DB_Config and log files
by jeevan kc 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

Hello thereMy DB_CONFIG looks like this set_cachesize 0 716800 0set_lg_bsize 2097512set_lg_dir /usr/local/var/openldap-logsset_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE Recently , we have few batch processes running in the LDAP server for Datawarehouse groups and other apps and this is causing DB logs to grow . When I do a ls -l the size of the logs are almost 4GB in size. This is causing trouble and we don't want this many logs. How do I limit the log size so that it doesn't exceed lets say 1 GB . These DB logs are of very little importance to us. We periodically do a backup using slapcat and we can use this in case we have a fatal crash .Please throw some light on how to limit these DB logs . Thanks

[OT] is there any theory behind (|) being false?
by Zhang Weiwu 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

Quote from RFC 4526: > An 'and' filter with zero elements always evaluates to True. An 'or' > filter with zero elements always evaluates to False. My question is, is there any theory this decision is based on, or is it randomly chosen? Why not (&) being false, and (|) being true? Or more specifically, we know 'FALSE && NULL' is FALSE, we know 'TRUE || NULL' is TRUE, but is there reason 'NULL && NULL' being true and 'NULL || NULL' being false? Thanks:)

Replicating Schema, olcAccess and olcLimits
by Andrew Devenish-Meares 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

Hi List, I'm attempting to set up replication of schema, olcAccess and olcLimits. It appears replicating the schema works, but the olcAccess and olcLimits do not appear to replicate under olcDatabase={2}bdb,cn=config. (Additionally the DIT under dc=une,dc=edu,dc=au is also replicated without issue). The syncprov overlay is in place root@ldap-master-dev [DEV] ~/ldap-config/# ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:// -LL -b olcOverlay={0}syncprov,olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth SASL SSF: 0 version: 1 dn: olcOverlay={0}syncprov,olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config objectClass: olcOverlayConfig objectClass: olcSyncProvConfig olcOverlay: {0}syncprov The SyncUser has access to read the cn=schema,cn=config and olcDatabase={2}bdb,cn=config branches: root@ldap-master-dev [DEV] ~/ldap-config/# ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:// -LL -b olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config olcAccess SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth SASL SSF: 0 version: 1 dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config olcAccess: {0}to dn.subtree="cn=schema,cn=config" by dn.base="gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth" manage by dn="cn=SyncUser,dc=une,dc=edu,dc=au" read by * none olcAccess: {1}to dn.subtree="olcDatabase={2}bdb,cn=config" by dn.base="gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth" manage by dn="cn=SyncUser,dc=une,dc=edu,dc=au" read by * none olcAccess: {2}to * by dn.base="gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth" manage by * none dn: olcOverlay={0}syncprov,olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config On the consumer side, I've added the following two olcSyncRepl enteries to the olcDatabase={2}bdb,cn=config: root@ldap-slave-dev-00 [DEV] ~/ldap-slave-config/# ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -LL -b olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config olcSyncRepl SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth SASL SSF: 0 version: 1 dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config olcSyncrepl: {0}rid=001 provider=ldap://ldap-master-dev.server.une.edu.au bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=SyncUser,dc=une,dc=edu,dc=au" credentials="PASSWORD" searchbase="cn=schema,cn=config" type=refreshAndPersistinterval=00:00:00:10 retry="5 5 300 5" timeout=1 olcSyncrepl: {1}rid=003 provider=ldap://ldap-master-dev.server.une.edu.au bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=SyncUser,dc=une,dc=edu,dc=au" credentials="PASSWORD" searchbase="olcDatabase={2}bdb,cn=config" attrs="olcDbIndex,olcDbConfig,olcAccess,olcLimits" type=refreshAndPersist interval=00:00:00:10 retry="5 5 300 5" timeout=1 I don't follow why this doesn't work.

Replicate translucent ldap
by Zoli Szemelyesen 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

Greetings, I have an unusual setup and would like to hear opinions about it. We have an AD in a central office. I have to replicate an ou portion of it once a day to a remote location. (Using the remote AD is technically not an option here and a daily update is sufficient.) I add new attributes locally in a translucent setup. These attributes are used only locally and meddling with the AD is not an option either. Access to this is ok, but I need to have copies of the overlayed ldap. (Reasons: Local redundancy is important to keep SLA with automated systems using ldap and also have another local office nearby with slow/bad connection so a local copy is needed there as well). Reading docs and googling around I couldn't find a good and working solution for the local copies. - Doing dumps and copy them over could work but it's a crappy solution imho. - Replicating the 'AD portion' and the local db separately and doing 'local overlay' on the backup nodes might work but I'd prefer to use an already set up db instead of dynamically rebuild it in multiple locations). - Doing 'classic' replication is not possible afaik. Ideas or experience with similar scenario? Thanks in advance McLoud

Editing Schema
by Bram Cymet 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

Hi, I am wondering the best way to edit a schema after it is loaded. I would like to change the syntax OID for an object type. I have tried using Apache Directory Studio to do this and it just causes OpenLDAP to segfault. Is this possible? How would I do it? Do I need to remove all entries currently referencing the schema? Thanks, -- Bram Cymet Software Developer Canadian Bank Note Co. Ltd. 613-608-9752

Whenchanged or modifyTimestamp filter
by Sébastien MALHEIRO 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

Hi, I want to configure openldap to work as a proxy for Active Directory. I have : A ldap database section to connect to active directory a dbd database to store local ldap A relay database to map Active Directory OU on a local OU This work fine but I have a problem with this type of filter : - ldapsearch -x -D "cn=manager,dc=openldap,dc=priv" -W "(&(objectClass=*)(whenChanged>=20080812000000.0Z))" - ldapsearch -x -D "cn=manager,dc=openldap,dc=priv" -W "(&(objectClass=*)(modifyTimestamp>=20080812000000.0Z))" => I have no result But with this type of filter : ldapsearch -x -D "cn=manager,dc=opencg21,dc=priv" -W "(&(objectClass=*)(uid=MyUsername))" => I can see the whenChanged and modifyTimestamp attributes. Can someone help me? I don't know how to have an error code to see where is the pb Thanks a lot. ---------------------------------------------- here is my slapd.conf -------------------------------------------- # # See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options. # This file should NOT be world readable. # include /etc/openldap/schema/corba.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/duaconf.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/dyngroup.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/java.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/misc.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/openldap.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/ppolicy.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/collective.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/microsoft-minimal.schema # Allow LDAPv2 client connections.

Difference between ldap searches
by radiatejava 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

I am trying to understand the difference between these 2 ldap searches, can anyone explain ? ldapsearch --hostname localhost --baseDN "ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com" "(objectclass=*)" @groupOfUniqueNames ldapsearch --hostname localhost --baseDN "ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com" "(objectclass=groupOfUniqueNames)" What do we primarily mean by using @<objectclass> format ? Thanks

Okay so I down loaded tar and followed these instructions. http://www.openldap.org/software/release/install.html It says that everything was okay and I received no errors.
