openldap 2.2 - slapd monitor not showing cachesize, dncachsize etc.
by ping-shin ching 15 Aug '12

Hi, I've configured slapd.conf for monitoring with the config below. The backend is bdb ====database monitoraccess to * by * read==== Now when I do the search below, I see a lot of information, but do not see the attibutes 'cachesize', 'dncachesize' etc. ldapsearch -x -D 'cn=Manager,o=bigpond,c=au' -W -b 'cn=Monitor' -s base '(objectClass=*)' '*' '+' version: 1dn: cn=MonitorobjectClass: monitorServerstructuralObjectClass: monitorServercn: Monitordescription: This subtree contains monitoring/managing objects.description: This object contains information about this server.createTimestamp: 20120814040144ZmodifyTimestamp: 20120814040144ZmonitoredInfo: @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.2.30- (Aug 13 2012 11:53:25) $subschemaSubentry: cn=SubschemahasSubordinates: TRUE dn: cn=Overlay,cn=MonitorobjectClass: monitorContainerstructuralObjectClass: monitorContainercn: OverlaycreateTimestamp: 20120814040144ZmodifyTimestamp: 20120814040144ZsubschemaSubentry: cn=SubschemahasSubordinates: FALSE

delta-syncrepl stopped receiving changes
by David Hawes 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

My environment consists of 1 provider and 6 consumer machines using delta-syncrepl for replication. For some reason, one of the consumer machines stopped receiving changes for several days and did not resume syncing until a restart (SIGKILL). All machines are running 2.4.30 with BerkeleyDB 4.7.25 (plus patches), the hdb backend, and tcmalloc. I notice that 2.4.31 has several syncrepl fixes, and I intend to upgrade in the near future, but my issue seems different than the ITS issues listed in the change log. I'm posting here to determine if this has been fixed or if I need to create a new ITS issue. When I noticed one of the machines was not syncing properly I first ensured that I could still query it. When I verified that, I decided to change the LogLevel to 'any' to make sure I wasn't missing any logs that would help me figure out what the issue was. Unfortunately, this LDAP modify caused OpenLDAP to hang. The operation never finished, and new queries using ldapsearch would simply hang as well. At this point I got a gdb backtrace and db_stat from BDB. db_stat -c: ===== Default locking region information: 640 Last allocated locker ID 0x7fffffff Current maximum unused locker ID 9 Number of lock modes 3000 Maximum number of locks possible 1500 Maximum number of lockers possible 1500 Maximum number of lock objects possible 80 Number of lock object partitions 47 Number of current locks 1262 Maximum number of locks at any one time 19 Maximum number of locks in any one bucket 0 Maximum number of locks stolen by for an empty partition 0 Maximum number of locks stolen for any one partition 340 Number of current lockers 341 Maximum number of lockers at any one time 44 Number of current lock objects 683 Maximum number of lock objects at any one time 6 Maximum number of lock objects in any one bucket 0 Maximum number of objects stolen by for an empty partition 0 Maximum number of objects stolen for any one partition 3799M Total number of locks requested (3799770221) 3799M Total number of locks released (3799714045) 0 Total number of locks upgraded 73 Total number of locks downgraded 73M Lock requests not available due to conflicts, for which we waited (73026840) 5165 Lock requests not available due to conflicts, for which we did not wait 50963 Number of deadlocks 0 Lock timeout value 0 Number of locks that have timed out 0 Transaction timeout value 0 Number of transactions that have timed out 1MB 400KB The size of the lock region 70M The number of partition locks that required waiting (1%) 15M The maximum number of times any partition lock was waited for (0%) 15018 The number of object queue operations that required waiting (0%) 54M The number of locker allocations that required waiting (2%) 0 The number of region locks that required waiting (0%) 6 Maximum hash bucket length ===== The number of deadlocks was pretty shocking; I've never seen that value non-zero.

write an acl with sets and compare connecting peername.ip with ipHost entry (ipHostNumber)
by Uwe Werler 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Hallo all, is it possible to write an ACL (with sets) which extracts the peername.ip from within an existing entry of ipHost an then compares the connecting peername.ip? My idea is to only allow access to this entry by connecting peername.ip 192.168.1.1: dn: cn=myhost.wdf.sap.corp,ou=HOSTS objectClass: ipHost objectClass: device cn: myhost.wdf.sap.corp ipHostNumber: 192.168.1.1 Background: I want to use ovleray nssov and therefore I need all host information at each host locally in ldap. 'cause we have several thousands of hosts I dont want to replicate all ipHosts to each local database. Thanks for any advice/hint. Regards Uwe

OpenLDAP and virtual directory
by Gilles Tual 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Hi, I was wondering if I could use OpenLDAP backend to simulate a virtual directory for a project. Is it possible ? If yes, is there documentation on it, or help (i'm not a pro on LDAP and virtual directory). Thanks a lot, have a nice day !

In order to use the NFS URL format, I think we would be compelled to correct RFC 2224, probably by issuing an RFC that supersedes it. While certainly possible, I'm not sure the NFSv4 working group is prepared to hold up the NSDB draft for such an undertaking at this point. Naturally there may be simpler alternatives. That said, I can present this design choice (the use of an NFS URL to represent an fs_locations entry in LDAP) to them for discussion. Thanks for the excellent feedback. -- Chuck Lever chuck[dot]lever[at]oracle[dot]com

First use back relay + overlay pbind and second use back-meta/back-ldap. Both within the same naming context as the real database but configured with "hidden on" to avoid naming context issues. Both work now. Another question is if it's possible to use overlay nssov within multiple databases like one for hosts and another for users? Thanks! Regards Uwe

How to enable LDAP ports in iptables for OpenLDAP client node
by Qian Zhang 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hi All, I have a RHEL 6.2 machine which is set up as an OpenLDAP client, and I can log into it with LDAP user. Now for security concern, I need to prohibit any not-root user to access the network: # /etc/init.d/iptables status Table: filter Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination 1 REJECT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 ! owner UID match 0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable But if I did this in iptables, LDAP has problems, "getent passwd" can not get any LDAP users, and I can no longer log into this machine with LDAP user. So I think I need to open LDAP ports in iptables, what I did is: # /etc/init.d/iptables status Table: filter Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination 1 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp spt:389 dpt:389 2 ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp spt:389 dpt:389 3 REJECT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 ! owner UID match 0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable But it did not work, any ports I missed? Or what I set up in iptables are not correct? My /etc/openldap/ldap.conf: URI ldap://172.17.27.159:389 BASE dc=base,dc=com TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts Regards, Qian

overlay nssov + SASL
by Uwe Werler 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hello list, I want to use overlay nssov and it works great in my test setup. Up to now we use pass through authentication with saslauthd to authenticate against an AD-Domain. Internally nssov uses simple binds against the local database so I can't use pass through authentication. With overlay pbind I can do simple binds against an external ldap server. Is there another possibility to use overlay nssov in combination with saslauthd? Thanks for any hints. Regards Uwe
