2.3 vs 2.4 Features/Differences/Additions List
by Gavin Henry 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Dear All, I know Howard wrote this: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200702/msg00277.html But I'd like to gather a quick (if possible) list of 2.3 vs 2.4 features/differences/additions, so I can make sure we have a relevant section in the Admin Guide to point to and cover/discuss it etc. If there are nice things not mentioned in the above post that is. This will give me a reference list to make sure our guide is complete as possible. Thanks all, Gavin. -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. Managing Director.

Note that in HEAD dynlist can also be instantiated under the name "dyngroup" (see obsolete names), with the same configuration syntax. p. Ing.

TLS Certificate Generation section and Troubleshooting Checklist
by Gavin Henry 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Dear All, Should we merge the TLS cert generation seciton of the FAQ into TLS.sdf? Could you all think of some simple questions to ask when troubleshooting an OpenLDAP "problem" as our users call it ;-) See the the "Checklist" in the Troubleshooting section I've started.

ldapsearch scrables utf-8 dn
by TJ 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Hi all, I hope that this will lead to some discussion on better utf-8 support. It seems that ldapsearch does'n like dn's with utf-8 chars in it. see: $ ldapsearch -xLLL "(uid=dwrc)" dn dn:: Y249RMW1ciBDeW1ydSxvdT11c2VyQWNjb3VudHMsZGM9Y3NpcnQsZGM9amFuZXQ= $ locale LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ALL= add -u and doesn't get much better: ufn: D\C5\B5r Cymru, userAccounts, csirt.janet While 'getent passwd' via libnss-ldap is more then happy with utf-8 usernames: $ getent passwd dwrc:*:1111:100:Dŵr Cymru:/tmp:/bin/bash (for those that have issues with utf-8 email, the 'w' in Dwr has a hat '^' on). I am told on the irc channel that anything 'strange' is changed to base64. Some thoughts on this: * I don't consider UTF-8 to be strange. * If it really has to be this way then ldap* -D args (and others) should accept the base64 form. * This behaviour should at least have an off switch, so the user can decide on the output form. I was asked to post this issue to the list for discussion. My own position is that I have yet to hear any good reason why utf-8 support should not be a goal. Regards, Thorben

Hi all, Is this valid? I can see it in our source, but not in configure. I ask as I see it as a build option at: http://preview.tinyurl.com/357n79 Thanks. -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry.

Maybe you should choose the smaller paper size? I've had some success by creating hybrid paper size of A4 width (210 mm), and Letter height (some inches). That is, take the smaller values of both. That way the printers (atleast some) seem to be happier. Most new printers seem to be able to scale between A4 and Letter. Ciao, Michael. //Kari

Guide PDF changes
by Gavin Henry 18 Aug '07

Dear All, I've changed the TOC depth to match the html of 3. Looks much nicer. Should we change the outputed PDF to be called: OpenLDAP-Admin-Guide.pdf or are you really happy with just: guide.pdf Do we need to do for htmldoc: --size a4 Or do we want to stick with Letter? You can change this prior to print anyway. For now I'm committing a toc of 3. Please let me know your thoughts on the rest. Gavin. -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. Managing Director.

librewrite or PCRE
by Gavin Henry 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Dear All, I think I'm going to answer my own question, but what would I gain (except the obvious power of Perl regex's) in using PCRE over librewrite? For slapo-valregex should I just stick with our own librewrite? I think it's probably best not to introduce a new requirement. Your thoughts are welcome. Thanks, Gavin. -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry.
