Re: Replication restores deleted user
by kevin sullivan
Quanah,
Thank you for the suggestion to move to delta-syncrepl MMR. Unfortunately,
I am having problems setting this up properly. After reading through some
documentation, I thought it would be simple but when I bring up slapd on my
two servers, they both start using around 100% CPU and in the debug output
the two servers are constantly looping through all of the objects in my DIT
and saying that the objects have not changed:

LDAP Crafted Search Request Access Allowed

Re: Need information on alock file in data directory of OpenLDAP 2.4.39
by pramod kulkarni
Thanks for the information.
I tried few more tests,slapcat doesn't always hang and it hangs every
second restart of slapd.
I don't know really whether it is sharing of locks issue or something else.
Currently lock detect is set to DB_LOCK_DEFAULT even if I increase the lock
detect to Maximum locks no change in the state of slapcat.
If I upgrade BDB will this solve the issue of slapcat hanging ? , Have your
faced such situation of hanging in slapcat
I get this below message when I run the slapcat and it never goes forward
5452a973 The first database does not allow slapcat; using the first
available on e (2)

Re: Replication restores deleted user
by kevin sullivan
Sorry about the confusion, I specified MirrorMode since that is a specific
type of Multi-Master Replication and I wanted to be exact.
To answer Michael's questions:
1. Check whether cn=syncuser,dc=example,dc=com can really read *everything*
and no ACLs are preventing access to relevant CSN attributes etc.
My replication user can read everything. In fact, these deletes work when
both instances of slapd are online when the delete happens. My problem only
occurs when one of the instances of slapd is offline when the delete occurs.
2. Try to reproduce your issue with 2.4.40.
I will try this out and let you know what happens.
I am also looking for any resources that explain exactly how replication
works and how conflicts are resolved in a multi-master configuration. For
example, I know there are two phases of replication: the present phase and
the delete phase. Could server1 be replicating the data for 'deletedUser'
to server2 in the present phase before server2 has communicated to server1
that 'deletedUser' no longer exists in the delete phase? I don't believe
this problem happens when I just delete 'deletedUser' (instead of deleting
AND modifying). I know I am butchering the technical details a little bit,
which is why I am curious how this situation is expected to be resolved.
Thanks,
Kevin

Replication restores deleted user
by kevin sullivan
I have two servers (server1 and server2) running openldap 2.4.39-8 and they
are configured to replicate via MirrorMode replication.
Here is what I am seeing in order:
1) On server1, I create a two users: deleteUser and modifyUser.
2) I can see that these users are then properly synced to server2.
3) On server1, slapd is stopped.
4) On server2, I now delete 'deleteUser' and I modify 'modifyUser'.
5) On server1, slapd is started.
6) The two slapd instances replicate.
Outcome:
Both servers now have the deleted user 'deleteUser' in their databases like
the user was never deleted. However, the user 'modifyUser' was properly
updated in both places.
Expected outcome:
I would expect that 'deleteUser' wouldn't exist in either database. I would
expect that 'modifyUser' would be properly modified on both servers.
Why would this happen? Do I need to configure something specifically so
deletes are handled properly? Is this just a quirk with how replication
works?
Below are the relevant parts of each server's slapd.conf.
server1's configuration:
serverID 1
...
overlay syncprov
syncrepl rid=001
provider=ldap://server2/
type=refreshAndPersist
retry="10 +"
searchbase="dc=example,dc=com"
bindmethod=simple
binddn="cn=syncuser,dc=example,dc=com
credentials=secret
mirrormode on
...
server2's configuration:
serverID 2
...
overlay syncprov
syncrepl rid=001
provider=ldap://server1/
type=refreshAndPersist
retry="10 +"
searchbase="dc=example,dc=com"
bindmethod=simple
binddn="cn=syncuser,dc=example,dc=com
credentials=secret
mirrormode on
...

Need information on alock file in data directory of OpenLDAP 2.4.39
by pramod kulkarni
Hi,
I have taken the OpenLDAP 2.4.39 and able to work properly but when I do
slapcat then it hangs and always complains on alock.
But if I delete alock it works fine.
I have 4.6.21 version of bdb
I don't know much about alock file in bdb .
Can you please suggest is it ok to delete alock file for running slapd and
slapcat ?
Thanks,

Overlays in Consumer and provider configuration
by Uli Tehrani
Hello all,
I have some questions regarding overlay configuration for consumer and
provider server.
It is necessary to load the same overlay modules in a consumer
configuration?
Is it also necessary to configure the overlay like in the provider
configuration ?
There are overlays that are needed only for the provider, e.g. syncprov.
Others are only needed for the consumer like the chaining overlay.
But for other overlays it is not that clear:
Dynlist needs to be configured for both servers.
But what's about dds, ppolicy and refinit?
Here maybe a provider configuration is enough.
Is there a simple best practise ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Uli

syncrepl: turn consumer into a stand-alone ldap server
by Yannick Barbeaux
Hi everyone,
I have configured an ldap replication based on the producer-consumer
mechanism using the syncrepl module.
It worked fine but at first, the ldap tree was only partially imported on
the consumer because the autofs.schema was missing.
It took me a few hours (days?) to find out that I had to import the
autofs.ldif manually on the consumer to make it work properly:
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/autofs.ldif
(that might not be the recommended way to achieve the sync but that worked).
Now that I have my producer and consumer perfectly in sync, I would like to
get rid of the producer server and turn my consumer into the master ldap
server (that might be used later as a producer). I wonder if it is
possible...
I almost achieved "un-configuring" the consumer mechanism but the
"ex-consumer" has now an odd behaviour : it allows me to modify the ldap
tree with ldapmodify (normally impossible on consumer) but the tree is
effectively modified on the ex-producer and not on the consumer itself. Yet
when I perform an ldapsearch, it searches in the consumer tree, not on the
producer side.
To initially configure the consumer, I had injected the following ldif file:
### consumer.ldif ###
#Load the syncprov module.
dn: cn=module{0},cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcModuleLoad
olcModuleLoad: syncprov
#syncrepl specific indices
dn: olcDatabase={1}bdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcDbIndex
olcDbIndex: entryUUID eq
-
add: olcSyncRepl
olcSyncRepl: rid=001 provider=ldap://10.50.1.11 bindmethod=simple
binddn="cn=synchronisator,dc=office,dc=myorg,dc=be" credentials=mysecret
searchbase="dc=office,dc=myorg,dc=be" logbase="cn=accesslog"
logfilter="(&(objectClass=auditWriteObject)(reqResult=0))"
schemachecking=on type=refreshAndPersist retry="60 +" syncdata=accesslog
-
add: olcUpdateRef
olcUpdateRef: ldap://10.50.1.11
So I thought that after sync, disabling the consumer property would be as
simple as unloading the syncprov module and removing the olcSyncRepl
directive... this way:
### removeSyncprovModule.ldif ###
dn: cn=module{0},cn=config
changetype: modify
delete: olcModuleLoad
olcModuleLoad: {1}syncprov
### disableConsumer.ldif ###
dn: olcDatabase={1}bdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
delete: olcSyncrepl
-
delete: olcUpdateRef
But the ldapmodify returned an error when trying to inject that ldif file.
Such operations are not allowed on the consumer.
So I had no other choice than to edit the ldif manually (though it is not
recommended!) to delete the corresponding directives and restart the ldap
server ( /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/cn=module{0}.ldif )
Of course the server complained about wrong checksums. So I applied the
method suggested on this page to fix it:
http://serverfault.com/questions/499856/is-there-any-bad-thing-happens-if...
(basically removing and re-adding the schemas+data using *slapcat* and
*slapadd)*
Since that, the consumer is not sync-ed with the producer anymore (good)
but as I mentionned above, any attempt to modify the tree on the
ex-consumer sides results in a modification on the ex-producer side and not
on the consumer.
Is there any easier and working way to turn a consumer into a stand-alone
master ldap server?
Thank you.
