Would be a better approach than messing around with CSV files.

Very simple example script for such a sync implemented in Python:

Your mileage may vary.

Proxy Auth Question
by Yeargan Yancey
My goal is to configure OpenLDAP as a proxy to provide e-mail
addresses to the public (via anonymous simple binds) using an LDAP
back-end which requires authenticated simple binds.
Public ccess to this server will be anonymous only and read-only. All
non-anonymous bind attempts are transformed to anonymous using authz-
regexp ".+" "dn:".
However, I need all binds to the back-end LDAP service to use a
specific account. I've looked at the docs and the list archives for
information related to "idassert-bind" but I'm not understanding it
well enough.
I tried this ...
idassert-authzFrom "dn:*"
idassert-bind bindmethod="simple"
binddn="cn=info,o=org"
credentials="password"
but that does not seem to be working for me. I'm getting anonymous
binds on the back-end. Is it possible to do what I'm asking? If so,
what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Yancey

restoring an accesslog database
by Emmanuel Dreyfus
Hello
I'm trying to restore an accesslog database, and it badly breaks:
slapadd -b cn=accesslog -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -l accesslog.ldif
(...)
str2entry: invalid value for attributeType reqControls #0 (syntax 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.11.5.3.1)
Any hint?

slapo-chain and propagation delay
by manu＠netbsd.org
Hello
I have a minor problem with slapo-chain: when a user makes a
modification on a replica, the modification is sent to the master, and
then pulled from the master through syncrepl.
It takes a short time to syncrepl for pulling the updated data from the
master, but that time is long enough for a web form to reload the
previous data, therefore giving the feeling that the modification has
been ignored.
Is ther any solution for that problem?

Put the output of slappasswd after directive 'rootdn' and restart the
server.

back-sql using varchar keyvals and ids
by Potkanski, Jason
I have an interest in using openldap as an external authenticator for
our membership to connect to external services. Our main table has a
primary key of a varchar (10) and nothing unique in the table that is an
int.
I would love to replace ldap_entries with a view, however, returning the
entries failed when I attempted it.
I did a bit of experimentation with the dc=example,dc=com on a search:
ldapsearch -x -b dc=example,dc=com sn=Puzdoy
The ldap_entries keyval was changed from int to varchar 10 and persons
table id was changed to varchar 10.
Below is a table on some experiments
ldap_entries.keyval and persons.id MySQL SQL SERVER 2000
2 Ok Ok
02 Ok Fail
ABC Fail Fail
abc Fail Fail

Before opening anything in ITS, I wondered if this is a bug, feature

slapd does not start, where do I find the error?
by Jorge Medina
I got the sources (2.2.8), compiled and installed OpenLDAP in RedHat
Enterprise Linux 5 ( 64-bit.) (I also got the sources and compiled
BerkeleyDB 4.6)
Now, I am trying to start the server. I don't get any error message in
the console.
In Ubuntu, the errors would show up in /var/log/syslog
Where could I find what is wrong when I invoke slapd? Where do the
errors get logged ?

Determine current access level
by Simon Victor
Hi all,
I'm stuck on a specific issue with acls: I wan't to get the "current
access level" for an entry (not at attribute level).
My problem is, that i want to check if the acls allows me to delete or
modify an entry before i really do it.
Is there a way go read out the acls?
Is this possible with aci's? The inheritance of aci could be tricky...
Best regards,
Simon
