For example: ----- s n i p ----- access to dn.exact="" attrs=supportedSASLMechanisms,namingContexts,subschemaSubentry,objectClass,monitorContext,configContext,entry by domain.subtree="bayour.com" read by peername.ip="127\.0\.0\.1" read by peername.ip="192\.168\.69\.8" read by peername.path="/var/run/slapd/ldapi" read ----- s n i p ----- This gives almost anonymous access to certain attributes to the base DN...

I write software myself and only admin my network enough to support my software development. I have a small number of users but a large number of machines hence why I use ldaps. I dont want to support years old releases of my own software. However, I dont radically change my config file formats either :) > I've followed this policy for the decade or so that I've been using > OpenLDAP and been very successful.

I'm going to tackle the conversion after I get this new system in place. Bobby

Re: checking replica dbs for consistency

I agree with you. There can/should be a number of consumers fully replicating the DIT so that they can be promoted to masters whenever needed. However, we do have and want some consumers with limited data replication. For example, our mail server runs a consumer replicating only the user accounts needed and only the ldap-hosted aliases. I don't want to replicate more ldap data there, there is no need to expose more data there and to load the server with unneeded replication operations. We are replicating on the mail server so that we can do *local* ldap lookups and achieve better mail server performance. Additionally, our DNS masters, replicate only the DNS resource records (also ldap-hosted). They don't need any info about users and aliases. We are also replicating there so that we can do local ldap lookups and achieve better DNS server performance. But I want to be able to check whether all partially replicated data are replicating as they should! One solution would be to define some non-root DN which *will be able to* replicate the whole DIT and use it in consumer configuration, then limit replication *using filters*. But this limits options and affects DIT architecture in the first place (not necessarily bad, but we would need to re-evaluate some things and it's not easy when in production). Thank you again for your time and thoughts, Nick

Thank you, As I said, this actually would work only when replicating *the whole* DIT. By the way, what happens with the operational attributes - are they (supposed to be) identical on both ends? I am expecting any hints on comparing partial replicated data (based on consumer bind DN) ! Nick

ppolicy 'Constraint violation' with no additional info
by Jean-Philippe Braun 23 May '12

23 May '12

Hi all, I'm using ppolicy for some time now but sometimes when a user changes its password we get a 'Constraint violation' error without any additional info like 'Password is too young to change' or 'Password is in history of old passwords'. So I'm not sure where it fails. Does anybody have some idea on which case(s) this could happen ? (still using 2.4.23 on debian stable) Thanks

There's no GUI tool forcing you to do so. Not my web2ldap nor Apache Directory Studio mentioned in this thread. Ciao, Michael.

Compiling on Windows, using VC or Windows SDK
by Tom Schuetz 21 May '12

21 May '12

Has anyone successfully compiled openldap using Visual Studio, or Windows SDK? If so, could you share your process with me, what you used for a makefile (or vcproj), approach to dependencies, etc? I have VC 2010 Express on a 64-bit Windows 7 box, and then I also have Windows SDK 7.1. I am comfortable with POSIX OSs and have MinGW installed, but for this I would prefer not to use it to actually compile. Am open to using MinGW to make a useable / translatable makefile, though. Thanks very much, Tom S

Is it really bad? Is it buggy? Since redhat has its own ldap 389 dir. server, I suppose they don't care of openldap. isn't it?
