Complete removal of an attribute
by Benjamin Renard 19 Jun '24

19 Jun '24

Hello, I'm trying to find out the correct way to completely remove an attribute from an existing LDAP database. So far, I've been doing the following: - Deleting this attribute from all existing entries in the directory: ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// \ -b o=root '(toRemove=*)' dn -LLL | \ sed 's/^dn: $.*$$/dn: \1\nchangetype: modify\ndelete: toRemove/' | \ ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// - Removing all references to this attribute from the configuration (schema, index, ACLs, ...) My problem is that slapschema still throws an error about this attribute: 6669bbb2 UNKNOWN attributeDescription "TOREMOVE" inserted. I have double-checked and there are no references to this attribute in a database dump. In this situation, a dump/restore solves the problem, but this requires a service interruption that I would like to avoid. Do you have any ideas on how to work around this issue?

[openLDAP 2.5] slapd silently stops
by BECOT Jérôme 13 Jun '24

Hello, We have to servers configured as Proxy with back_ldap. They stop almost everyday with a SIGABRT in the service log. Nothing in the standard logs when they stop. I'd like to increase the log level to args, but I'm not sure if it would help me. Any help appreciated. Regards Jerome

In 2.4.x, openldap have gssapi.c and several apis on GSSAPI while that is not there anymore after 2.5.x. So what API should use if I want to achieve the same logic such as api ldap_gssapi_bind_s/ldap_gssapi_bind in 2.4.x?
