Hello ! I have cyrus (IMAP mailserver) working perfectly based on openldap, BUT I have some strange messages in the logs that I would like to understand/correct : * bdb_equality_candidates: (accountStatus) index_param failed (18) * bdb_equality_candidates: (virtualdomain) index_param failed (18) * bdb_equality_candidates: (description) index_param failed (18) This is exactly ONE session where one of our users (description=dbucher@ourcompany.ch) is sending a mail to the outside world (dbucher@destdomain.ch). If someone would be nice enough to explain me exactly what it means, and how to solve this problem, it would be very nice... I already searched a lot to find help on this topic, without success, I found some possible solutions but I don't know exactly how to test them : 1. define the approriate indexes in slapd.conf, reindex and restart 2. Check the actual index files to make sure they're correct permissions, etc, and then try a db_recover. In slapd.conf I have : index objectClass eq,pres index ou,cn,mail,surname,givenname eq,pres,sub index uidNumber,gidNumber,loginShell eq,pres index uid,memberUid eq,pres,sub index nisMapName,nisMapEntry eq,pres,sub I tryed to add : index accountStatus,description eq but : # slapindex bdb_db_open: database already in use backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed! (-1) slap_startup failed Thanks a lot in advance for your help Denis Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=21436 op=1273 BIND anonymous mech=implicit ssf=0 Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=21436 op=1273 BIND dn="cn=mailadmin,ou=mailservices,dc=ourcompany,dc=ch" method=128 Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=21436 op=1273 BIND dn="cn=mailadmin,ou=mailservices,dc=ourcompany,dc=ch" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=21436 op=1273 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=21436 op=1274 SRCH base="ou=mailservices,dc=ourcompany,dc=ch" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(|(&(objectClass=CourierMailAccount)(mail=dbucher@ourcompany.ch)(accountStatus=active))(&(cn=mailadmin)(description=dbucher@ourcompany.ch)))" Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=21436 op=1274 SRCH attr=dn Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (accountStatus) index_param failed (18) Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (description) index_param failed (18) Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=21436 op=1274 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=1 text= Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=21436 op=1275 BIND anonymous mech=implicit ssf=0 Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=21436 op=1275 BIND dn="cn=dbucher,ou=users,ou=ourcompany.ch,ou=mailservices,dc=ourcompany,dc=ch" method=128 Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=21436 op=1275 BIND dn="cn=dbucher,ou=users,ou=ourcompany.ch,ou=mailservices,dc=ourcompany,dc=ch" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=21436 op=1275 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24035 op=4 SRCH base="ou=mailservices,dc=ourcompany,dc=ch" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(&(objectClass=CourierMailAlias)(mail=dbucher@destdomain.ch)(accountStatus=active))" Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24035 op=4 SRCH attr=maildrop Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24035 op=4 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24035 op=5 SRCH base="ou=mailservices,dc=ourcompany,dc=ch" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(&(objectClass=CourierMailAlias)(mail=@destdomain.ch)(accountStatus=active))" Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24035 op=5 SRCH attr=maildrop Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24035 op=5 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24036 op=4 SRCH base="ou=mailservices,dc=ourcompany,dc=ch" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(&(objectClass=CourierMailAlias)(mail=dbucher@destdomain.ch)(accountStatus=active))" Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24036 op=4 SRCH attr=maildrop Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24036 op=4 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24036 op=5 SRCH base="ou=mailservices,dc=ourcompany,dc=ch" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(&(objectClass=CourierMailAlias)(mail=@destdomain.ch)(accountStatus=active))" Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24036 op=5 SRCH attr=maildrop Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24036 op=5 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24038 fd=20 ACCEPT from IP=127.0.0.1:41775 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24038 op=0 BIND dn="cn=mailadmin,ou=mailservices,dc=ourcompany,dc=ch" method=128 Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24038 op=0 BIND dn="cn=mailadmin,ou=mailservices,dc=ourcompany,dc=ch" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24038 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24038 op=1 SRCH base="ou=mailservices,dc=ourcompany,dc=ch" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(&(objectClass=CourierMailAlias)(mail=destdomain.ch)(accountStatus=active))" Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24038 op=1 SRCH attr=maildrop Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24038 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24038 op=2 SRCH base="ou=mailservices,dc=ourcompany,dc=ch" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(&(objectClass=CourierDomainAlias)(virtualdomain=destdomain.ch))" Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24038 op=2 SRCH attr=virtualdomain Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (virtualdomain) index_param failed (18) Sep 11 20:19:29 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24038 op=2 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= Sep 11 20:19:35 mailhost slapd[2099]: conn=24038 fd=20 closed (connection lost)
