by Kaushal Shriyan 10 Jan '24

Hi, I am running OpenLdap server 2.4.59 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.8 (Ootpa) OS in standalone mode without any replication. # rpm -qa | grep openldap symas-openldap-servers-2.4.59-1.el8.x86_64 openldap-2.4.46-18.el8.x86_64 symas-openldap-2.4.59-1.el8.x86_64 symas-openldap-clients-2.4.59-1.el8.x86_64 # cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.8 (Ootpa) # As per this https://repo.symas.com/, I see 2.5 LTS and 2.6 current feature release, I am not sure which one I need to upgrade from 2.4 → 2.5 or 2.6? Also, is there a way to back up and restore OpenLdap server 2.4.59? Please guide me. Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Kaushal

Scaling slapd nodes in Kubernetes with the MDB Backend
by Alejandro Imass 05 Jan '24

05 Jan '24

Hi there! We are working on a new installation and decided to try something new.. In the past I would have gone with multi-master with ldap balancer but after reading and researching more and more on MDB, we decided to try to integrate OpenLDAP into our current CI/CD pipelines using K8s. What we tried so far and it seems to work is initialize a common persistence storage and then an auto scaling group that shares that common drive. Ech pod has as many threads as virtual CPU it may have, and none of the pods can write, except a dedicated write pod (single instance) with multiple threads for writing. Is there anything else we are missing here? Any experience scaling OpenLDAP with Kubernetes or other container technology. Thank you in advance for any comments, pointers or recommendations! -- Alex

Symas repos for Debian 12
by Uwe Sauter 05 Jan '24

Dear Symas team, Happy new year! Whenever there are issues with distribution provided packages you are promoting your own repositories at https://repo.symas.com . I was wondering if there are any plans to provide an OpenLDAP 2.6 repo for Debian 12 Bookworm? I understand that you save the effort for OpenLDAP 2.5 as it being the version Debian 12 supplies. Thank you for all the work you put into OpenLDAP, Uwe
