Re: Slow Mod operations on LDAP
by Bhanush Mehta 17 Jan '23

17 Jan '23

Hi Quanah, We see the same issue with 2.4.58 (compiled from source). The most common operations are ('attr=authTimestamp', 3890) ('attr=pwdFailureTime', 713) ('attr=userPassword', 29) ('attr=memberuid', 22) ('attr=accountExpiryDate', 21) ('attr=pwdAccountLockedTime pwdFailureTime pwdFailureTime pwdAccountLockedTime', 20) ('attr=pwdAccountLockedTime pwdFailureTime pwdFailureTime', 16) ('dn="cn=DISABLED_USERS,ou=Groups,dc=org,dc=com"', 15) ('attr=member', 15) I am able to debug that mod operations are fast on a fresh mdb, but after a certain number of operations the mdb size is going from 300 MB to 10 GB. And, the time spent per operation is like 1-2 seconds for every mod, and 5-6 seconds when there are a large number of mods. We also use a group for disabling users, when running mod to add users to that group we are seeing all ldap binds and other mods slowing as well. We have sortvals enabled for all groups. We have the following indexes: olcDbIndex: objectClass eq olcDbIndex: entryCSN eq olcDbIndex: entryUUID eq olcDbIndex: uid eq olcDbIndex: uidNumber eq olcDbIndex: uniqueMember eq olcDbIndex: gidNumber eq olcDbIndex: displayName eq olcDbIndex: cn eq olcDbIndex: sn eq olcDbIndex: member eq Regards Bhanush On Mon, Jan 9, 2023 at 9:11 PM Quanah Gibson-Mount <quanah(a)fast-mail.org> wrote: > > > --On Friday, December 23, 2022 9:06 PM +0530 Bhanush Mehta > <bhanush.mehta(a)flipkart.com> wrote: > > > > > Hi All, > > > > We are seeing very slow MOD operations on our ldap (250 MB data dump), > > while using mdb (data.mdb is 6.4 Gb).

Discovering certificate locations from libldap
by Norman Gray 17 Jan '23

17 Jan '23

Greetings. Should I be able to discover the (default) locations of SSL certificates, via the libldap library? This can be useful when debugging why cert checks are failing -- where is the library checking? (am I using the library I think I am...?!) Of course dtruss and co can help here. ldap_get_option with LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CACERTDIR (and friends) looks like it should say this, but when I explore that, it appears to show only settings added with ldap_set_option, thus only settings overriding a default. And this appears to be confirmed in libraries/libldap/tls_o.c:tlso_ctx_init. That function hands over to SSL functions, and while in principle I could retrieve a TLS session context with LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_{,SSL_}CTX, there are clear warnings that I shouldn't be tinkering with this. The fact that I'm this deep in the code suggests that either (a) this is not supported, or (b) I'm looking in the wrong place. I could in principle use functions from the OpenSSL library, like X509_get_default_cert_dir_env(), but that requires me to know which SSL library the libldap library was linked against (and that it was indeed OpenSSL), which has its own complications. Also, if I'm confident I know that, I have other ways to confirm the cert directory. Best wishes, Norman -- Norman Gray : https://nxg.me.uk

dynlist vs memberof performance issues
by Mark Cairney 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

Hi, I've been out the LDAP loop for a bit but the recent discussion of the memberof overlay on 2.5 piqued my curiosity. Having upgraded a Dev box, removed the memberof elements from the database and replaced the memberof overlay with dynlist the queries appear to work as expected but are both a) slow and b) heavily CPU-intensive on the LDAP server. 2021-09-01T12:47:17.603513+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 fd=12 ACCEPT from IP=192.168.152.33:58738 (IP=129.215.17.9:636) 2021-09-01T12:47:17.687488+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 fd=12 TLS established tls_ssf=256 ssf=256 tls_proto=TLSv1.3 tls_cipher=TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 2021-09-01T12:47:17.688032+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=0 SRCH base="" scope=0 deref=0 filter="(objectClass=*)" 2021-09-01T12:47:17.688470+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=0 SRCH attr=supportedSASLMechanisms 2021-09-01T12:47:17.688878+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=0 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 qtime=0.000014 etime=0.000214 nentries=1 text= 2021-09-01T12:47:17.811279+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=1 BIND dn="" method=163 2021-09-01T12:47:17.819249+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=1 RESULT tag=97 err=14 qtime=0.000030 etime=0.009084 text=SASL(0): successful result: 2021-09-01T12:47:17.908889+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=2 BIND dn="" method=163 2021-09-01T12:47:17.909836+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=2 RESULT tag=97 err=14 qtime=0.000031 etime=0.000181 text=SASL(0): successful result: 2021-09-01T12:47:17.938839+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=3 BIND dn="" method=163 2021-09-01T12:47:17.939621+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=3 BIND authcid="mcairney(a)EASE.ED.AC.UK" authzid="mcairney(a)EASE.ED.AC.UK" 2021-09-01T12:47:17.940213+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=3 BIND dn="uid=mcairney,ou=people,ou=central,dc=authorise-dev,dc=ed,dc=ac,dc=uk" mech=GSSAPI bind_ssf=256 ssf=256 2021-09-01T12:47:17.940616+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=3 RESULT tag=97 err=0 qtime=0.000024 etime=0.000409 text= 2021-09-01T12:47:18.227342+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=4 SRCH base="dc=authorise-dev,dc=ed,dc=ac,dc=uk" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(uid=mcairney)" 2021-09-01T12:47:18.227703+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=4 SRCH attr=* + 2021-09-01T12:47:31.392255+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=5 UNBIND 2021-09-01T12:47:31.460705+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 op=4 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 qtime=0.000031 etime=13.233679 nentries=1 text= 2021-09-01T12:47:31.461098+01:00 bonsai.authorise-dev.is.ed.ac.uk slapd[30075]: conn=1019 fd=12 closed I'm guessing that as the values are computed that this will be heavier on the CPU but it seems a bit excessive?

Queries regarding Openldap migration from 2.4.51 to 2.6.2
by Nagesh Nikavade (EXT-NSB) 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

Hi Team, We are migrating openldap from 2.4.51 to 2.6.2 and we have the following queries 1. What is the End of life date for 2.4.x series? 2. OpenLdap 2.6.x doesn't have BDB Data base Support but has MDB, but in our existing machines where 2.4.51 is installed. Our data is populated in ".BDB" files. So is there is any guide where and how our data will be migrated from .BDB format to .MDB format ? 3. There is a utility db_verify which verifies .BDB files which is not working for .MDB files. What is utility to verify .MDB data files? Best Regards, Nagesh

newer TLS clients (> 3.0?) can't connect to OpenLDAP's TLS with SSSD
by Jarett DeAngelis 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

hi - using OpenLDAP 2.6.3 and finding that newer LDAP client libraries (like the one that comes with Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS) can't complete a connection to the LDAP server's TLS port. A machine I have running Rocky 8.6, however, with OpenSSL 1.1.1k, connects just fine. This is using self-generated certificates, but the correct CA cert and server cert have been provided to SSSD to use for login. The two machines are using identical certificates and SSSD configuration files. How do we begin to troubleshoot this?

Help for filter in openldap server
by baalchina 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

Hi, all I had a old openldap server from my colleague, and I am studying the server. I found a strange problem, when I using client(ldapadmin in Windows), I can filter by uid, objectClass,sn or anything else, but except inetUserStatus. For example, when I searching by 'sn=*', or 'sn=Jim', which jim is the exact name of my user, I will got the correct result. But when I searching by 'inetUserStatus=Inactive' or 'inetUserStatus=Active', nothing happens. I also tried 'inetUserStatus=*', and got the whole ldap users. The same happens in the memberOf attribute, which 'memberOf=*' got the whole users, and 'memberOf=cn=ABC*' got nothing. (My ldap users all have a attribute of 'memberOf: cn=ABC,ou=Groups,dc=abc,dc=cn'. So, what should I do if I want to using this two attribute memberOf and inetUserStatus? Thanks a lot. -- from:baalchina

OpenLDAP stats logging performance degradation
by Christopher Paul 03 Jan '23

03 Jan '23

Hello OpenLDAP-Technical, Using the oldie but goodie LDAP performance testing tool, SLAMD, I've been doing performance tests. What I found was that stats logging (olcLogLevel: 256) degrades performance significantly. A pity, because it is recommended in the manual. Also, it considered very useful by those of us who've been running OpenLDAP for a while. The test was performed on Dell Workstation Intel Xeon E-2630 v3 @ 2.40Ghz Xen 4.6.5 hypervisor running Linux 4.4.0 Ubuntu 16.04, 4 vcpus pinned to the hypervisor and the other 12 pinned to the OpenLDAP VM. The OpenLDAP VM was allocated 8GB RAM and runs OpenLDAP 2.5.13 (Symas RPM build) on RedHat 8.7. Ten thousand fake users were created in an OU=FakePeople for testing. I am aware that contention with disk I/O can cause problems, so I tried eliminating systemd-journald and rsyslogd in order to test "pure OpenLDAP" response times but was not perfectly successful. I ran slapd in the foreground using "slapd -d 256 ... 2>/dev/null". But then I noticed that systemd-journald still was logging to "session-4.scope". I tried "systemctl stop systemd-journald" and "systemctl stop systemd-journald.socket" and "systemctl stop systemd-journald-dev-log.socket" but was not able to stop systemd-journald from showing up using CPU in "htop". I tried limiting it also by setting RateLimitIntervalSec=1s and RateLimitBurst=1 in /etc/system/journald.conf. This reduced the logging but I still saw "/usr/lib/system/systemd-journald" taking 100% of one vcpu during the performance tests whenever olcLogLevel was set to 256. The test results I will include with this post are from the Asynchronous Search Rate SLAMD job class using LDAPSearch filters of valid random values for indexed attributeTypes "uid" and "mail" matching exact filters (equality match). Using LogLevel 256, the Asynchronous Search Rate test with 3 clients, 2 connection threads each (from laptop i7-1280P vPro Processor), OpenLDAP returned an average 10,932 results completed per second with err=0 and average 21ms response time. Then I ran ldapmodify to changetype: replace olcLogLevel to 0, reran the same test, and saw OpenLDAP perform much better. The same test with olcLogLevel=0 returned 84,286 results per second with err=0 (671% increase) and average response time of 2.6 ms (88% decrease). Watching "htop" during this test showed all vcpus firing a lot more evenly and hotter than the test with olcLogLevel=256; it was very clear how efficient slapd can be without having to do any logging. I ran several samples of each test and picked the best for each of olcLogLevels I tested. I ran other tests like 3 and 4 clients times 50 connections each, also ran Basic Bind Rate and saw similar patterns there. I don't mind sharing my configs or the test data if anyone is interested. And so naturally, I am wondering if this is a known limitation and also whether it is something that can be addressed or is a hard constraint. I guess I had expected some impact as a result of logging (nothing comes for free...) but not this much. Thanks, Chris Paul | Rex Consulting | https://www.rexconsulting.net

slappasswd generating a supposedly incorrect password hash (only when using {SHA256})

Using slapd 2.5.13+dfsg-1ubuntu1 on ubuntu 22.10: ================================================= The password hashes are differing between what "slappasswd" and "openssl dgst" emit: $ slappasswd -s secret -h '{SHA256}' -o module-path=/usr/lib/ldap -o module-load=pw-sha2 {SHA256}WIrrpN3OjEVOUf6yrH1j+o+ODuUuNBo979Od4UXnu54= $ echo -n "secret" | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | openssl enc -base64 K7gNU3sdo+OL0wNhqoVWhr3g6s1xYv72ol/pe/Unols= With SHA512 on the other hand, the hash generated by different programs is identical: $ slappasswd -s secret -h '{SHA512}' -o module-path=/usr/lib/ldap -o module-load=pw-sha2 {SHA512}vSsar3708Jvp9Szi2NWZZ02Bqp1qRCFpbcTZPdBhnWgs5WtNZKnvCXdhztmeD2cmW192CF5bDufKRpayrW/isg== $ echo -n "secret" | openssl dgst -sha512 -binary | openssl enc -base64 vSsar3708Jvp9Szi2NWZZ02Bqp1qRCFpbcTZPdBhnWgs5WtNZKnvCXdhztmeD2cm W192CF5bDufKRpayrW/isg== On an older box (ubuntu 20.04) with slapd 2.4.49+dfsg-2ubuntu1.9 we're seeing: ============================================================================== $ slappasswd -s secret -h '{SHA256}' -o module-path=/usr/lib/ldap -o module-load=pw-sha2 {SHA256}K7gNU3sdo+OL0wNhqoVWhr3g6s1xYv72ol/pe/Unols= $ echo -n "secret" | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | openssl enc -base64 K7gNU3sdo+OL0wNhqoVWhr3g6s1xYv72ol/pe/Unols= So why is the SHA256 password hash generated by the 2.5.13 slappasswd command different from the hashes generated by the other programs/versions? -- Ralf Hildebrandt Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Campus Benjamin Franklin (CBF) Haus I | 1.
