olcPPolicyForwardUpdates not working
by Benjamin Renard 18 Jun '25

18 Jun '25

Hello, I have problem with the olcPPolicyForwardUpdates option that seem not working : On master and slave, I configured Ppolicy with pwdLockout. When I try to connect on master with a bad password, the pwdFailureTime attribute of the entry is successfully updated, but not if I do the same on the slave. On slave, my ppolicy configuration is exactly the same as on master but I add olcPPolicyForwardUpdates=TRUE. I also configured the chain overlay and the updateref parameter on the database. Extract of my slave configuration : olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config [...] olcSyncrepl: [...] olcUpdateRef: ldaps://ldap-master olcOverlay={0}chain,olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config objectClass: olcOverlayConfig objectClass: olcChainConfig objectClass: top olcOverlay: {0}chain olcChainReturnError: TRUE olcDatabase={0}ldap,olcOverlay={0}chain,olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config objectClass: olcLDAPConfig objectClass: olcChainDatabase objectClass: top olcDatabase: {0}ldap olcDbURI: ldaps://ldap-master olcDbIDAssertBind: bindmethod=simple binddn="[same user used in olcSyncrepl of the database]" credentials="secret" mode=self olcDbRebindAsUser: TRUE olcOverlay={1}ppolicy,olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config objectClass: olcOverlayConfig objectClass: olcPPolicyConfig objectClass: top olcOverlay: {1}ppolicy olcPPolicyHashCleartext: TRUE olcPPolicyUseLockout: TRUE olcPPolicyForwardUpdates: TRUE Do you have any idea of what I doing wrong ?

Re: Replication issue during performance test with MMR configuration and LastBind enabled
by Falgon 16 Oct '24

16 Oct '24

Hello, I'm working on the same project as Meheni. Thanks for your answer, we'll try version 2.6 OpenLDAP using the lastbind-precision. However we have several questions for the current version we're using. Is this a known problem and referenced somewhere? (we haven't found it) Is it normal to find no replication error logs even in stats + sync mode? We ran some tests in sequential mode (300,000 accounts one after the other) and managed to reproduce the problem. -Denis Le mer. 11 oct. 2023 à 14:11, Quanah Gibson-Mount <quanah(a)fast-mail.org> a écrit : > > > --On Tuesday, October 10, 2023 9:30 PM +0200 Ziani Meheni > <mehani06(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > > Hello, we are working on a project and we've come across a problem with > > the replication after performance testing : > > You need to use OpenLDAP 2.6 and then set the: > > lastbind-precision > > value.

hi Quanah, Hope you are doing well. Thank you for your email.

[OpenLDAP 2.5] Accesslog size and performance issues
by BECOT Jérôme 27 May '24

27 May '24

Hello, Here is our setup: 2 master in mirrormode with accesslog replication and several slaves with lastbind and chain overlay. Everything works, but the accesslog db is quite large and filled with authtimestamp updates from client hosts running sssd. We also have a disk performance issue when the cleanup process is launched every 4h. We plan to reduce the accesslog history by setting 12h retention and increase cleanup . It should reduce the number of entries and therefore lighten the cleanup process but: I wonder if increasing the frequency will also have a positive effects (as the though here is that there will be less entries to delete). I think that allocated pages in the mdb database won't change. Is there a safe way to reduce the db size ? Finally, we considered not logging the sssd auth timestamp updates, but lastbind doesn't have any option to filter which branch is allowed to update, the only option is to set the precision to a higher value. Is there a way to achieve this ? Any suggestion will be warmly appreciated. Thank you Jerome
