Hi,

I have successfully built the slapd package with SLAPD_META_CLIENT_PR defined and was able to add the " olcDbClientPr" option.

But it seems my issue was not coming from this option.

I made tcpdump capture to check the packets and I found that my openldap server was not responding to the client with control in the searchResDone.

To sum up:

Client ==> openLdap (meta backend): Control header is in the searchRequest OpenLDAP (meta backend) ==> Active Directory: Control header is in the searchRequest Active Directory ==> OpenLDAP (meta backend): Control header is in the searchResDone OpenLDAP (meta backend) ==> Client: Control header is not in the searchResDone

This control Header should not be passed to client ?

Regards, Laurent

Hello,

I have set up a meta backend with OpenLDAP 2.4.42 on an Ubuntu Server 16.04.

This is working with some ldapsearch but meta directory will be used by a VMware vCenter. The vCenter LDAP client uses the pagedResultsControl, which is disabled by default for the meta backend (according to the slapd-meta documentation).

Hi Luarent,

The client-pr code is currently ifdef'd behind LDAP_DEVEL, which means it is not enabled by default. It appears there is a bug here, in that either the feature should be moved out from being behind LDAP_DEVEL or the documentation should be removed from the man page. If you need use of this feature, you need to define SLAPD_META_CLIENT_PR when compiling OpenLDAP.

From back-meta.h:

#ifdef LDAP_DEVEL #define SLAPD_META_CLIENT_PR 1 #endif /* LDAP_DEVEL */
