[Fedora-directory-devel] Support for bitwise operations?
by Andrew Bartlett
It seems to me that Fedora DS does not support Microsoft's extended
match bitwise operations.
I chatted with Pete about it on IRC, but thought to document it here for
discussion. While it would be technically possible for me to filter
these on the client side, it becomes silly fast. I need the LDAP
backend side to handle these.
This is the kind of search Fedora DS needs to accept, for Samba4 to use
it as a backend:
(|(&(!(groupType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=1))(groupType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2147483648)(groupType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=10))

[Fedora-directory-devel] Why is there a Makefile in CVS?
by Andrew Bartlett
Why is there a Makefile (not Makefile.in) in CVS?
Isn't the first thing we want to do (on a checkout) a ./configure, which
will replace this file anyway?
Likewise, I'm confused: why do we allow prefix and exec_prefix to be
specified at 'make' (rather than configure) time? This is typically at
configure time in other open source projects. Changing this would seem
to remove some additional complexity from the build system...

Do we have a preference against wrapper scripts for munging
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (I think we should)?
The reason I ask is that I've been looking at the Fedora DS situation
(now a package in extras), where every binary is wrapped in a shell
script to munge the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which just seems wrong to me.
Likewise, where should a package place 'internal only' libraries, such
as libslapd for Fedora DS, and some similar libraries in an eventual
Samba4 package (to avoid bloat by static linking shared internal
functionality)?

[Fedora-directory-devel] A request for your input.
by lmth＠deakin.edu.au
Hello
My name is Lara Thynne and I am a PhD candidate at Deakin University
Australia. I am currently researching the boundary between work and
leisure activities directly related to the open source community and
open source program development.
As part of this I am running a survey at the following address.
https://dcarf.deakin.edu.au/surveys/oss/
The survey is completely confidential and looks at your views and
motivations to use Open Source software and to participate in the
community.
It will only take a five to ten minutes to complete and your contact
details will not be recorded. You can withdraw your participation at
any stage.
I sincerely apologize for the spammish nature of this e-mail - I
don't mean to abuse this list. I am trying to collect responses
from as many open source developers and users as possible and a
mailing list like can be the only way to reach many developers.
Thanks again
Lara
P.S The program that I am using is open source, of course
(www.phpsurveyor.org)!

[Fedora-directory-devel] CVS commits list?
by Andrew Bartlett
I appreciate the efforts that the Fedora DS team has made to post many
patches via Bugzilla for review, but I'm often still in the dark as to
when particular fixes hit the tree.
Is there any chance we can get a cvs commits mailing list? Or is there
one, and I just don't know about it?
Thanks,
Andrew Bartlett

You could just use OpenLDAP, which already provides a back-sql backend...
In any case, using SQL as a backing store for LDAP is a couple orders of
magnitude slower than using the native LDAP databases. Taking this
approach is OK when you need access to existing SQL data and have no
other choice. If you're just creating a new database, it's best to avoid
SQL entirely. In the case of OpenLDAP, using the proxycache overlay in
combination with the back-sql backend will improve search performance.

Thank you for Replay. As per FAQ I need to write my own plug-in for storing
ldap entries into mssql/oracle database.
I have seen slapi to write Server plug-in and examples provided at
/opt/fedora-ds/plugins/slapd/slapi/examples. But I am not finding sample
code for writing plug-in for Backend databases.
Is there any sample code for writing plug-in for backend database?
I am referring this link to write plug-in.

Thank you

[Fedora-directory-devel] Please review: [Bug 231093] db2bak: crash bug
by Noriko Hosoi
Summary: db2bak: crash bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=231093
Description of problem:
db2bak crashed in one of the failed test cases. Caused by the initial configuration error:
errors:[...] - Db home directory is not set. Possibly nsslapd-directory (optinally nsslapd-db-home-directory) is missing in the config file.
Still, the server should not crash.
