LMDB docs refresh?
by Arto Bendiken
Perhaps the generated Doxygen output at http://symas.com/mdb/doc/
might use a refresh for the latest LMDB release?
The docs currently published there are 11 months old, and do not
include e.g. any information on the recently-added mdb_txn_id()
function--a good function to have, by the way.

ACL to allow all but one OU
by Olaf Hopp
Hi listers,
I have ~40 departments in several ou's and I need an ACL to allow
access for one user to all but one OU.
I do not want to forbid that ou in question and thus implicitly allowing all the others.
I want to formulate this explicitly, so I can directly see what is allowed.
Moreover the names of the ou's are very similar to each other, something like:
ou=aaaa,dc=...
ou=abaa,dc=...
ou=bbaa,dc=...
ou=bbbb,dc=...
and suppose I want to disallow access to the ou=abaa.
I ended up with two ACLs:
the first one to forbid ou=abaa:
access to dn.sub=ou=abaa,dc=.... \
attrs=entry
by dn=uid=foo,dc=.... none
by * break
and then allowing access to all ou's with
access to dn.regex=ou=[^,]+,dc=... \
attrs=....
by dn=uid=foo,dc=...
by * break
Is it possible to formulate this with just one ACL ?
I tried something like "ou=!abaa" with just the second ACL but failed.
Then I tried ou=[^a][^b][^a][^a]
but this matches also the ou=bbbb to wich the uid=foo should have access.
Thanks, Olaf

Replication speed and data sizing (mdb)
by Brian Wright
We are using 2.4.39. I realize there are newer versions available, but
at the time when we started our LDAP project, this was the version
available.
We are testing n-way master replication along with a large number of
records using lmdb. Here's the config:
* 8 way replication with 8 nodes (each node having 7 other connections)
* 50k records
* Inserting the records into one cluster node to replicate to all the rest
The problems obvserved:
* Some nodes are faster at replication than others. In general, the
time to complete replication is slower than expected. In my test
environment I found that 50k records can take up to 2 hours for some
nodes to complete. The fastest nodes complete in 1.5 hours. Because
these records are brand new insertions, delta based replication
wouldn't help here.
* When the replication is completed, some of the data.mdb files are
larger than others (sometimes by an order of magnitude).
We would like to understand the reason behind these two problems above.
First, the replication system seems unusually slow. Second, we need to
understand why the data.mdb file grows sometimes far larger on one node
than the rest of the nodes. For example, in our production environment,
while most nodes were around 1GB in data size, one node stored in excess
of 40GB in data.mdb. In my testing lab, my the 50k record insertion left
most nodes with a data.mdb size of 150MB. On one of the nodes, the data
size was 262MB.
Note that I've also tried alternative replication connectivity
approaches to attempt to reduce the number of connections per server,
but that did not improve replication performance or the varying data
sizes in the end.
If updating to a newer version helps resolve the above observed
problems, please let me know.
Any tuning or debugging advice here would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Adding Members to Groups
by Aneela Saleem
Hi all,
I have used 'posixGroup' objectClass for creating groups, and
'posixAccount' object class for creating users, which uses 'gidNumber'
property to associate to a specific group (created by posixGroup).
I have to sync LDAP users/groups in Apache Ranger, that uses 'groupOfNames'
object class and 'member/memberof' property in user object. But in
'groupOfNames' objectClass we have to add members at the time of creation
of group.
Is there any way that we can add members to already created groups later on?

Poor ssh in the machine you are connecting to is completely
oblivious to ldap. As of now it only knows about publickey and
password. Try setting up sshd to use pam and then get ldap from there

Is Openldap a Authorization or Authentication system?
by Kaushal Shriyan
Hi,
I am not sure if i understand the difference between Authorization and
Authentication. Does Openldap support both or it supports or configured as
Authorization or Authentication server? I will appreciate if somebody can
help me understand with some examples.

When using the rwm, openldap down
by デージーネット 大野 公 善
Hi.
When I changed configuration for openldap, openldap stopped. (Aborted)
I was carried out the following operations.
(1) I created the following environment.
---- ---- ---- ----
# ldapsearch -LLL -Y EXTERNAL -b
'olcOverlay={0}rwm,olcDatabase={1}bdb,cn=config' -H ldapi:///
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
dn: olcOverlay={0}rwm,olcDatabase={1}bdb,cn=config

objectClass: olcRwmConfig
olcOverlay: {0}rwm
olcRwmRewrite: {0}rwm-rewriteEngine on
olcRwmRewrite: {1}rwm-rewriteContext searchFilter
olcRwmRewrite: {2}rwm-rewriteRule "aaa" "111" ":@"
olcRwmRewrite: {3}rwm-rewriteRule "bbb" "222" ":@"
---- ---- ---- ----
(2) I created the following ldif file.
---- ---- ---- ----
dn: olcOverlay={0}rwm,olcDatabase={1}bdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
delete: olcRwmRewrite
olcRwmRewrite: rwm-rewriteRule "aaa" "111" ":@"
-
---- ---- ---- ----
(3) I was carried out ldapmodify.
---- ---- ---- ----
# ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f down.ldif
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
modifying entry "olcOverlay={0}rwm,olcDatabase={1}bdb,cn=config"
ldap_result: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
---- ---- ---- ----
In this case, openldap has stopped.
