best practices WRT resizing a MDB backend?
by Brian Reichert 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

Other than this thread: http://t23307.network-openldap-technical.opennetworks.info/lmdb-growing-the… I don't see a discussion of changing the 'maxsize' setting after a LMDB database has been generated. This thread includes this response about growing the database: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201402/msg00302.html On Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD, there's no problem increasing the mapsize and preserving the existing data. (I'm making a wild assumption that 'mapsize' is a typo, and 'maxsize' was intended.) Can 'maxsize' ever be reduced after the fact? If so, is their guidance as to how much it can change (perhaps based on mdb_stat)? The problem I'm trying to solve: For my $job, we provide OpenLDAP-backed clustered appliances to customers. The hardware doesn't vary, but the size of individual customers' databases. - Our strategy for adding members to the cluster involves managing backups (compressed tarballs). Our prior use of the now-ancient bdb backend let these backups be lightweight things to manage for smaller customers, and larger customers would take the hit for having big databases. - Also, upgrading appliances means importing data from the customers' bdb-based server. My naive use of the LDMB backend has me assume the worst case, and now everyone is equally punished for having a 'big' (albeit sparse) database. My hope was to, given awareness of either the data in an LDIF extract, or data about the legacy bdb database itself, we could make a more conservative guess as to a reasonable size for the mdb backend. Has anyone written up some strategies on these topics, or in the position to provide any recommendation? -- Brian Reichert <reichert(a)numachi.com> BSD admin/developer at large

LMDB: Compare function implementation
by Venkat Murty 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

Hi all, I am inserting a non-zero length key into a database where I provide a compare function. But I am seeing that MDB_val->mv_size = 0 in the compare function. Is that possible? More details (LMDB 0.9.11 Release): I have a database where I want to delete all elements that have the same prefix. void eraseElements (KeyPrefix prefix, MDB_txn *txn, MDB_dbi database) { MDB_val k; k.mv_data = &prefix; k.mv_size = sizeof (KeyPrefix); MDB_val v; MDB_cursor *cur; mdb_cursor_open (txn, database, &cur); while (! mdb_cursor_get (cur, &k, &v, MDB_SET_RANGE)) { if (memcmp (&prefix, k.mv_data, sizeof (KeyPrefix)) != 0) break; mdb_cursor_del (cur, 0); k.mv_data = &prefix; k.mv_size = sizeof (KeyPrefix); } mdb_cursor_close (cur); } Relevant stack trace DB::compare (a, b) and b->mv_size == 0 mdb_cursor_set(mc, key, data, op=MDB_SET_RANGE, exactp=0x0) at mdb.c:5348 mdb_cursor_get(mc,key,data,op=MDB_SET_RANGE) at mdb.c:5655 eraseElements(..)

Bug ? ldap_start_tls_s successful even after removing ca certificate from ca cert dir
by SOMA SEKHAR 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

link to question on stackoverflow <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25457034/starttls-succesful-even-after-d…> I'm having trouble verifying the correct behavior of my software. Here are the steps I am performing to verify correct operation: 1. I have sample code that uses openldap library and doing a start tls to a ldap server. 2. I have set the global option for ca cert directory and tlx context for the first time. 3. After that I did ldap init and ldap start tls to a server. This is succesful as expected. 4. I did an ldap_unbind_s 5. I deleted the CA cert that signed the ldap server's certificate from the ca cert directory of the client. 6. Again did ldap_init and ldap_start_tls_s . 7. I expected this call to fail , as I have removed the ca cert. But what I observe is that , server sends the certificate but start_tls is returning success. I am using openldap 2.4 with libssl.0.9.8 LDAP *ld;int desired_version=3; if ((ld = ldap_init(<hostname>, <server_port>)) == NULL ) { printf("ldap_init failed\n"); exit(0);} ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, &desired_version); ldap_set_option(NULL, LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CTX, NULL); ldap_set_option(NULL, LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CACERTDIR,"<ca dir>"); if(ldap_start_tls_s(ld, NULL, NULL) != LDAP_SUCCESS){ printf("start tls failed.\n"); exit(0);} ...... <do bind and search>... ldap_unbind_s(ld); ... // DELETE the CA certificate from the ca dir. // Try to do start tls again if ((ld = ldap_init(hostname, server_port)) == NULL ) { printf("ldap_init failed , after deleting CA\n"); exit(0);} // This goes fine even after deleting the CAif (ldap_start_tls_s(ld, NULL, NULL) != LDAP_SUCCESS){ printf("start tls failed after deleting CA.\n"); exit(0);} -- Thanks&Regards, SomaSekhar.

ldapi:/// without TLS; ldap:// with TLS?
by Tom 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

I'm running OpenLDAP 2.4 on CentOS. I'm trying to set it up so clients can use the ldapi:/// socket without TLS, but any clients using ldap:// must use TLS. I believe that the relevant olc variables are olcLocalSSF and olcSecurity. I can't get it to work - either TLS is required no matter which URI I use, or clients can connect without TLS at all. According to the docs, if I set olcLocalSSF to 128, and olcSecurity to ssf=128, it should work, but it's not. I can only connect without TLS if I delete the olcSecurity attribute, which allows anyone to connect without TLS. What am I dong wrong?

a lot of dnMatch msgs after do_syncrep2
by Daniel Jung 26 Aug '14

openldap-2.4.39 with lmdb backend running on centos 6.4. This occurred on one of the consumers and other consumers didnt have any issue. I was running args,stats and sync loglevel, and I see the following in the log. Each do_syncrep2 shows dnMatch. The contextcsn got out of sync and I used slapd -c to resync it and it looks ok now.

Getting the memberof overlay to work
by Karel Vervaeke 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Hi. I've followed a number of memberof tutorials/howto guides, but I can't get it to work. I've tried to document my best attempt yet in this github repository: https://github.com/karel1980/openldap-memberof There is an installation script which: - installs slapd - sets up a new database - configures memberof and refint overlays - restarts slapd - adds groups and users There's also a sample query which should return memberOf attributes, but it does not. If you can spot the error of my ways, please enlighten me. Regards, Karel

Converting BDB database from 4.8 to 4.5.
by Markus Moeller 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

I have an openldap server using libdb-4.5, but somehow my OS had db-utils for 4.8 and I guess I run the wrong commands as I now get the following error when starting the server. Is there a way to "downgrade" to 4.5 ? Unacceptable log file /var/lib/ldap/log.0000000001: unsupported log version 16 Thank you Markus
