olcAccess don't working
by bourguijl＠gmail.com 06 Mar '23

06 Mar '23

Dears, I've configured a META ldap instance pointing to a LDAP backend. In this backend, there are a few ACLs but which ones don't restrict ldapsearch that I do from the META frontend. I just have an issue when I set some ACLs on the META frontend and more specially when I insert attrs=xxx in the ACL. Here is my ACL = OK olcAccess : {0}to dn.one="ou=staff,o=mobistar.be" by dn="uid=a0621004,ou=ObeExternalITOnGcp,ou=partners,o=mobistar.be" read NOT OK olcAccess : {0}to dn.one="ou=staff,o=mobistar.be" attrs=uid by dn="uid=a0621004,ou=ObeExternalITOnGcp,ou=partners,o=mobistar.be" read Can you explain why when I restrict to an attribute, my ldapsearch didn't provide me any response as expected ? Thx in advance, J-L.

olcDbIDAssertBind
by bourguijl＠gmail.com 06 Mar '23

Dears, I've used olcDbIDAssertBind in a META ldap config to use another login/password to search in backend but it's not taken into account, that's still the client user that's used to fetch data in the backend. Is it he correct parameter to use in order to "supersede" the client user by another one (generic) known by the backend ? Thx for help. Brgds, Jean-Luc.

dynlist few question (memberof replacement, reverse searches)
by Michal Soltys 02 Mar '23

02 Mar '23

Hi, Few questions regarding dynlist as a replacement of memberof overlay. Version: 2.5.13+dfsg-2~bpo11+1 on debian bullseye 1) in relatively simple environment (2 servers, multiprovider, syncrepl and keepalived) we've been using memberof overlay - with memberOf explicitly filtered out in syncrepl configuration (exattrs=memberOf). This has been working fine so far across many versions - but considering the warning in slapo-memberof manpage is this overlay used in this fashion safe or are there other issues that eventually might show up ? 2) I've been experimenting a bit with dynlist as a replacement; judging from examples/manual it seems it was primarily created to populate a dynamic group while doing the search over users under a constraint of a filter; but it seems it's working just fine in reverse way as well, e.g. consider: dynlist config: olcDynListAttrSet = toukPerson labeledURI dgMemberOf group with manually added members: cn=ADM,ou=TouK,ou=Group,dc=touk,dc=pl a user: uniqueMember=cn=Michał Sołtys,ou=Touki,ou=People,dc=touk,dc=pl and relevant attributes in user's entry: objectClass = toukPerson labeledURI = ldap:///ou=TouK,ou=Group,dc=touk,dc=pl??sub?(uniqueMember=cn=Michał Sołtys,ou=Touki,ou=People,dc=touk,dc=pl) This seems to be doing what we are expecting - populating dynamically dgMemberOf with the groups the user has membership in. While this is working, is it ok to use this overlay in this fashion (search over groups instead of over users) ? 3) my last question is more of a curiosity - what case scenario are for additional [+<memberOf-ad>[@<static-oc>[*]]] attributes ? No matter what I tried in what way, neither +memberOf-ad nor +static-oc had any effect whatsoever.

ch_malloc of 0 bytes failed on Meta backend
by sumanbadra＠gmail.com 01 Mar '23

01 Mar '23

Hi, We have been using Meta backend with multiple AD domain controllers as targets. OpenLDAP version is 2.4.56 and installed on RHEL 8.6 Azure hosted servers. We have two such nodes with the same setup. I have been trying to find the root cause for the error "ch_malloc of 0 bytes failed on Meta backend" found on the two servers. Service was crashed on both servers after this error. After starting the OpenLDAP service, it has been working fine so far. My observations so far: - Our Azure team did not find any abnormalities on the servers w.r.t the memory utilisation by LDAP during the incident. - Stats around the time when issue occurred sar -r kbmemfree kbavail kbmemused %memused kbbuffers kbcached kbcommit %commit kbactive kbinact kbdirty 01:50:01 PM 25202860 29022816 7519888 22.98 13808 5385664 4736872 14.48 2349572 4157132 64 02:00:01 PM 25195656 29018052 7527092 23.00 13808 5388120 4767748 14.57 2349572 4163232 44 02:10:00 PM 25197340 29010572 7525408 23.00 13808 5386752 4783920 14.62 2352524 4158856 3336 02:20:01 PM 25201220 29016192 7521528 22.99 13808 5388296 4789868 14.64 2352516 4154632 52 02:30:01 PM 25196500 29013836 7526248 23.00 13808 5390708 4789412 14.64 2352516 4159140 36 02:40:01 PM 25181840 29002912 7540908 23.04 13808 5402364 4782228 14.61 2352528 4173032 144 02:50:01 PM 25170748 28994608 7552000 23.08 13808 5413236 4758840 14.54 2352516 4185172 1092 03:00:01 PM 25172224 28997852 7550524 23.07 13808 5414920 4729152 14.45 2352520 4182356 48 03:10:01 PM 24976028 28806984 7746720 23.67 13808 5428036 5007976 15.30 2353012 4375608 4940 - We did not set any cache specifically as meta does not store any data - Error shows 0 bytes rather than any specific number I would really appreciate if you can share any pointer which would help dig further.

lmdb partial update of existing records
by g.fanini＠gmail.com 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

What is the recommended way to update partial substrings of existing records in lmdb ? I could not find a way that allows to transfer not the entire record, thus wasting memory bandwidth, but only say overwrite a single byte within say a 1 mbyte record, is it acceptable/safe to modify : mdb_put(offset, partial_len) mdb_cursor_put(offset, partial_len) ... if (F_ISSET(flags, MDB_RESERVE)) data->mv_data = olddata.mv_data; else if (!(mc->mc_flags & C_SUB)) { if(!offset && !partial_len) memcpy(olddata.mv_data, data->mv_data, data->mv_size); else memcpy((char*)olddata.mv_data+offset, data->mv_data, partial_len);// allow partial update within existing record at offset } else { memcpy(NODEKEY(leaf), key->mv_data, key->mv_size); goto fix_parent; } ... further to that, is it possible to allow retrieving current record size, data with MDB_RESERVE, and what should be done if anything in case one opts not to write anything into the returned data } else if ((data->mv_size == olddata.mv_size) || F_ISSET(flags, MDB_RESERVE) )// allow retrieving current record size, data with MDB_RESERVE { /* same size, just replace it. Note that we could * also reuse this node if the new data is smaller, * but instead we opt to shrink the node in that case. */ if (F_ISSET(flags, MDB_RESERVE)) { if (!data->mv_size) *data = olddata;// allow retrieving current size, data with MDB_RESERVE by querying with size 0 else data->mv_data = olddata.mv_data; }

Content Sync Refresh Required
by Geert Hendrickx 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

Hi We're on OpenLDAP 2.5.14, built from source on EL 8. After dropping the accesslog on an MMR master, we keep seeing on all replica's: > do_syncrep2: rid=xxx (4096) Content Sync Refresh Required and all replica's keep falling back to refresh mode every few minutes. It's strange because we do this more often (typically after batch updates, which leaves a large freelist in the accesslog upon pruning), but it's the first time we hit this issue. We stopped the master (at a time no updates are coming in), drop the accesslog, and start it again. Does it make sense to wait until this fixes itself? Or should I fix this manually somehow? I already tried mdb_copying the provider db to the replica's, but the same thing keeps happening. In the meantime replication is working very slowly... Geert

META Ldap

Dears, I've created a META configuration pointing to another backend ldap for which I'd like to use a generic user which will be used as unique user to fetch datas in backend requested by all users coming from the META proxy frontend.

dynlist dont deliver memberof attribute
by Andreas Ladanyi 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

Hi, iam using one 2.5 Master / Provider / syncprov and some 2.5 Slaves / Consumers / syncrepl. I added the dynlist to generate memberOf attribute to slapd.conf on Master and all Slaves. Problem is only on some slaves the dynlist doesnt generate memberof attribute output when ldapsearch to a user. Iam using the objectClass labeledURIObject and attribute labeledURI to store the LDAP URI for dynlist to trigger / generate the DN of group membership for memberof attribute of the user. The labeledURI attribute is replicated successfully. User entry output on non working slaves with attribute labeledURI, memberof is missing: ldapsearch -x -LLL -ZZ -H ldap://non_working_slave -b 'ou=X,dc=department,dc=organization,dc=X,dc=X' '(&(uid=X))' results in the user entry with all objectClasses and all attributes except the memberof attribute. #start snip: ... objectClass: labeledURIObject ... labeledURI: ldap:///dc=department,dc=organization,dc=X,dc=X??sub?(&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(member=uid=XXXX,ou=account,ou=X,dc=department,dc=organization,dc=X,dc=X)) #stop snip slapd.conf: overlay dynlist dynlist-attrset labeledURIObject labeledURI memberOf The difference between working and non working slaves is the length of ACL list. The important ACL entry is: access to dn.sub=dc=department,dc=organization,dc=X,dc=X \ attrs=entry by peername=IP_subnet read by * break access to dn.regex=^[^,]+,ou=(account|group|groupOfNames),ou=X,dc=department,dc=organization,dc=X,dc=X$ by peername=IP_subnet read by * break i set no attrs= parameter at "access to dn.regex" rule to output all attributes. cheers, Andreas
