dITStructureRules/nameForms in subschema subentry for informational purpose
by Michael Ströder
HI!
Discussed this very briefly with Howard at LDAPcon 2007 based on an idea
of Steve:
Support for dITStructureRules and nameForms is still in OpenLDAP's TODO.
In the meanwhile slapd could accept definitions for both in slapd.conf
and simply pass them on to a schema-aware LDAP client for informational
purpose without enforcing them. Same function like rootDSE <file> in
slapd.conf.
Opinions?
Ciao, Michael.

managing OpenLDAP / back-config
by Ralf Haferkamp
With the great features that back-config provides to configure OpenLDAP
servers at runtime it seems logical to start thinking about providing tools
that could help to leverage those features.
Currently to manage an OpenLDAP server through back-config you have the option
to use either a generic LDAP Browser (JXplorer, Apache LDAP Studio,
web2ldap), the OpenLDAP command line tools (ldapsearch, ldapmodify, ...) or
homegrown software using one of the available LDAP APIs. I think it would be
helpful to have some more sophisticated management tools (Commandline and/or
GUI).
In order to get there I think it could be helpful to create an API dedicated
to provide an easy way to access the OpenLDAP configuration (databases,
overlays, schema, access control, ...). This API could then be used to create
different flavors of management tools.
I have not yet spend too much time thinking about the design of such an API.
Neither about the programming language that I'd use to implement something
like this (Python, C, C++, ?). I first like to get a feeling how others think
about this and if anybody is interested in collaborating on such an API. So
please feel free to reply with your comments and suggestions :)

OpenLDAP Setup Scripts
by Gavin Henry
Dear All,
What are the basic requirements we can always count on when building the
OpenLDAP suite?
I'm trying to pick the right language for the menu build system for the
contrib scripts for:
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200805/msg00087.html
Something like http://wiki.sblug.org/Bash_Menu_Program works with Bash or
/bin/sh then use sed/awk for the suffix subs etc.
I could use Perl and stick to core modules etc. as that comes as standard
normally.
Thoughts?

Gavin Henry.

problems compiling with glibc-2.8
by Luca Scamoni
Thought I would just drop in a note on this...
There have been changes with glibc 2.8. Now struct ucred is ifdef'd
under _GNU_SOURCE
Maybe configure should detect if it's needed?

TODO
by Howard Chu
Some project ideas that have come out of discussions at this week's Ubuntu
Developer Summit:
* canned slapd.conf / config.ldif with simple tree and Samba3 support
* canned config with Heimdal KDC support
* canned templates to create LDAP users with POSIX, Samba, and KDC
attributes fully populated
* for web2ldap
* plugin for Linux useradd/userdel
I think the canned configs are pretty small projects - just write a config, do
some variable substitution on the database suffix etc., and it should be ready
to use. We can provide these in the contrib tree with appropriate READMEs. Any
volunteers?
On a separate topic, I've been slowly rewriting nss-ldapd as a slapd overlay
(in between technical sessions at the Summit). This will also be showing up in
contrib soon. With this approach, we can eliminate all the
libldap/libldap_r/version dependencies that currently plague the usual
nss-ldap implementation (and nss-ldapd already does that). Plus, we can not
only have direct NSS mapping into local slapd databases, but with back-ldap,
pcache, and/or translucent, we can also provide excellent NSS performance from
a remote LDAP server, as well as locally cached credentials for disconnected
host operation.
Which reminds me, it would still be a good idea to develop a back-tdb using
Samba's tdb library, as a lightweight/small footprint/easy to configure
transactional backend. The last time I checked tdb would only safely support
up to about 500,000 objects, but for a lot of smaller sites that would be more
than enough, and the limitation would be worth the simplification of the
configs/tuning aspects. Again - any volunteers looking for some fun projects?
