How to add index for "member" of ldap groups
by Axel Birndt 27 Jan '17

27 Jan '17

Hi @All, i'am currently searching for a possibility to add an index in openldap (cn=config backend) for the "member" of groups. In my log i got the following message: > 475 admin slapd: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (member) not indexed I found, that "member" is an attribute from an ldap group. > # Entry 1: cn=bind_users,ou=admins,ou=groups,dc=company,dc=de > dn: cn=bind_users,ou=admins,ou=groups,dc=company,dc=de > cn: bind_users > member: cn=apachebind,ou=apache_technical,ou=users,dc=company,dc=de > member: cn=wordpressbind1,ou=wordpress_bind,ou=users,dc=company,dc=de > objectclass: groupOfNames > objectclass: top How could i add an index for this attribute? I searched with google and found: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/136.html https://wiki.debian.org/LDAP/OpenLDAPSetup http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html and so on...

LDAP said: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error Error number: 0x50 (LDAP_OTHER) Is anyone able to give me a hint, where i could find more information or help me to find the right search key words? -- Gruß/Kind regards Axel ------------------------------

Re: Difference between root and directory manager

Specifically where do we use the root user and > password in openldap administration? Hi, Your question makes little sense. "root" is a unix user. It may or may not (depending on the slapd configuration) have the ability to directly manipulate data in the LDAP server. That would depend entirely on your configuration. There is no such thing as a specific "directory manager". There /may/ be a rootdn defined for the various databases, that may or may not be identical per database. There may also be access rules that allow other DNs to provide management functions. Without details on your configuration/setup, there's no way to answer your question.

LDAP isn't a Key/Value database; it could be used as one but there would be a lot of unnecessary overhead - much like using SQL as only a Key/Value database. The value in using LDAP comes from mapping an application's higher level data model onto LDAP entries. Not just individual keys and blob values. > I know Howard Chu has been reporting a lot of awful but true things about > MongoDB over the last couple of years. > https://twitter.com/hyc_symas/status/664197817498509312 > https://twitter.com/hyc_symas/status/740339320645689344 > https://twitter.com/hyc_symas/status/817696625313349632 > > What I would really want to see is some numbers comparing OpenLDAP to > networked key value databases that are in production such as Reddit's two > table Postgres > <https://kev.inburke.com/kevin/reddits-database-has-two-tables/> or Redis or > even HBase from Hadoop. Could probably rig up a YCSB test without too much trouble. Frankly though I've got very low confidence in any java-based benchmark utility. Our experience with java-based SLAMD over the years has shown that it vastly underreports OpenLDAP's performance simply because SLAMD/java are not efficient enough to drive high enough loads at slapd. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

Hi, Can you explain the difference between root user of openldap and directory manager? Specifically where do we use the root user and password in openldap administration? Thanks.

Has anybody benchmarked OpenLDAP as an Object Storage Service?
by John Lewis 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

I am wondering if anybody has benchmarked OpenLDAP as a generic network object storage service. I know Networked Key Value Databases are getting more popular because they seem to scale laterally better. Most of the so called NoSQL databases use some kind of JSON over HTTPS network transport. I like the idea of using something LDAP based because of the IETF standardized interface lowers the risk of sudden changes to the interface forcing a program change, kind of like how Microsoft broke Skype calls for Blog Talk Radio. I know Howard Chu has been reporting a lot of awful but true things about MongoDB over the last couple of years. https://twitter.com/hyc_symas/status/664197817498509312 https://twitter.com/hyc_symas/status/740339320645689344 https://twitter.com/hyc_symas/status/817696625313349632 What I would really want to see is some numbers comparing OpenLDAP to networked key value databases that are in production such as Reddit's two table Postgres <https://kev.inburke.com/kevin/reddits-database-has-two-tables/> or Redis or even HBase from Hadoop.
