I think it was fixed in HEAD but likely not ported to re23. Basically, when the suffix entry is "", a dummy Entry structure is used, which has no attributes and thus no objectClass attribute. Those checks should be skipped but they're not, but the main drawback is that few cycles are wasted. p. Ing. Pierangelo Masarati OpenLDAP Core Team SysNet s.n.c.

2.3 back-bdb, cachesize, idlcachesize, and real memory usage
by matthew sporleder 21 Nov '06

21 Nov '06

This has been asked before, but I didn't find any answers on it. I'm trying to find a good way to predict the size of a slapd process based on cachesize and idlcachesize. (db_stat -m already gives me info on the DB_CONFIG part of memory usage). I was hoping to come up with a formula based on the <average text size of an entry in my database> * <SOMESTUFF> * <(idl)cachesize setting>= XXX bytes. Do I just figure out the "sizeof" the structs below? Any tips are appreciated. In back-bdb.h, I found this: /* for the in-core cache of entries */ typedef struct bdb_cache { int c_maxsize; int c_cursize; int c_minfree; int c_eiused; /* EntryInfo's in use */ int c_leaves; /* EntryInfo leaf nodes */ EntryInfo c_dntree; EntryInfo *c_eifree; /* free list */ Avlnode *c_idtree; EntryInfo *c_lruhead; /* lru - add accessed entries here */ EntryInfo *c_lrutail; /* lru - rem lru entries from here */ ldap_pvt_thread_rdwr_t c_rwlock; ldap_pvt_thread_mutex_t lru_head_mutex; ldap_pvt_thread_mutex_t lru_tail_mutex; u_int32_t c_locker; /* used by lru cleaner */ #ifdef SLAP_ZONE_ALLOC void *c_zctx; #endif } Cache; typedef struct bdb_idl_cache_entry_s { struct berval kstr; ldap_pvt_thread_rdwr_t idl_entry_rwlock; ID *idl; DB *db; struct bdb_idl_cache_entry_s* idl_lru_prev; struct bdb_idl_cache_entry_s* idl_lru_next; } bdb_idl_cache_entry_t; When I looked at an old core file with strings, I found a lot of dn's, so I assume this was part of the cache.

password validation
by Douglas B. Jones 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

I have two ldap servers: 1) on machine A, a tru64 platform with openldap-2.2.20 2) on machine B, a rhel4 platform with openldap-2.3.27 We are trying to migrate to the rhel4 machine with the more recent ldap. The problem is that sometimes the validation fails. Due to the number of failures of validation against the rhel4 machine, we set up a program that: a) checks the encrypted password against the tru64 password file (the source) and against both ldap servers. Understand, this is comparing the encrypted password to see if they are the same. b) tries to validate against all three locations. The strange thing is that a high number of instances, the encrypted password matches on all three locations, the password (via this test program) validates against the password file and the tru64 ldap, but fails to validate with err=49 (invalid credentials) against the rhel4 box. The best I can tell, it is random. Most work, but a high percentage fail. We rebuild both ldaps each night. I was building the tru64 one with ldapadd and the rhel4 with slapadd. I then switched to 'slapdd -q'. Still had the problems, although they seemed a little better, so last night I switch to ldapadd as in the rhel4 machine. I am not seeing some that are following this same patter, validate against the password file and tru64 ldap, but fail against the rhel4 ldap. One other note, both ldaps are built from the same ldif files. Any ideas? Thanks for any help!

OpenLDAP Search Problem
by Matt Brown 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

Hi, I have an issue that just started a few days ago where when I search our LDAP for the field employeeNumber a number of my accounts will come back as not found even though they are in there, I can search by the uid and find the person and looking at the record the employeeNumber is exactly what I was searching for. I can however do a search for (employeeNumber=*000111222) and find the employee where a search for (employeeNumber=000111222) will not find anything. On other accounts the search returns the expected result. Comparing 2 accounts, one that works as expected and one that doesn't both and an employeeNumber field and both are set to a text value of 9 characters. Thanks, -- Matt Brown Information Technology System Specialist V Eastern Washington University

LDAP search issue.
by Gökhan 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

Hello; I have a question on LDAP search issue. I want to disable full search on the LDAP tree. Eg: My LDAP Tree is: c=US, o=Dept1, cn=John Smith c=US, o=Dept1, cn=Ann Adams I want to deny to read full listing of the tree but only allow when the search condition meets only the required person. In the example above I want nobody to be listed. But when the search criteria is "c=US, o=Dept1, cn=Ann Adams" this entry must be listed. When a search on "c=US" comes, nothing must be listed. What is the correct Access Control Information for this request?? Thanks.

Unable to add non root DNs
by JP Singh 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

Hi all, I am not able to add non root dns. I am getting invalid credentails (49). I have added root dn manager with ease. I am not able to add any new entry with manager as root dn If I make new entry as root dn then I am able to add it. Or in other words if I make employee as root dn and rootpw whatever was given previously. It will add cn=employee without any problem I will welcome any help in this direction.

How do I make this control available? That message is only telling you that ppolicy is not recognized as a global control; in fact, it's only supported within the naming context you configured the ppolicy overlay for. As a consequence, handling of that control is deferred. You're simply logging at a too verbose level, and erroneously interpreting the resulting logs. The control does nothing in the operation above likely because there's nothing to do (i.e. you didn't provide an incorrect password multiple times, and your password is not about to expire, or simply because you auth'ed as the rootdn). Did you read the man page and the draft that control is about? What are you expecting it to do, otherwise? p. Hello, Thanks for the reply. Makes sense. Actually my issue was initially getting ppolicy overlay to work. Should I open a new thread on that or should I use this thread for that too? Prakash
