely dropped to me, so I was going to remove mention of it from the man pages later, but wasn't sure about core code.
