Thank you for your answer. So, I need to enable the lastmod overlay in the primary db? Why?

Manager Attribute
by Michael 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

Looking at the OpenLDAP schema it appears to use the "manager" attribute the filed requires the dn: of the object. Is there another attribute similar to the manager attribute that will take a simple syntax such as "John Doe". There are a good deal of managers in our organization that don't have LDAP accounts and therefore naturally don't have a DN to specify in this field. I don't want the extra overhead of creating these DN's just for the sake of using this this attribute if I don't have to. Thanks.

ldap proxy to AD with local ACLs
by Meike Stone 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

Hello, it is me again regarding the ldap-backend. As told, I've installed a openldap as proxy in a DMZ for authentication forwarding to an Active Directoy. The Proxy is used by a VPN gateway. That all works very well. But now, I want to protect the AD from modifying. Only password changes from the user by self should be allowed. But as I see or understand, ACLs from a backend are used, AFTER the result from remote LDAP (AD) are coming back?! See second sentence from http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/532.html: "It allows the common configuration directives as suffix, which is used to select it when a request is received by the server, *ACLs, which are applied to search results*, size and time limits, and so on. " So is it (and how is it) possible, to "switch" the ldap-backend in "read only mode" and only pass the the password change (modify: DEL/ADD)? Thanks Meike

Hey Guys, how are you doing ? Well, I have the follow environment: **Server 1: /etc/openldap/slapd.conf ( Port 389 ) modulepath /usr/local/openldap/lib64/ moduleload back_ldap moduleload translucent moduleload dynlist moduleload back_monitor backend mdb backend ldap allow bind_v2 allow bind_anon_dn database mdb directory /usr/local/openldap/var/openldap-translucent suffix "dc=br" rootdn "ZZZZZZ" rootpw ZZZZZZZ maxsize 4294967296 sizelimit 100000 overlay translucent uri "ldap://localhost:1389/" translucent_bind_local on translucent_pwmod_local on translucent_local XXXXX idassert-bind bindmethod=none overlay dynlist dynlist-attrset groupOfURLs memberURL member:uniqueMember In the port 1389: /etc/openldap/slapd-syncrepl.conf # syncrepl directives syncrepl rid=0 provider=ldap://Production_Server:389 bindmethod=simple binddn="ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" credentials=XXXXXXXXX searchbase="dc=br" logbase="cn=accesslog" logfilter="(&(objectClass=auditWriteObject)(reqResult=0))" type=refreshAndPersist retry="60 +" syncdata=accesslog # Refer updates to the master updateref ldap://Production_Server:389 **Server 2: Same Configuration Now, I need to add a new server, but without a translucent configuration, only a consumer.

search with a wildcard works, with exactly matching string it doesn't
by Gregory House 05 Aug '15

05 Aug '15

Hi If I run a query against my directory with this filter: "(myDeviceId=ZZZ-07430.08.12345678*)" it returns a match showing precisely that myDeviceId = "ZZZ-07430.08.12345678" If I use this filter, without the wildcard and just the actual value "(myDeviceId=ZZZ-07430.08.12345678)" it returns no match. Even if I change the attribute value to something very simple like "x" I still need to include a wildcard in my filter to get any match. This works however: "(myDeviceId:caseExactMatch:=ZZZ-07430.08.12345678)" What gives here? The specific attribute is defined in the schema file as follows: attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.36200.255.0.17 NAME 'myDeviceId' DESC 'Identifies a device' SUP uid EQUALITY caseExactMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 SINGLE-VALUE ) I am no expert, but this makes no sense to me? I feel I am missing something, but what? I am using openldap on CentOS 6 and workign via command-line tools (e.g. ldapsearch). The backend is mdb if that matters. # rpm -qa | grep openldap openldap-clients-2.4.39-8.el6.x86_64 openldap-2.4.39-8.el6.x86_64 openldap-servers-2.4.39-8.el6.x86_64 Thanks for any ideas/suggestions. Best, GH

question on write transaction
by Shu, Xinxin 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi list, recently I wrote app on LMDB, found that for every write , lmdb lock a global lock when transaction is created , and release this lock in mdb_txn_commit, on Ubuntu, this lock is implemented by pthread_mutext_t. in my app, I create write transaction in a thread, then commit this write transaction in another thread, since lmdb use pthread_mutex_unlock to release this lock, according to manual , attempting to unlock the mutex if it was not locked by the calling thread results in undefined behavior, then my app cannot create write transaction . So does this issue known to community or is there any way to work around? Cheers, xinxin
