Following the quickstart guide at http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/quickstart.html and the following happens # ./sbin/slapadd -F etc/'cn=config' -l etc/openldap/slapd.ldif 57680d0f invalid config directory etc/cn=config, error 2 slapadd: bad configuration directory! # mkdir -p 'etc/cn=config' # ./sbin/slapadd -F etc/'cn=config' -l etc/openldap/slapd.ldif Available database(s) do not allow slapadd I've ensured the appropriate var/openldap-data directory exists. I've tried adding the maxsize key shown on the guide. I am not sure what else could cause this, as this is for the hardcoded cn=config database.

auditContext attribute ?

by Frank Swasey

I have discovered (on my test environment running 2.4.44 on RHEL7) that when I slapcat from either of the MMR syncing masters the suffix base entry has the auditContext attribute. If I take the generated LDIF to my replica server, it will not slapadd unless I delete the auditContext attribute. I assume this is something that I have accidentally turned on in the slapd configuration or is new in 2.4.44. I'm confused and not finding any documentation of this attribute and why it is getting included in the slapcat output - can anyone guide me to an answer? -- Frank Swasey | http://www.uvm.edu/~fcs Sr Systems Administrator | Always remember: You are UNIQUE, University of Vermont | just like everyone else.

ldap user login attempt kills slapd service

by Real, Elizabeth (392K)

Openldap gurus: Here is my setup, LDAPSERVERS: I have two ldap servers running RHEL7.2 and openldap 2.4.40. Both servers are configured with multi-master replication. Ldaps is enabled and a ppolicy applied. LDAPCLIENT: My ldap client is running RHEL7.2 as well, sssd 1.13.0, and openldap client 2.4.40. I have been troubleshooting this problem for a while and can’t figure out why everytime I try to login to an ldap client with a test user account the slapd service on only one of my ldap servers gets killed. Both getent and ldapsearch return the expected information when ran on the ldap client: ldapclient ~]# getent passwd realtest realtest:*:1004:312:Liz RealTest:/home/real:/bin/tcsh ldapclient ~]# ldapsearch -x -s sub -b 'ou=People,dc=cluster,dc=sec312' '(uid=realtest)' # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <ou=People,dc=cluster,dc=sec312> with scope subtree # filter: (uid=realtest) # requesting: ALL # # realtest, People, cluster.sec312 dn: uid=realtest,ou=People,dc=cluster,dc=sec312 gidNumber: 312 objectClass: account objectClass: top objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowAccount uid: realtest loginShell: /bin/tcsh homeDirectory: /home/real cn: Liz RealTest uidNumber: 1004 # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 LDAP SERVER /VAR/LOG/SECURE: serverA journal: Suppressed 19192 messages from /system.slice/slapd.service serverA journal: Suppressed 8449 messages from /system.slice/slapd.service serverA systemd: slapd.service: main process exited, code=killed, status=6/ABRT serverA systemd: Unit slapd.service entered failed state. serverA systemd: slapd.service failed.

Checking that account is locked

by Radovan Semancik

Hi, I was exploring account lockout functionality of password policy overlay. I would like to know how to reliably check whether particular account is locked or not (e.g. for use by a helpdesk application). It looks like from the documentation that this is not possible to do by just examining the account LDAP entry. Is that right? The locked account contains pwdAccountLockedTime that indicates the time when the account was locked. But I also need to determine whether the lock has not expired. For that I need the value of pwdLockoutDuration from the password policy. But how to determine what entry contains a default password policy? For that I need access to cn=config, right? So if my helpdesk application does not have access to the cn=config then I'm pretty much out of luck. Is my thinking OK or have I overlooked something? -- Radovan Semancik Software Architect evolveum.com

MMR: How do you tell that the MMR servers are in sync?

by Frank Swasey

I am a newbie with MMR. I've just set up my first test of this. I have found it to be almost impossible to determine (via the contextCSN values) if the masters (let alone all the replicas) are actually synched. How are you folks, who are already using MMR, checking/verifying that the MMR participants (and their replicas) are actually in sync?

Maximum number of uniqueMembers

by Rébeli-Szabó Tamás

Hi all, is there a limit for the number of attributes for entries? Specifically, I want to have 500,000 uniqueMembers for a group entry, but I cannot add more than 359,000. When I try to add 360,000 or more, I get: "ldapadd: update failed ... ldap_add: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)" The group entry look like this: dn: cn=biggroup,ou=groups,dc=test,dc=com objectClass:top objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames cn: Ah, big group uniqueMember: uid=user1,ou=users,dc=test,dc=com uniqueMember: uid=user2,ou=users,dc=test,dc=com ... uniqueMember: uid=user359000,ou=users,dc=test,dc=com I have 1 million users in ou=users,dc=test,dc=com (so I haven't run into a limit here). I am on 2.4.41, LMDB with 4G maxsize (RHEL 5.10; 2.6.39). I have no limits set in slapd.conf. Another, related issue: If I add 359k members to a group, and then I try to modify the group to add another member, ldapadd hangs. When I trace it, all I can see is continual ldap_result calls, that is, the client is waiting for the update operation to end on the server, and slapd is using nearly 100% of CPU. If I restart the server, I can add one member, but I cannot add say a hundred thousand more. Any hint is appreciated. Regards, tamas <tel:+36%2030%202100%20873>

LMDB Hanging Problem in Multi-Threaded Application

by Yahoo!

Hello, I successfully ran a multi-threaded application using LMDB 0.9.10-1 on a 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 machine with 4x10-core Xeon E5-2660 v3 CPUs and 132 GB RAM. I then attempted to run the same application on a CentOS 6.7 box with 2x4-core i7-4790K CPUs and 32 GB RAM, where I tried two versions of LMDB: first EPEL RPM package version 0.9.18-1, and then the latest version 0.9.70 which I downloaded and compiled from GitHub sources on 4/27/2016. On the CentOS system with fewer cores, my application started to hang. I have traced the problem to a periodic commit, after which a new transaction must be created. I commit periodically to avoid a long delay when the application shuts down, at which point a 2 GB database is flushed to disk. I have a single write transaction, which is protected by a mutex when calling mdb_txn_commit(), mdb_txn_begin() and mdb_put(). The threads are created by TBB using parallel_for, and each thread has access to the single MDB_dbi and associated MDB_txn for writing. When a counter hits a certain value, we lock a mutex and call mdb_txn_commit(), and then we create a new MDB_txn to replace the invalidated one. Other threads try to acquire the same mutex before attempting to call mdb_put(). After a new write transaction is created, the next call the mdb_put() works fine on my 40-core Ubuntu box and the database is created successfully, but the application hangs on my 8-core CentOS box. My only guess is that I am encountering a race condition that is somehow avoided on the faster machine. Is the above valid LMDB usage? I have tried to find information about multi-threaded writing, and I have not found any definitive answers. I would be happy to share the relevant code, but I need to first strip out a great deal of project-specific ancillary code, which will take some time. Thanks, Alex

Re: Re: ldapdelete: Use wild card to delete multiple enetries

by Parveen Verma

Thanks for your answer. So I take it that we can't give wild card/regular expression in ldapdelete. I have just installed an OpenLDAP with LMDB only [ without bdb/hdb]. ./configure --prefix=/my/home/directory/parveen/OpenLDAP_LMDB --exec-prefix=/my/home/directory/parveen/OpenLDAP_LMDB --enable-bdb=no --enable-hdb=no So I was adding and deleting entries and it was taking time. For addition, I switch from ldapadd to slapadd [stoping slapd for a while]. For deletion, I was thinking of some wild card like things to see if timing can be improved. I was adding some 100K entries and deleting them, it was taking time, so I thought it could be faster if we give command in one go and then ldapdelete just receives the output and send to STDOUT/STDERR. To Others, Is there any plan for adding wild cards or its in my fantasy only? The GURU has well decided not to provide such things as ldapdelete is destructive and a little misunderstanding in handling wildcards/regular expression can delete the DB. Thanks anyways!! ---------------- Hi, you cannot use wildcards in deletes as per my understanding. You can, however, use wildcards in search filters. If you are on a Unix-like system, you can feed the output of a search with a bit of transformation into ldapmodify. You may want to try something like this (I ran this on Linux): ldapmodify -f <(ldapsearch -b "dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR" "(cn=Parveen30*)" | grep dn: | sed 's/$/\nchangetype:delete\n'/) Regards, tamás On Wed, Jun 8, 2016 at 5:54 PM, Parveen Verma <parveen.subs(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hello All, > > Is there a Way to delete multiple LDAP entries by using some wildcards or > regular expression. > Like I have below entries. > dn: cn=Parveen20,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen200,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen201,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen202,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen203,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen204,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen205,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen206,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen207,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen208,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen209,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen30,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen300,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen301,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen302,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen303,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen304,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen305,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen306,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen307,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen308,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > dn: cn=Parveen309,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > > > I want to delete entries with 301,302,303.... > So how can I give this, except putting all these in a LDIF file. > > or how can below work > > cn=Parveen30*,dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR > >
