Question about OpenLDAP
by Mark Hennessy
I have a user who tries to connect from an IP x.x.x.31, but they keep getting
rejected. The ACL is using IPs to allow anonymous read-only connections. I
have a client at another host that's also in the ACL by IP which is set to
use an anonymous connection and that works. What should I be looking for
with this client that's not working? Also, I built OpenLDAP without SASL on
purpose. This is serving a simple database that could potentially have lots
of reads and no writes from a couple of trusted hosts. Any help in this
matter would be greatly appreciated!
This is OpenLDAP from FreeBSD ports built supposedly without SASL.

Yes, the entries aren't worth much to us once they've done their job,
any querying by us is done immediately after an update (which even for a
modification for many hundreds of modifications happens like greased
lightning over all slaves) and such a modification produces thousands of
these records, since there's one record for each attribute. Leaving them
for 24 hours is OK nad I really want an immediate delete. That's what
our original shell script did.
I'd seriously suggest you go ahead with delta-syncrepl and have a look
at chaining referrals from slave servers; they're two facilities in the
latest 2.3 that are worth gold to us, in any event.

Are you confusing auditlog and accesslog? They are two entirely different
things. I'm not sure they mix well, either...

translucent and syncprov overlay together?
by Karsten Künne
Hi,
is there a way to use the translucent and the syncprov overlay together on one
database? I always get "syncprov_db_open: invalid config, lastmod must be
enabled" if I try. I have "lastmod on" in my config but apparently the
translucent overlay or the implicit back-ldap backend it loads sets it to off
which the syncprov overlay doesn't like.
What I want to do is to replicate the local override entries to another server
with a similar translucent configuration. I don't want to replicate the
entries pulled in via the translucent overlay, of course.
Karsten.

The overlay keyword is documented in slapd.conf(5) under the General
Database Options. The first sentence of this section states:
Options in this section only apply to the configuration file
section for the database in which they are defined.
The documentation for the overlay keyword begins:
Add the specified overlay to this database.
I would think it's clear from these statements that overlay
configurations are only valid on specific databases.
Why use a thousand words to say the same thing over and over again? Why
write any documentation at all when the existing documents are so
obviously being ignored?

There are known bugs with logpurge in that version, I'd advise upgrading.
Get 2.3.30. ;)

Well, it works perfectly for me...
My syntax is a bit different than yours though:
#######################################################################
# accesslog database definitions
#######################################################################
database hdb
suffix cn=accesslog
directory /var/lib/ldap/accesslog
rootdn cn=accesslog
index default eq
index entryCSN
index objectClass
index reqEnd
index reqResult
index reqStart
....
#######################################################################
# stanford.edu database definitions
#######################################################################
database hdb
suffix "dc=stanford,dc=edu"
rootdn "cn=manager,dc=stanford,dc=edu"
....
overlay accesslog
logdb cn=accesslog
logops writes
logsuccess TRUE
logpurge 07+00:00 01+00:00
In your example configuration, you didn't show the overlay bit being inside
another database definition, but I assume it is...

FWIW we're running 2.3.30 on RHAS4 with delta-syncrepl from a master to
3 slaves. We had issues with logpurge before about 2.3.25, so I wrote a
small shell script to purge the entries at midnight, in anticipation of
the problem being fixed in the end. Around 2.3.27 I noticed that the
script wasn't outputting, but the entries were getting purged anyway, so
logpurge was working.
Our format in slapd.conf is slightly different from yours:
logpurge 02:00:00 24:00
After a mass update, the logfiles in the changelog directory get huge,
so when it's working, you'd best keep an eye on these.
Best,

Solaris 10 and openldap - help needed.
by Robert Bannocks
Hi all,
I have a number of issues with OpenLDAP on solaris 10. These are mostly
to do with Samba, however, boiling the problem down I have tried to
simplify things.
I have openldap-2.3.27 configured with this configure line and compiled
with gcc version
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/opt/openldap/openldap-2.3.27
--enable-crypt --enable-ldap --enable-slapd=no --enable-shared=no
I have tried to compile the following simple program:
$ more ldaptest.c
#include <ldap.h>
main()
{
char *ldapname="Dn=this is a long DN";
char *result;
result=ldap_dn2ad_canonical( ldapname );
}
With the command line
/usr/sfw/bin/gcc -I/usr/local/opt//openldap/openldap-2.3.27/include
-L/usr/local/opt/openldap/openldap-2.3.27/lib/libldap.a
-L/usr/local/opt/openldap-2.3.27/lib/liblber.a ldaptest.c
This gives this error:
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
ldap_dn2ad_canonical /var/tmp//ccKJLi7T.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
looking as the libraries:
$ /usr/ccs/bin/nm /usr/local/opt/openldap/openldap-2.3.27/lib/libldap.a
| grep ldap_dn2ad_canonical
[57] | 3116| 120|FUNC |GLOB |0 |1
|ldap_dn2ad_canonical
However when I compile against the dynamic libraries compilation works.
/usr/sfw/bin/gcc -I/usr/local/opt/openldap/openldap-2.3.27/include
-L/usr/local/opt/openldap/openldap-2.3.27/lib -lldap -llber ldaptest.c
I am at the limit of my understanding. Can anyone help.
Regards
Rob

slapd responds very slowly when cpu has 100% usage (but actually low load)
by Antonis Christofides
Hi,
At the almost idle Dual Core machine which runs slapd, I run:
nice sh -c 'while true; do true; done' &
nice sh -c 'while true; do true; done' &
(i.e. I'm running this twice). Then each of the two CPUs always has
some job to do, so both CPUs have 100% usage, but this is "nice".
Then, slapd takes too long to respond to queries. It may take 10 or
20 seconds. If I kill or stop one of the two dummy processes, it
replies instantly. If I continue both dummy processes, it's back to
10 or 20 seconds. Needless to say all machine resources seem ok; low
disk usage, lots of spare memory; and slapd is not niced.
If it's not something immediately obvious, could you help me debug it?
I've run slapd with various "-d" options but it gives me results that
I have trouble understanding.
The OS is Debian 3.1 (Sarge), with a 2.6.12 SMP Linux kernel.
