Then we should also document all the other places where for example our integers accept a max value of 4294967295 or 18446744073709551615 too? It's stupid. Nobody is using 256 byte integers. Nobody is using integers bigger than 256 bytes. (Come on, 2^2048? really?) It's a limit that no one will ever hit in practice. >>> its8037 - Fix delta-syncrepl with relax >>> <https://github.com/quanah/openldap-scratch/tree/its8037> >> >> Looks like an enhancement, not a bugfix > > I included this for RE24 as the reporter hit this problem with RE24.

It's still a bunch of changes that don't actually fix anything. I guess we can take this in master. As a general rule, we should just reject patches like this in the future. >>> its8511 - Fix documentation for multimaster, deprecate mirrormode >>> <https://github.com/quanah/openldap-scratch/tree/its8511> >> >> Gratuitous change, existing docs and practices are already established. >> Hard enough to get people to update their docs, this is a bad idea. > > This change is not gratuitous in the least.

You're talking about confusion for new users, meanwhile you're just creating confusion for existing users. Existing users tend to complain more because they have more invested into their running deployments.

Load balancer
by Ondřej Kuzník 28 Sep '17

28 Sep '17

I'd like to have the load balancer prototype merged in the project and I've just created a ticket for that, ITS#8747. This server (lloadd for lack of a better name that you could still find in your friendly search engine) is a PDU-centric LDAP proxy. It will only handle operations that affect the connection itself (abandon, unbind, ...) and distribute the rest across connections established the configured backend servers. You can find more information in the (slightly disorganised) design notes in doc/devel/lloadd/design.md in the repo. I welcome anyone to help during the review and hope this can be merged soon and extended further.

LDAP_FEATURE_SUBORDINATE_SCOPE
by Michael Ströder 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

HI! Does the commit below mean that this feature is not supported at all? IIRC search with subordinate scope even works in 2.4.x. IMHO it would be ok to also announce that feature in rootDSE. BTW: There are many expired I-Ds (e.g. draft-behera-ldap-password-policy) implemented in OpenLDAP server. Ciao, Michael. commit 0d4cd897867e177a6e209b59cfb2330f32dc0355 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Author: Quanah Gibson-Mount <quanah(a)openldap.org> Date: Tue Sep 26 11:51:27 2017 -0700 LDAP_FEATURE_SUBORDINATE_SCOPE is from expired draft-sermersheim-ldap-subordinate-scope, leave behind LDAP_DEVEL
