mdb_txn_begin() before mdb_dbi_open()
by Sam Dave 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

Hello, 1. I create a read-only transaction on an environment with mdb_txn_begin(). 2.Then I get a database handle on the same environment (using mdb_dbi_open() within a separate transaction). 3. Finally I try to create and use a cursor using the database in 2. and transaction in 1. but I get various runtime errors ("Segmentation fault" or "double free or corruption"). However, if I switch 1. and 2., everything works. Must a database really be created before a transaction? If so, curious to learn if this is mentioned anywhere in the docs (I didn't see it) Regards, Sam

mdb_cursor_close and mdb_txn_close/abort for read-only transactions
by Sam Dave 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

Hello, The mdb_cursor_close() documentation says: "Its transaction must still be live if it is a write-transaction." This leads me to my question: For *read-only* transactions, is it allowed to run mdb_cursor_close() *after* mdb_txn_close() or mdb_txn_abort()? Regards, Sam

Problem with connection on localhost for push replication
by frederic.goudal＠bordeaux-inp.fr 21 Jan '22

Hello, I have a strange problem : I have a push replication setup and delta-sync on a 2.6.0 instance. My replication is broken. What I find in the log is the following : slap_client_connect: URI=ldap://localhost DN="uid=ldapsync,ou=people,dc=ipb,dc=fr" ldap_sasl_bind_s failed (-5) than it retries 5 times, and in the log I just find : ldapa2021 slapd[265608]: do_syncrep1: rid=415 starting refresh (sending cookie=rid=415,csn=20130927152219.157851Z#000000#001#000000;20131127140429.597497Z#000000#002#00000\ 0;20141208130549.278599Z#000000#004#000000;20220120073003.212785Z#000000#00a#000000;20220119182551.334341Z#000000#018#000000) ldapa2021 slapd[265608]: conn=1008 op=1 syncprov_op_search: got a persistent search with a cookie=rid=415,csn=20130927152219.157851Z#000000#001#000000;20131127140429.59749\ 7Z#000000#002#000000;20141208130549.278599Z#000000#004#000000;20220120073003.212785Z#000000#00a#000000;20220119182551.334341Z#000000#018#000000 slapd[265608]: do_syncrep2: rid=415 LDAP_RES_SEARCH_RESULT slapd[265608]: do_syncrep2: rid=415 LDAP_RES_SEARCH_RESULT (53) Server is unwilling to perform ldapa2021 slapd[265608]: do_syncrep2: rid=415 (53) Server is unwilling to perform ldapa2021 slapd[265608]: do_syncrepl: rid=415 rc -101 retrying every five minutes.

2.6.1 with olcTLSVerifyClient=demand fails - TLS accept failure error, error=-1
by patrick+openldap.org＠laimbock.com 21 Jan '22

21 Jan '22

Hi, I'm having trouble getting OpenLDAP 2.6.1 on AlmaLinux 8.5 to work with olcTLSVerifyClient=demand which results in: connection_read(11): TLS accept failure error=-1 id=1001, closing ... conn=1001 fd=11 closed (TLS negotiation failure). With olcTLSVerifyClient=try I get: error unable to get TLS client DN, error 49. I tried various Google suggestions: check certificate permissions, SELinux AVCs (there are none), created CA, server and client certificates with EasyRSA and manually created the same certificates, ran slapd as root and tried with a python-ldap script. [root@ldap1 openldap]# ldapwhoami -d 1 -H ldaps://<FQDN> -x ... connect success TLS trace: SSL_connect:before SSL initialization TLS trace: SSL_connect:SSLv3/TLS write client hello TLS trace: SSL_connect:SSLv3/TLS write client hello TLS trace: SSL_connect:SSLv3/TLS read server hello TLS trace: SSL_connect:TLSv1.3 read encrypted extensions TLS trace: SSL_connect:SSLv3/TLS read server certificate request TLS certificate verification: depth: 1, err: 0, subject: /C=NL/O=Example/OU=IT/CN=OpenLDAP-CA, issuer: /C=NL/O=Example/OU=IT/CN=OpenLDAP-CA TLS certificate verification: depth: 0, err: 0, subject: /C=NL/O=Example/OU=IT/CN=<FQDN>, issuer: /C=NL/O=Example/OU=IT/CN=OpenLDAP-CA TLS trace: SSL_connect:SSLv3/TLS read server certificate TLS trace: SSL_connect:TLSv1.3 read server certificate verify TLS trace: SSL_connect:SSLv3/TLS read finished TLS trace: SSL_connect:SSLv3/TLS write change cipher spec TLS trace: SSL_connect:SSLv3/TLS write client certificate TLS trace: SSL_connect:SSLv3/TLS write finished ...

OpenLDAP 2.6.1 testing call #1 (OpenLDAP 2.6.1)
by Quanah Gibson-Mount 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

This is the first testing call for OpenLDAP 2.6.1. Depending on the results, this may be the only testing call. Generally, get the code for RE26: <https://git.openldap.org/openldap/openldap/-/archive/OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_2_6/o…> Extract, configure, and build. Execute the test suite (via make test) after it is built. Optionally, cd tests && make its to run through the regression suite. We are aware of two issues with the regression suite tests failing (its4448 and its8752), so no need to report failures for those. Thanks!

CRL refresh in OpenLDAP
by Xabier Berasategui Cano 19 Jan '22

19 Jan '22

Hi, We have an application that uses a client certificate to authenticate to OpenLDAP server 2.4.46 at SSL/TLS level. Among other things, olcTLSCRLCheck directive is configured to "peer" value to verify if the client certificate has not been revoked and the CRL is updated every day via script and expires after 15 days. Everything works well until the 15 days are exceeded and the authentication of the application fails since the server has not been restarted to refresh the CRL. Is there a way to refresh the CRL without restarting the server? Thanks in advance Regards P Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.

Members of groups should be able to change user passwords. Can't find the error im mi Ldif file
by cupcake＠domayn.ch 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

Hi there, I can't seem to find my error in my Ldif file. I have an openLDAP server and I'd like to change the config, that every member of the group sys_allow_pw_change is able to change the password of every user. It's been a while since I've last used openLDAP. I got the current ACLs using ldapsearch -Q -LLL -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b \ > cn=config '(olcDatabase={1}mdb)' olcAccess dn: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config olcAccess: {0}to attrs=userPassword by self write by anonymous auth by * none olcAccess: {1}to attrs=shadowLastChange by self write by * read olcAccess: {2}to * by * read So I've created pwchange.ldif with the help of this serverfault post (https://serverfault.com/questions/1064914/q-what-is-the-correct-way-to-add-…): dn: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config changetype: modify replace: olcAccess olcAccess: {0}to attrs=userPassword by self write by dn="cn=admin,dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=com" manage by dn="[cn=sys_allow_pw_change,ou=Groups,dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=com]/memberUid & user/uid" write by anonymous auth by * none - add: olcAccess olcAccess: {1}to attrs=shadowLastChange by self write by * read - add olcAccess olcAccess: {2}to * by * read So I'm adding the group in question to olcAccess{0} and re adding all the current config. However: ldapmodify -a -x -D "cn=admin,dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=com" -w Passw0rd! -H ldap:// -f pwchange.ldif results in ldapmodify: invalid format (line 9) entry: "olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config" (Line 9 is by * none) Thanks for any pointers!
