Scaling Syncrepl
by Duncan Idaho
In my environment I have a need to synchronize from a single master to 125
globally distributed read-only consumers.
I've attempted this in two ways and run into problems in either direction.
First, I attempted a multi-tier replication strategy where the master would
sync to a regional consumer which would in-turn act as a producer for around
20 slaves each. It seems that a server should be able to act as both a
producer and a consumer, but in my experience with 2.4.25 this will cause a
repeatable segfault within a days time. (test_filter() is passed a NULL
filter in syncrepl.c) I think this would probably be the best solution if I
could resolve the segfault issue.
The other option I've tried is pointing all 125 slaves at a single master.
This works if I bring the slaves up gradually, but if they all attempt to
connect at once (like after a master restart) the initial sync process seems
to monopolize a thread per replica which causes any other searches to fail
for a period of greater than 30 seconds. Bumping the threads up to over 125
seems to solve the issue on a test machine but I'm hesitant to do this on
the production master which is used heavily for a variety of other purposes.
Can anyone offer advice on how I could go about resolving these issues or
other methods for successfully replicating to this many slaves?
Thanks,
Duncan.

Migrating from RHDS to openldap
by Allgood, John
Hey Guys
We are looking to migrate off our current RHDS environment to openldap. I have searched the internet and have found documentation that migrates to RHDS. RHDS is pretty expensive and we will like to move away from that platform. Has anyone had any experience with doing this type of migration? Any suggestions are welcome.
Best Regards

phpldapadmin and openldap
by Juan Diego Calle
Hi,
I have being trying to solve this for more than a month. I installed Openldap, Samba, smbldap-tools, and phpmyadmin in a Red Hat 5.6 server. I have many users created with smbldap-tools.
Almost everything works, there are 2 things that I need help with.
One is with phpldapadmin. I can log with the user administrator, but can not change anything, this is the error in phpldapadmin
Could not perform ldap_modify operation.
LDAP said: Insufficient access
Error number: 0x32 (LDAP_INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS)
Description: You do not have sufficient permissions to perform that operation.

When i add this line
access to * by self write by users read by anonymous read by * none
Users are allowed to change their info. I just want a group of users that can change the info of other users, users that have more privileges .
I also tried adding a group called miniadmins, it didnt work.
dn: cn=MiniAdmins,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com,dc=ec
objectClass: groupOfNames
objectClass: top
cn: MiniAdmins
member: uid=jdc,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com,dc=ec

modifyTimestamp: 20110523174841Z

with the following acl
access to *
by group/groupOfNames/member="cn=MiniAdmins,ou=People,dc=iess,dc=gob,dc=ec" write
Also for the second part I dont know if you are able to do this with openldap: All users are part of dn: cn=Domain Users,ou=Group,dc=mydomain,dc=com,dc=ec. Also this users belong to others groups like city1, city2, city3. In each city there is and admin that has control over that group, example admincity1, admincity2,etc. They can manage users in their respective cities, but they can not change anything on another city.
I need help with the slapd.conf, I have a basic understanding, but my logic here is failing.
I have found people with similar problems but no answers.
Thanks,

cannot restore db
by Bidwell, Matt
I'm using both openldap-2.4.24 and db-5.1.25 from source. I was experiencing
corrupted entries from the running database. I tried moving the openldap-data
folder, created a new one, and tried running slapadd with the -f and -l
flags with my conf file and backup ldif. I get back an error that tells
me id2entry.bdb can't be opened because it is missing. Isn't slapadd supposed
to create id2entry.bdb? The flags I used to configure BDB are --enable-cxx -C,
did I miss something?

retrieving dn via proxy ldap
by Ron Peterson
Hi,
I'm having trouble retrieving the DN, and only the DN, when using the
'ldap' back end to proxy my master directory database.
2656$ ldapsearch -LLL -x -w apass -D "uid=test,ou=admin" -b "ou=test" '(uid=auser)'
dn: yDirectoryID=442E65DA-678E-BEB5-3378-56331AEE1AA0,ou=test
eduPersonPrimaryAffiliation: staff
sn: Peterson
...
2657$ ldapsearch -LLL -x -w apass -D "uid=test,ou=admin" -b "ou=test" '(uid=auser)' 1.1
Why would I not see the DN when asking for just 1.1?
TIA

Setup syncrepl on Redhat Fedora
by Daniel Qian
Hi,
I used to be fine with slapd.conf way but now with slapd.d/ I am kind of
lost. From the reading I did so far I have to load the syncprov module
but I couldn't find a single document or example how to enable that on
Redhat Fedora platform. The following list is all that comes with
Redhat distribution:
[root@ldaprov1 cn=config]# pwd
/etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config
[root@ldaprov1 cn=config]# ll
total 72
drwx------. 2 ldap ldap 4096 Jun 6 02:21 cn=schema
-rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 52268 Jun 6 02:21 cn=schema.ldif
-rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 572 Jun 6 02:55 olcDatabase={0}config.ldif
-rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 1377 Jun 6 02:54 olcDatabase={1}bdb.ldif
-rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 525 Jun 6 02:21 olcDatabase={-1}frontend.ldif
-rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 556 Jun 6 03:00 olcDatabase={2}monitor.ldif
Can anyone point out to me how I can add the module required to do
replication on the provider side? I will make a document if I am able to
set it up eventually.
Thanks,
Daniel

by Silvio Verrecchia
Hello gurus,
I'm migrating a Sun DS to Openldap and I've an highly personalized

Regarding personalized schema definitions, is there a way
(script/batch/etc) to convert quickly and easly a Sun DS 99user.ldif
file to the standard OpenLDAP schema files ?
Any suggestion is highly appreciated !
Thank you very much!

How to reply with parent attributes ?
by Aurélien Lafranchise
Hi all,
When I am doing a user search I would like to get an answer with parent
attributes. In another way, I would like to get common attribute shared by
people from the same group ?
Do I have to look in menberOf or in Collective attribute in my schema ? or
others ideas ?
Thanks !

Issue with memberof overlay
by sachin mishra
Hi all, I am facing problem with "memberof" overlay. I have followed following
steps for installation on my CentOS release 5.5:
env LIBS=-ldb ./configure --enable-overlays [I also tried with env
LIBS=-ldb ./configure --enable-memberof]
make depend
make
make install
in my slapd.conf file, I have enable memberof overlay:
include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/local.schema
...
modulepath /usr/local/libexec/openldap
moduleload memberof.la
...
database bdb
suffix "dc=mybrocade,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=xxx,dc=com"
rootpw {SSHA}HL8uT5hPaWyIdcP6yAheMT8n0GoWubr3
index objectClass eq
overlay memberof
When I start slapd (slapd -d -1), it gives these lines in log:
line 27 (modulepath /usr/local/libexec/openldap)
/usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 27: keyword <modulepath> ignored
line 31 (moduleload memberof.la)
/usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 31: keyword <moduleload> ignored
When I try searching for memberof Attribute, it doesn't return the value:
ldapsearch -LL -D cn=Manager,dc=xxx,dc=com -w secret "cn=sachin" -b
dc=xxx,dc=com memberOf
version: 1
dn: cn=Sachin,cn=Users,dc=xxx,dc=com <there is no entry for
memberof>
I tried searching for memberof.la but I could not find any instance of it in the
system. Am I missing something here?
Here is the place, where I have specified the "member" attribute:
ldapsearch -LL -D cn=Manager,dc=xxx,dc=com -w ***** "cn=admin" -b dc=xxx,dc=com
version: 1
dn: cn=admin,ou=groups,dc=xxx,dc=com
objectClass: groupOfNames
