It is not that's using 63MB. It is that is uses 63MB after performing 4 lookup, i.e., its memory usage grows from 15MB to 63MB. If i try more ldap lookup (15 in total), it goes to 425 MB of usage. I tried to limit data usage via unix resource control (/etc/login.conf, yes, i am using openbsd). The process (slapd) die after reaching the limit for data memory usage.

Re: invalid syntax when teletexstring

First, sorry for having placed this thread in private, that was unintentional (maybe I should reconsider using a "reply to all" by default).

I'll need to grab this CA certificate back. I was asked to give my opinion on whether it was to be considered valid or not. Despite the fact that T61String is clearly deprecated in RFC5280/3280/2459, and that ICAO has chosen to base their certificate profile on RFC3280 (a bad choice), asking for a country to change its root CA cert signing all its passports because that doesn't follow rules I personally don't adhere to is difficult and counterproductive. I wasn't the only one to have this idea, and it was accepted. I'm 99% sure 7 bits didn't suffice. The remaining 1% will be fixed as soon as I find the certificate. Do you have any document or pointer to understand the task of converting to/from T.61, and incompatible character sets you talked about? I Googled for this, but I'm not sure of what I found (what I found reminds me of old character sets we used many years ago in France for the Minitel, with G1/G2 character groups, etc, not that far from VT consoles). The ICAO group or PKD Board could ask the Czechs to produce X.509 certificates with UTF8String encoding for the issuerName's fields, it's perfectly valid by X.520 rules (as long as the content is semantically identical, differently encoded strings are equal, as you know), but that's asking for implementors to produce completely compliant code. And such code will have to be clearly written by dozens of staffs in the world, and used by autonomous devices reading passports, etc. A big bet. Given what I see in different countries' certificates, we're far from this. I'll try to take a look tomorrow. -- Erwann.

OpenLDAP Stable?
by Friedrich Locke 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

I am running the lastest openldap version considered stable, AFAIK: 2.4.23. But it has simple problems about memory usage (ITS 6660). How may openldap project consider such release as a stable version? Thanks in advance.

invalid syntax when teletexstring
by Vangelis Karatsiolis 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

Hi, while trying to store an attribute with syntax DistinguishedName containing a TeletexString on an OpenLDAP 2.4.23 there are errors in the normalization process and the attribute cannot be stored due to invalid syntax (21). A certificate containing such a subjectDN is also not possible to be stored. Is it possible to deactivate this in this version of OpenLDAP, for example through configuration or during the compilation? Best Regards Vangelis

OpenLDAP configuration
by Andreas Laesser 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

Hi @all I've some questions regarding the "new" config interface from LDAP cn=config. For one month I was trying to set up a MultiMaster configuration with GSSAPI-auth (Kerb5) over TLS/SSL for three servers. I tried many ways to create a config with the cn=config interface but I failed every time. Now my question: Is there a tutorial or howto which describes exactly my problem? Or does anybody run a bunch of server in this configuration? Thanks a lot for your help, regards Andreas -- ========================================================================= _____________ / ___________/ Andreas Laesser / //_// /____/ Signal Proc.& Speech Communication Lab. __/ /___/ / __ Graz University of Technology /___//____//__ Inffeldgasse 12 | A-8010 Graz | Austria http://www.spsc.tugraz.at Tel: +43 (0)316 873 -4443 Fax: DW 104439 =========================================================================

OpenLDAP is using lots of memory
by Friedrich Locke 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hi folks, i have installed qmail-ldap and everything is going fine. The only problem i am seeing is that slapd is using too much memory. I have a small scenario: 20 user account, 15 group all "inside" slapd. The problem happens when local email is delivered. I take the following approach: First i disable qmail: # svc -d qmail Then i send 10 email to a local user: # echo to: localuser@localdomain | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject Than i monitor slapd process with "top" on another shell. I sent 10 email for a local user. # echo to: localuser@localdomain | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject Then i turn on qmail # svc -u qmail Now, top's column "SIZE" goes from 13MB to 63MB Is that correct? it gives 5 MB per connection from qmail to openldap! What am i doing wrong ? Thanks in advance for your time and cooperation. Best regards, Fried.

RE: SlapD is using more CPU

Dear Arun, >> And also I just want to know why my ldap service are getting stopped.... What do you mean? Do you mean the ldap unix process disappears ?
