OpenLDAP 2.4.16: can not add multiple 'member' attributes to object groupOfNames
by O. Hartmann 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

Hello, I try to add multiple member attributes to an object of type groupOfNames and I fail. The same is for objectClass groupOfUniqueNames. Whenever I try to add the multi-attribute, I receive an error like 'info: member: value #1 invalid per syntax, dec: invalid syntax'. I can add exactly one attribute of type 'member' for this object. Well, I'm confused, since this worked in older OpenLDAP versions (I'm now using 2.4.16). The client(s) I try to add attributes are 'ldapadd' with a regular LDIF file (file works well if only ONE member-attribute is specified), LUMA and LAM. All have their described problems. I guess there is a knob I've overseen or I do something conceptionally wrong with OpenLDAP 2.4. Can you help? Regards, Oliver P.S. Server is OpenLDAP 2.4.16 on FreeBSD 7.2 and 8.0, for information.

Re: performance issue behind a a load balancer 2.3.32

I notice that you are talking about only one F5? How do you have your secondary F5 configured?? Perhaps the issue is in that? Granted, I realize this doesn't contribute to the conversation, but it does raise a point.

DetlaSync rid
by Peter Clark 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Hello, This is probably easy to but I did not find a straight forward answer posted. When using Delta Syncrepl do you use a unique number for the rid on each consumer in the slapd.conf? ie: 1 master and 3 slaves: slave 1: syncrepl rid=0 blah... slave 2: syncrepl rid=1 blah... slave 3: syncrepl rid=2 blah... Or can I just use syncrepl rid=0 on all 3 slaves? Thank you. Peter

RE: How do I get libldap to pick up changes in TLS_CACERTDIR?

The version of openLDAP I'm using is 2.2.29... I know I should get a newer version, but I have no say on this matter, this is the version I have to use. The /etc/openldap/ldap.conf config file contains only one modification: > > TLS_CACERTDIR /usr/sw/certs > > I'm not sure how I can get libldap to re-process/re-check the contents of TLS_CACERTDIR without ending the application and restarting it. I initially thought that tearing down the session and re-creating one from scratch would do the trick, but that isn't working. > > Thanks, > Lawrence > I answered my own question and I'll add my solution to the mailing list archive for future reference. Going through the openldap code revealed to me that libldap keeps a default tls context. If you don't specify your own tls context for the LDAP session, then this is the one you're getting. This gets initialized once. So if you decide to change the contents of TLS_CACERTDIR while your LDAP client app is still running, the changes won't get detected (at least not immediately). This was troublesome, since new certificates wouldn't get picked up and deleted certificates didn't cause start_tls to fail. I got around this by managing my own tls context and setting this context to my session via ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CTX, my_ctx). Whenever the contents of the directory changed, I would disconnect the session and re-create the context and set it to the session. Managing your own context also implies that setting TLS_CACERTDIR is unnecessary. Caveat: In 2.2.29, the case statement in ldap_pvt_tls_set_option looks something like: case LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CTX: if ( ld == NULL ) { tls_def_ctx = (SSL_CTX *) arg; } else { ld->ld_defconn->lconn_tls_ctx = arg; } return 0; It seems that ld_defconn can be NULL in some cases. So I tried to get around this by doing an anonymous bind before setting LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CTX. Probably not the best strategy, but this strategy is the best I have right now and it seems to work. Cheers, Lawrence

aliasedObject not found
by Andreas Schoe 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Hello list, I have some problems with alias Objects. I have setup an internal and an external tree. Some group accounts have to point from the external suffix to the internal one. Example: dn: cn=alias,ou=Groups,dc=intern,dc=de objectClass: top objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames cn: alias ... dn: cn=alias,ou=Groups,dc=extern,dc=de aliasedObjectName: cn=alias,ou=Groups,dc=intern,dc=de objectClass: top objectClass: extensibleObject objectClass: alias cn: alias ldapsearch -h ldap -x -a find -b "ou=Groups,dc=extern,dc=de" search: 2 result: 33 Alias problem matchedDN: alias,ou=Groups,dc=gfz-extern,dc=de text: aliasedObject not found System: OpenLDAP: 2.4.16, configured with --enable-overlays=yes solaris 10, SPARC The aliasedObjectName is set to "cn=alias,ou=Groups,dc=intern,dc=de" but the search result give back: "alias,ou=Groups,dc=gfz-extern,dc=de" for the matchedDN. Both trees are indexed with "olcDbIndex: cn pres,eq,approx,sub". I'm looking forward to your advice, hints and help. Thanks a lot! Andreas

Ndb-backend questions...
by Reinhard Nappert 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

Hi, I try to get openldap 2.4.16 running with the MySQL Cluster 7.0.6 as backend. Is there a documentation available, how to configure openldap and my-sql? Specifically, I want to know if I can define more than one suffix, which point to different databases (multiple suffix and dbname directives). If so, how to I associate a suffix with the desired database. Secondly, I got the connection with one suffix to work, but it looked like I have to start the mysql server as well. I thought that the backend-ndb talks directly ndb api. Thirdly, as far as I know, the backend-ndb also allows you to read existing sql tables from the cluster. How does this work and how do you configure this. So far, I am not able to do that. Thanks for any pointers. -Reinhard

RE: [Openldap 2.4.16] Unable to use DB_CONFIG
by Brett Maxfield 20 Jul '09

I think you should read the manual again. That is not a DB_CONFIG. That looks like a slapd config file, in ldif format. -----Original Message----- From: Lepoutre Lionel <leplio(a)gmail.com> Sent: Friday, 17 July 2009 10:19 PM To: openldap-software(a)openldap.org Subject: [Openldap 2.4.16] Unable to use DB_CONFIG Hello, I am trying to use the DB_CONFIG file as it seems to be the good way to configure my hdb database.

Is it not the good file for such configuration? Any help is welcome and sorry if it is a stupid question. Lionel
