Problem browsing LDAP with Outlook
by Chris Bryant 26 Aug '20

26 Aug '20

When configuring Microsoft Outlook (not Outlook Express) to access an LDAP directory, there is an option to 'Enable Browsing (requires server support)'. If this option is chosen and the directory server supports it, then you should be able to open the LDAP address book and page up and down through the results. I have been unable to get this working properly with 389 DS. When I try to browse from Outlook against the 389 DS directory, I am able to see the first page of results perfectly. However, if I move to the next page, only the first object returned will have any attributes included, and all of the rest of the objects in the page will have no attributes. I have a test perl script that duplicates this functionality as well. I can get this to work properly with an older version of Netscape Directory Server, and I can get it working with OpenDS. Since 389 DS advertises support for the controls that are required for this to work, just like the other two servers, then I would expect it to work there also. Has anyone out there gotten this to work with 389 DS? If so, can you share if there was anything special that you needed to do to get this to work? I'm trying to determine if this is a bug in the server, or if I'm just missing something in the configuration. Thanks, Chris USA.NET You Run Your Business. We'll Run Your Email.

Logging Creation and Deletion
by David Hoskinson 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

I am having a bit of trouble understanding creation and deletion of logs. Creation is max number of logs = 10, fie size 100 MB, and create a new log every day. This is the default I believe as I haven't changed it. My question is does one of these parameters over ride the other? For example we want to keep 24 weeks of logs, and for example create a log everyday. And logs are quite small for us, so would the 100 mb parameter take precedence or the one day setting? Same with deletion... would like the when drive has less then 5 mb and delete files over 24 weeks old but don't care about the 500 mb total size. I see some fields can be set with -1 to inactivate them but some can't... If anyone can explain this a little clearer I am sure its just something I am missing David Hoskinson | DATATRAK International Systems Engineer Mayfield Heights, Ohio, USA +1.440.443.0082 x 124 (p) | +1.440.391.7753 (m) david.hoskinson(a)datatrak.net<mailto:david.hoskinson@datatrak.net> | www.datatrak.net<http://www.datatrak.net/>

Dir Admin Shows Stopped
by Dan Whitmire 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

When I bring up the 389-console it shows that the Administration Server as being down. When I do 'service dirsrv-admin status' it shows as running. I recently installed PKI CA, RA, TPS, and TKS. I'm experiencing problems with TKS which I believe is TLS related. Could that be affecting my directory server? Thanks for all the help and support.

Announcing 389 Directory Server version 1.2.10 Alpha 8 Testing
by Rich Megginson 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

The 389 Project team is pleased to announce the release of 389-ds-base-1.2.10.a8. 1.2.10 has some new features and fixes for bugs found in 1.2.10 testing and bugs from earlier releases. There is also a 389-admin package in testing NEW: EL6 support Beginning with RHEL 6.2, the 389-ds-base package is included in the base OS. Therefore, the 389-ds-base package can no longer be provided via EPEL, due to RHEL/EPEL packaging restrictions. However, the 389 Project will still make the full 389-ds-base package available via http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/rmeggins/389-ds-base. See http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Download for more information. NEW: Issue Tracking System We have moved our ticket tracking system from the Red Hat Bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=389 to our Fedora Hosted Trac https://fedorahosted.org/389. All of the old 389 bugs have been copied to Trac. All new bugs, feature requests, and tasks should be entered in Trac NEW: Plugin Authors WARNING: Plugins should be made transaction aware so that they can be called from within a backend pre/post transaction plugin.

Re: [389-users] Problems with Database Import.

Rich/All, I finally got my ldif to import. I found I had a small number of groups with bogus information in their records (I'll include one actual example below). Once these couple of entries where removed/corrected, everything imported. I have also including the specific on 389 / fedora version-ing information.

Hi! It has been over a year ago since I sent out information about CN=Monitor on this mailing list. It's a web based monitoring application with focus on directory server performance and configuration verification. From single installed servers to large scaled deployments with main focus on 389/RHDS and other directory servers. Just wanted to let you know that I recently released version 3.0 and would appreciate feedback and ideas for future versions. http://cnmonitor.sourceforge.net Best Regards – Andreas

dirsrv-admin stat not working

Problems with Database Import.
by Dan H. Eicher 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

I’m attempting to port my ldap database from one machine to another, the machine I am attempting to port to is running a newer version of 389. The target machine is build 2011.308.2312. On the source machine I do an db2ldif - all looks good. I go to the target machine and start fedora-console, open the directory server and choose import database. The first couple of thousand entries/users seem to go well, but then by looking at both my ldif source file and the contents of my reject file after one particular user I get: Error adding object 'dn: uid=ctuser,ou=Users,dc=localdomain'. The error sent by the server was 'Cannot connect to the LDAP server'. Every new user after that fails to be added. The import appears to complete and slapd doesn’t stop. Any tips here on how I can resolve this? Thanks, Dan

389DS very slow shutdown
by Diego Woitasen 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hi, I have a weird problem with 389DS. It takes more than 5 minutes to shutdown. The init script sends a SIGTERM to the process and it finishes clean. That's clear looking at the log file too: grep "slapd shutting down" errors [10/Nov/2011:17:55:52 -0300] - slapd shutting down - waiting for 22 threads to terminate [10/Nov/2011:17:55:52 -0300] - slapd shutting down - closing down internal subsystems and plugins [10/Nov/2011:17:55:52 -0300] - slapd shutting down - waiting for backends to close down [10/Nov/2011:18:01:41 -0300] - slapd shutting down - backends closed down First I thought that I was related to my 150 DBs but I created a test case with a clean server, 150 DBs and 10.000 entries and the shutdown takes 2 seconds. The only weird thing that I see is the dse.ldif.tmp file being truncated and written and again and again... several times until shutdown. Strace shows me that the process is writting configuration entries too. I'm using DS 1.2.9.9 (same problem with 1.2.8.3) on Debian Squeeze. I set errorlevel to 1 but I don't know is there is something interesting in the log. I upload the log here if someone want to have a look: http://main.woitasen.com.ar/errors What can I do to start to discover what's happening here? Regards, Diego -- Diego Woitasen
