Next Release of LMDB
by Vishesh Handa 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hey guys Is there some kind of rough timeline for when the next version of LMDB will be released? We're using it in KDE and we need the patch for robust mutexes, which is currently in git. I'm not too comfortable in asking all the distributions to have that patch, though opensuse already does that. -- Vishesh Handa

deleting pwdPolicySubentry attribute
by David Magda 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hello, "pwdPolicySubentry" is an operational attribute per slapo-ppolicy(5). I was able to add it quite easily, but I can't seem to delete it so an account goes back to using the default policy: $ ldapsearch -H ldap://master -W -D 'cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com' -b 'dc=example,dc=com' '(uid=dmagda)' + Enter LDAP Password: # dmagda, People, example.com dn: uid=dmagda,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com structuralObjectClass: inetOrgPerson entryUUID: 1b0d0b6c-1115-1030-8396-1ba5239e5e7d creatorsName: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com createTimestamp: 20110512185510Z pwdPolicySubentry: cn=service,ou=pwpolicies,dc=example,dc=com entryCSN: 20150602173051.854144Z#000000#000#000000 modifiersName: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com modifyTimestamp: 20150602173051Z entryDN: uid=dmagda,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com subschemaSubentry: cn=Subschema hasSubordinates: FALSE $ cat del.ldif dn: uid=dmagda,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modify delete: pwdPolicySubentry $ ldapsearch -H ldap://master -W -D 'cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com' -f del.ldif Enter LDAP Password: [...] # search result search: 2 result: 32 No such object Given that I could add the attribute, was thought that it could be deleted as well. Thanks for any info. Regards, David

slapadd 4096-character LDIF line length limitation
by Kartik Subbarao 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

I wanted to ask if someone could shed some light on the 4096 character LDIF line length limitation, which seems to have been introduced sometime after 2.4.25. I learned about this the hard way, while trying to slapadd an LDIF file with long jpegPhoto attributes (e.g. 50K+) which loaded just fine on 2.4.25. Now, I get this error: ldif_parse_line: jpegPhoto: invalid base64 encoding char (556b9f15 <= str2entry: str2ad(....) slapadd: could not parse entry (line=14) When I need to preprocess LDIF files before loading them with slapadd, I often remove line continuations in order to simplify pattern matching. So of course from my perspective, it would be great to have the previous behavior back again. But if there are compelling reasons for the current behavior, I'd like to suggest that the code print a better error message that explicitly mentions the line length limit. Regards, -Kartik

LDAP schema issue
by Leander Schäfer 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Hi This is the current relevant part of my schema: attributetype ( objectClassAccount:1.1 NAME 'mailAddress' DESC 'The hosted mail addresses' EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match SUBSTR caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{256} SINGLE-VALUE ) 1. How can I achieve, that upper case will always and only be stored as lower case? 2. How do I achieve a validation check whether the value is actually a valid email addres - very simple: user(a)domain.tld? Thanks & Best regards Leander

Create Mailing List
by Jerry 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Is it possible to create a "mailing list" in openldap? My MUA allows me to create an alias like "MyGroup" that would then contain all the email addresses of the people in the group. I can then simply type that alias and it is replaced by the actual email addresses. I am looking for something like that in openldap. I realize that I can associate multiple email addresses to a single name; however, only one address can be chosen at a time. -- Jerry

filling up, flushing and inserting again sometimes fails
by Dominik Taborsky 29 May '15

29 May '15

Hello, I'm playing around with LMDB and I'd like to know more about how it deletes items and reclaims space. I've been having some problems with this lately. For simplicity I'm testing smaller 20MiB DBs with data values of sizes from 40B to 4000B. The test checks all kinds of stuff, but mainly tries to do a few fillups and flushes in short sequence. The first cycle slowly increases the size of the data until the DB is full, then it flushes. Then 10 cycles of fillup-flush of static-sized data follow. For flushing I've been doing both mdb_drop and removing batches of stored data. I've tried batches of sizes between 2 and 100 items. The results differ very much, depending on all these parameters: (only the 10 equal cycles counted): batch:2, data size: 40B first three runs pass, 7 fail batch:50, data size: 40B first three runs pass, 7 fail batch:100, data size: 40B first three runs pass, 7 fail mdb_drop, data size: 40B first run only passes, all other 9 fail batch:20, data size: 400B all runs pass batch:100, data size: 400B all runs pass mdb_drop, data size: 400B all runs pass batch:2, data size: 4000B all runs pass batch:50, data size: 4000B first run only passes, all other 9 fail batch:100, data size: 4000B first run only passes, all other 9 fail mdb_drop, data size: 4000B all odd runs pass, all even runs fail Note: I've implemented a simple protection from hitting MDB_MAP_FULL by some arithmetic over fields in MDB_stat and MDB_envinfo structures. The protection reserves at least 32 pages - every insert checks whether it would violate this reservation and if so returns with an error. I've read through a previous thread[1] which was similar in its nature. From that I gathered I need 3 cleanup commits to reclaim all that space. This would explain why the 4000-byte runs succeeded only when flushing using batches of 2 (about 40 4KB-sized items fit into the DB). But it doesn't explain the 40-byte runs which should all succeed apart from the mdb_drop version. And I have no idea why mdb_drop works well in the 400-byte-sized case. Can anybody shed some light into this for me, please? What can I do about it? I need to provide some guarantee the DB will stay functional after fillup. Thanks, Dominik [1] http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201306/msg00116.html

H350
by Charles Hindmarsh 27 May '15

27 May '15

Good afternoon I'm new to the Open LDAP software, but I have configured it on a windows server and all looks good. I now need to add a h350 schema to the installation and wondered if anyone had come across or developed a h350 schema file. I did try and follow some instructions found here : http://www.manualslib.com/manual/666642/Tandberg-Vcs.html?page=182 however the process failed under the first instruction : dn: commUniqueld=LeedsMeetingroom1, ou=h350, dc=TTGROUP, dc=com I am able to add other user objects etc, so the LDAP service is working. I am guessing that the dn "commUniqueld" value is misunderstood by openLdap and therefore fails. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
