Hi!

I’m about to migrate openLDAP 2.4 from SLES12 SP5 to openLDAP 2.5 from SLES15 SP6, following the rather terse https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin25/appendix-upgrading.html.

I’ve removed the policy schema as advised from the LDIF export of cn=config, but now it seems that slapadd cannot use "olcPPolicyDefault" in an ACL:

# slapadd -v -n0 -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -S 1 -w -l 0.ldif

added: "cn=config" (00000001)

added: "cn=module{0},cn=config" (00000001)

added: "cn=schema,cn=config" (00000001)

added: "cn={0}core,cn=schema,cn=config" (00000001)

added: "cn={1}cosine,cn=schema,cn=config" (00000001)

added: "cn={2}inetorgperson,cn=schema,cn=config" (00000001)

added: "cn={3}rfc2307bis,cn=schema,cn=config" (00000001)

added: "cn={4}yast,cn=schema,cn=config" (00000001)

added: "cn={5}sudo,cn=schema,cn=config" (00000001)

added: "olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config" (00000001)

olcAccess: value #1: unknown attr "olcPPolicyDefault" in to clause.

<access clause> ::= access to <what> [ by <who> [ <access> ] [ <control> ] ]+

slapadd: could not add entry dn="olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config" (line=908): ▒5=▒

Closing DB...

(Also note the garbage in the error message that seems to appear for any slapadd error)

As noted Openldap is SUSE’s version (openldap2_5-2.5.18+31-150500.11.12.1.x86_64) they re-introduced in SLES15 SP5 (maybe due to failing to provide a working migration tool to 389-DS and a proper administration manual)

So is it a bug that the attribute cannot be used in ACL, or is it a configuration error on my side? (line 908 is “dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config”)

The actual line in question is like this:

olcAccess: {1}to attrs=olcPPolicyDefault by dn.exact="uid=PP-Checker,ou=system,dc=domain,dc=org" read by * break

Kind regards,
