Hi All, I met a big problem! It is Ok when I use slappasswd -h {MD5}or {sha} but when I use slappasswd -h {CRYPT}, it reminds me that the {CRYPT} scheme not recognized! I search this problem in google and the answer to this is --enable -crypt. However, how to do this under windows XP? I would really appreciate any kinds of help!! C:\OpenLDAP>slappasswd -h {CRYPT} New password: Re-enter new password: Password generation failed for scheme {CRYPT}: scheme not recognized Hang

Newbie Help Mapping Attributes
by Simon Kelsall 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

Hi, I have set up LDAP to authenticate and work with Samba and a couple of other things but I am getting lost with the following. We have 2 new printers that can pull their address book from LDAP. I cant change the seach filter they use but was hoping to map their attributes onto ones in our directory. So for example any referance to facsimileTelephoneNumber by them in the search filter or list of attributes to return would get changed to faxNumber. Could someone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance -- Simon Kelsall Network Administrator St James the Great R.C Primary & Nursery School http://www.stjamesthegreat.org/

I started in April/May, but it's been a slow 6 or so months, squeezing in bits.

When to delete client content during RFC4533 synchronization?
by Erik van Oosten 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

Hello, I am writing a RFC4533 client implementation based on JLDAP. I have a question on how to interpret the rfc as a client, and secondly how the OpenLDAP server interprets it. My question is: how can the client determine that it must delete content at the end of the refresh stage, when a refreshAndPersist is requested with an initial cookie? The problem is that I can not defer from the rfc how I can differentiate between a server that sends an initial content poll and a server that sends a content update poll. The RFC specifies that the server may choose to ignore the initial cookie and the reloadHint flag, so either poll mode may be choosen by the server. In the case of a refreshOnly the RFC is clear: when refreshDeletes of syncDoneValue is FALSE, content that is not added, changed, or indicated as present must be deleted from the client copy (section 1.3.1 paragraph 8). However, in the case of a refreshAndPersist, there is no similar flag in the SyncInfoMessage that ends the refresh stage. SyncInfoMessage does have values named refreshDelete and refreshDeletes, but these are used for other purposes (see section 3.4.1 and section 3.3.2 paragraph 7 and 9). Am I missing something? What is the behavior of the OpenLDAP server in this matter? Does it ever ignore the reloadHint of the sync request control? Regards, Erik. -- Erik van Oosten http://2008.rubyenrails.nl/ http://www.day-to-day-stuff.blogspot.com/

OpenLDAP 2.4.6
by Tony Earnshaw 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

I've built rpms for and and installed OL 2.4.6 on my Fedora FC6 test/production machine. The rpms were built from a Mandriva cooker srpm built by Buchan Milne, with a slightly adapted spec file, which adaptations I've let Buchan know about. Experience to date suggests that 2.4.6 is a drop in for the 2.3.39 that it was running, with the exception that a few of the spec file parameters had to be changed for FC6, but more importantly that a couple of the basic ACLs had to be changed: It seems that 2.4 is more picky about ACLs than 2.3. It's running well for basic user authentication, smtp and IMAP and coping as well as 2.3.39 did. Now I've got it running, I'm looking at the Administrator's Guide for 2.4. This is a fantastic, hugely amended and augmented document in comparison to the 2.3 Admin Guide. I suppose it was Gavin Henry (http://www.suretecsystems.com/) who is responsible for it but can't be sure. Anyway, it's going to cost me a couple of days to go through it and see what more OL 2.4 can mean for my production systems than 2.3. I trust than Buchan will provide an srpm for Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora people at http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages before long. Best, --Tonni -- Tony Earnshaw Email: tonni at hetnet dot nl

New performance results
by Howard Chu 03 Nov '07

03 Nov '07

OpenLDAP 2.3 has been unrivaled as the fastest directory server in the world for the past two+ years, but today that's no longer true. Now OpenLDAP 2.4 takes over as the most scalable, most reliable, highest performing directory server. Thanks to our friends on the Samba Project and at AMD, we've been able to do some new benchmarks on an AMD quad-processor server. We tested OpenLDAP (2.4.5 and 2.4.6) on Linux as well as Microsoft's AD offerings on Windows 2003, and the results are now summarized on the Connexitor blog. http://connexitor.com/blog/ (The AD numbers aren't all in yet, we're still waiting for the directory import to finish.) -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
