The accesslog should never write an operation that can't be replicated. If
the MOD is a valid LDAP operation (which I think it is), then it should be
accepted at the frontend. The issue may be more in delta-syncrepl's
handling of the write op than anything else.

How to enable memberOf overlay with posixGroup?
by MegaBrutal
Hi all,
I've spent days trying to figure out how could I enable the memberOf
overlay, and it doesn't seem to be easy for an LDAP-noob. I've read
like 50+ tutorials which didn't help me get it working.
Use case: I want to have 2 main groups which control access to
different services on my network. A "unixusers" which is a minimum to
log in to Linux servers (having a hostObject entry for the user is
another requirement, which is irrelevant to this question, as I
already solved that problem); and a "cloudusers" group which enables
log in to my ownCloud instance.
The groups should enforce the following rules:
– Only users in "cloudusers" should be allowed to log in to ownCloud.
– Users in "unixusers" are allowed to log in to a set of Linux servers
controlled by "host" (hostObject) entries.
– Users not in the "unixusers" group may not log in to any Linux
systems, even if they have "host" entries.
Problems:
– ownCloud complains that the memberOf overlay is not enabled, hence
it doesn't let me restrict access to the "cloudusers" group. It would
allow any users regardless of any group memberships, which is not
acceptable.
– I have a similar problem on Linux with PAM: I can't really get it to
consider "unixusers" membership for user logins, although I got the
"host" entries working correctly, so at least I can already restrict
access with that.
My guess is that it all boils down to the lack of memberOf overlay. I
also figured that memberOf would need groupOfNames groups, while I
need posixGroup type groups. I evaluated the possibility to use
groupOfNames, but it lacks the necessary gidNumber attribute which is
a requirement for Unix groups. But anyway, I can't enable memberOf
even for groupOfNames. I can't enable memberOf by any means.
My OpenLDAP uses the new configuration method and it completely
ignores slapd.conf, so the config must be injected with ldapadd to
cn=config.
Could you please help me with this?
Regards,
MegaBrutal

2.4.40 is 2.5 years old, 5 point releases behind, and had significant known
replication issues. I believe there is a build of 2.4.44 in backports for
Jessie. I would advise using that instead.
As far as debug logging, you would need to use "-d -1" to slapd, rather
than attempting to set the loglevel to -1, as some debug logging is only
possible via the slapd daemon. But your first step is to move to a current
release.

Exactly.

Yes. This is only safe if you also close the dbi in the same txn that opened
it. Which you are probably doing, if you are opening and closing on the fly.

It sounds like your replica was not configured correctly initially and
self-generated its own CSN that is newer than the one on the provider. It
would be interesting to make a modification on the provider so that its CSN
is updated (and thus has one newer than on the consumer).

[Q] "selective" ACL
by Zeus Panchenko
hi,
I'm trying to configure a not complex (as I believe) ACL ... but have some
difficulties
I have two posixGroup groups
cn=admins,ou=group,dc=foo
cn=coadmins,ou=group,dc=foo
my users resides in ou=People,dc=foo
so, in subtree ou=People,dc=foo I need to allow anything to admins (and
it is not difficult of course)
for example this works for me:
access to dn.subtree="ou=People,dc=foo"
by set="[cn=admin,ou=group,dc=foo]/memberUid & user/uid" manage
by self write
by users read
by * break
but in addition I need to allow my coadmins to do the same things except
manipulations upon the objects which belong to admins (
...anyobject,uid=adminuser,ou=People,dc=foo )
so, the question is: how? (if it is possible at all) :(
please, advise

EXOPs for PHP LDAP
by Côme Chilliet
Hello,
I’m currently working on a PHP RFC to add EXOP handling to php-ldap.
The draft is here: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/ldap_exop
You are welcome to comment on any aspect of the RFC, but I would especially want to know:
- Which are the EXOPs actually used by people out there?
- Is there any EXOP using the responseName field?
In the RFCs I read there is always something like «an ExtendedResponse where the responseName field is absent» or «The responseName field contains the same string as that present in the request.»

If you're talking about pure consumers (not multi-master consumers),
there's nothing to do, as there's nothing stored on the provider.

Hi Daniel,
This case is specifically tested in my TLS test suite in test067. It works
correctly, as expected. I would note that I use ldap_int_tls_config
(RE24)/ldap_pvt_tls_config (2.5/master) for setting
LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT rather than ldap_set_option.
