All, I have a problem with a new OpenLDAP configuration that is likely my own doing, but I am unable to discern the cause. Environment: Solaris 9, OpenLDAP 2.4.16, Berkeley DB 4.7.25 I installed the OpenLDAP software from the stable release at the openldap.org site. After some basic configuration and very basic tests, I did the "full" slapd.conf and DB_CONFIG configurations using various resources, including the Admin Guide and the FAQ-o-matic. All seemed to be going well until I tried to add (ldapmodify -a w/ldif files) some new "person" entries based on data I want to migrate. The first one was OK, but subsequent ones never completed. When the problem occurs, there's no return from the ldapmodify command and likewise any "db_stat" commands that I attempt. When I look at the log (local4.debug) entries, the last entry is for the "ADD dn="uid=DCM...". The daemon is *not* looping, there's just never a response. [I need to break to get my prompt back.] When I attempt to stop the daemon, I get "waiting for 1 operations/tasks to finish" and I have to kill the daemon to get it to stop. When I restart, it goes through DB recovery and everything is as it was before the ldapmodify -a started. A colleague suggested something that seems to be an indicator: - an add of "dn: uid=DCM11,ou=People,o=XXXX" works fine - an add of "dn: uid=DCM1123,ou=People,o=XXXX" works fine - an add of "dn: uid=DCM11234,ou=People,o=USNS" does *not* work So it seems that "uid" values with lengths over 7 characters fail. Yeah, this seems plenty odd to me, but I've created\tested\deleted DBs multiple times over and this still happens consistently. I have tried multiple levels of "debug", down to "488" anyway, but still no message that seems like an error. Not wanting to swamp anyone, here's some basic config extracts: ===DB_CONFIG=== set_cachesize 0 67108864 1 set_lg_bsize 2097152 set_lg_max 10485760 set_lg_regionmax 262144 === ===slapd_t10.conf=== [obviously stripped] ... backend bdb database bdb suffix "o=XXXX" checkpoint 128 15 index objectClass eq index uid pres,eq [Have tried taking this out & re-creating - no difference] lastmod on monitoring on ... === Anyone have any ideas? I have spent many hours looking at this, but I'm willing to believe it's something simple I can't see. Thanks in advance for you help. DCM
