Intensive disk write after long-running LDAP activity terminated
by Tamás Rébeli-Szabó 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Hello, we had a long-running (several days) process doing add and modify operations in OpenLDAP 2.4.41 + LMDB backend + SLES 11.3. When the process was stopped, we experienced minutes of intensive disk write by LMDB. The LMDB option dbnosync is not set. Checking git we see that there should be a transaction commit in LMDB after every LDAP add/modify operation, and the updating of on-disk contents should happen after each LDAP add/modify operation. Furthermore, at the OS level, dirty pages should be generally flushed every 5 seconds. So we wonder what could possibly cause such a significant I/O burst? Regards, tamas

Re: Error when try modify olcTLS*

Hi Quanah, Sorry about my delay to answer you, I've been in vacation and away from PC. I understand that I should use the same name when I'll update this file to make it easy, but it is a new installation and this reason that I need modify this entries. I've tested your suggestion and delete operation has worked fine, but I've still had the same problem described previously when I've tried add new olcTLSCertificateFile or new olcTLSCertificateKeyFile or new olcTLSCACertificateFile. I don't understand the reason for that.

slapd crashing
by Alex Hebra 19 Jul '19

19 Jul '19

Hi there, I've MMR running on two FreeBSD servers with OpenLDAP 2.4.47. After few days one node always crash with signal 11. The last log I got from slapd is: Jul 17 18:04:19 slapd[676]: syncprov_matchops: skipping original sid 001 When I try to restart the slapd process it eats all the ram memory, until the server become irresponsible. I have to delete the database and re-sync everything to make it works again. Is there a way to find out how can I fix this issue? Thanks.

Hi everybody, I would like to apologize me about this email discussion, in specially to Quanah and Howard. After a ton of emails sent, specially the last Quanah email, I've finally understood my error. Due it be a beginner error, I'm very embarrassed to importune you about it. Then, I would like to apologize me with Quanah, Howard and everyone on openldap-technical(a)openldap.org list about time spent in this problem. Finally, I would like thank all involved that has helped me to solve my problem. OBS: I've removed -aes256 when I've generated server key aiming no encrypting the key. Then I've got to add all olcTLS* entries with ldapmodify and ldif file described in previous emails. -- Igor Sousa Em qui, 18 de jul de 2019 às 17:35, Quanah Gibson-Mount <quanah(a)symas.com> escreveu: > --On Thursday, July 18, 2019 1:08 PM -0700 Quanah Gibson-Mount > <quanah(a)symas.com> wrote: > > >> build@c7rpm:/home/build/git/rheldap/RHEL7_x86_64/BUILD...lapd > >> Jul 18 11:55:29 localhost.localdomain slapd[2133]: main: TLS init def > ctx > >> failed: -1 > >> Jul 18 11:55:29 localhost.localdomain slapd[2133]: Enter PEM pass > phrase: > > > > This clearly indicates your key file is password protected, which is not > > supported. > > To be clear, it's not supported to use a password protected key file and > then try and start slapd via an automated init system such as systemd.

This is expected to be the only testing call for 2.4.48, with an anticipated release, depending on feedback, during the week of 2019/07/22. Specific to this release, it would be helpful if anyone using back-ldap or back-meta with TLS can confirm their existing configurations continue to work (Due to the changes related to ITS#8427). Generally, get the code for RE24: <http://www.openldap.org/devel/gitweb.cgi?p=openldap.git;a=snapshot;h=refs/h…> Configure & build. Execute the test suite (via make test) after it is built.

Hello, make mdb and make mdb-its, all succeded under CentOS 7. As far as concerned back-ldap, commit e224920ea5641b71bbd38604cb58bd1922537e7d (ITS#8427 Take late TLS configuration into account) has fixed the regression introduced by commit 6f623dfa1ca65698c19ccc6c058cd170e633384e (ITS#8427 Set up TLS settings on each reconnection) with my test configuration.

ldap_destroy() vs. ldap_unbind()
by Edgar Fuß 16 Jul '19

16 Jul '19

Hello. I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but the only thing close to an answer I could find is from a post of Hallvard B Furuseth to this list (pre-dating the actual ldap_destroy() introduction) stating that ldap_unbind() was mis-named and should have been called ldap_destroy(). The question is whether to use ldap_destroy() or ldap_unbind(). More precisely, the question is which one is preferable in a single-threaded application that never calls ldap_dup(). >From reading the man page of ldap_dup()/ldap_destroy() and above mentioned post, I would get the impression that technichally, it doesn't matter, so I would gess ldap_unbind() to be slightly preferable because it works with pre-2.4.24 OpenLDAP. However, proposing such an adjustment (https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/2849 in case anyone cares[*]) was vigorously turned down stating I didn't know what I was talking about so I might be missing something. Could someone shed light on this? I'm in no way an LDAP or OpenLDAP expert, just trying to read man pages. [*] There's an error in my comment there: I wrote "2.4" where it should read "2.4.24".
