Hello all,
I saw on a book
what book?
that OpenLDAP locks parent entries when an entry is updating... It's true ? Example :
If I'm updating "uid=username,ou=Users,dc=mydomain", "ou=Users,dc=mydomain" and all children will be locked (write lock?) while the update is performing ??
Are you kidding? Who can write that type of crap? There used to be a giant write lock in back-ldbm ages ago, which locked up the whole database, not just descendants, while writing. Nothing like that occurs since back-bdb (and back-hdb), which means since OpenLDAP 2.0 (back to 2000).
