RE24 testing call (2.4.27 official call #3)
by Quanah Gibson-Mount 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Please test latest RE24. dynamic config support for back-sql and back-perl have been added. If anyone has a setup to test either of those specifically, that would be useful.

Channel bindings
by Howard Chu 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Now that Cyrus SASL 2.1.25 is out with channel binding support, we should be looking into adding the hooks needed to use it. I believe what we want to expose is an ldap_get_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_BINDING, &foo) to retrieve the tls-unique binding data from the underlying TLS session. Then we pass this into SASL using sasl_setprop(ctx, SASL_CHANNEL_BINDING, foo). The actual ldap_get_option() code will have to be added for each TLS implementation. It seems pretty straightforward, am I missing anything? -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

What to do with test058?
by Ralf Haferkamp 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hi, I wonder how we should go forward with test058-syncrepl-asymmetric. If I understand the test (and the comments in syncrepl.c) correctly the setup it is testing is unsupported in slapd, am I right? (Which is the reason why test failures are ignored currently, I guess) On the provider the syncprov overlay is setup for the glued database and the consumer's syncrepl clients (also glued) are configured on the individual child databases. Additionally the consumers have configure the the syncprov overlay also of the topmost database. AFAICS all of the failures that test058 reports are related to this unsupported config. Is anybody planning to work on adding support for such a setup. Or should we just rework the test to a supported scenario (or even remove it completely)? Ralf

MDB name
by Howard Chu 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

What's in a name... Apparently "MDB" is already a well-known suffix for Microsoft Access database files. "mdb" is also the name of a debugger tool in Solaris. To avoid confusion with those unrelated items, it might be a good idea to rename our MDB to something else. Now, before the next OpenLDAP release is published.

drop "stable"
by Michael Ströder 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

HI! Many people are downloading and compiling "stable" releases from http://www.openldap.org/software/download/ which is IMO problematic: Most developers consider those "stable" releases to be rather outdated since lots of fixes are missing and they don't want to get bothered with old issues (which I personally perfectly understand). ITS filed against those "stable" versions are most times answered like "get a more recent release". There is no well-defined process how to determine whether a release has reached "stable" status. => My suggestion: Simply drop "stable" completely and list only the releases with version number without further qualification. Today most people can deal with version numbers quite well. Ciao, Michael.

RE24 testing (pre-testing on 2.4.27)
by Quanah Gibson-Mount 11 Nov '11

11 Nov '11

Tomorrow I'll be working on merging in libmdb/back-mdb. If anyone would like to do a basic sanity test against current RE24, that would be helpful. It has all of the planned fixes for 2.4.27 except ITS#7025 which Howard is still working on.

Note on Cyrus-SASL when testing
by Quanah Gibson-Mount 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Latest cyrus-sasl 2.1.25 introduces a new mechanism called SCRAM. Unlike the other mechanisms, SCRAM generates entropy as soon as the cyrus-sasl library is loaded. This is a problem because cyrus-sasl defaults to using /dev/random instead of /dev/urandom when it loads up. I was having numerous test failures until gdb'ing slapd and finding it was stuck initializing SCRAM while starting up. If you rebuild cyrus-sasl to use /dev/urandom (They thankfully have a configure switch for it), things'll work a lot more smoothly. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Sr. Member of Technical Staff Zimbra, Inc A Division of VMware, Inc. -------------------- Zimbra :: the leader in open source messaging and collaboration
