1) simultaneous operation of multiple active sync replication threads
2) cookie management for individual sync replication thread
(include rid=%3d to the slapd cookie command line option (-c))
Briefly compare back-bdb and back-ldbm.
Remove mention of MDBM and NDBM. Rename GNU DBM to GDBM.
Fix spacing typos. Prefix an octal file mode with 0.
Mention "notags" (new name for "nolang" from the attribute options patch).
Add SEE ALSO slapd-monitor(5) to slapd.conf(5).
Now related ITSes need be audited and possibly closed.
Enhancements:
- re-styled code for better readability
- upgraded backend API to reflect recent changes
- LDAP schema is checked when loading SQL/LDAP mapping
- AttributeDescription/ObjectClass pointers used for more efficient
mapping lookup
- bervals used where string length is required often
- atomized write operations by committing at the end of each operation
and defaulting connection closure to rollback
- added LDAP access control to write operations
- fully implemented modrdn (with rdn attrs change, deleteoldrdn,
access check, parent/children check and more)
- added parent access control, children control to delete operation
- added structuralObjectClass operational attribute check and
value return on search
- added hasSubordinate operational attribute on demand
- search limits are appropriately enforced
- function backsql_strcat() has been made more efficient
- concat function has been made configurable by means of a pattern
- added config switches:
- fail_if_no_mapping write operations fail if there is no mapping
- has_ldapinfo_dn_ru overrides autodetect
- concat_pattern a string containing two '?' is used
(note that "?||?" should be more portable
than builtin function "CONCAT(?,?)")
- strcast_func cast of string constants in "SELECT DISTINCT statements (needed by PostgreSQL)
- upper_needs_cast cast the argument of upper when required
(basically when building dn substring queries)
Todo:
- add security checks for SQL statements that can be injected (?)
- re-test with previously supported RDBMs
- replace dn_ru and so with normalized dn (no need for upper() and so
in dn match)
- implement a backsql_normalize() function to replace the upper()
conversion routines
- note that subtree deletion, subtree renaming and so could be easily
implemented (rollback and consistency checks are available :)
- implement "lastmod" and other operational stuff (ldap_entries table ?)

manpage patch for ITS#1787.
- Let write operations return unwilling-to-perform after
'gentle shutdown' has been initiated.
- Change -1 to 2 in slapd_gentle_shutdown and slapd_shutdown, since
sig_atomic_t can be unsigned (ITS#1736). The 'gentle SIGHUP' patch
is older than ITS#1736 but was applied later, so it reintroduced
the problem.

This patch adds an '-S' option to ldapmodify. If a filename is specified with
this option, records which could not successfully be added/modified/deleted from
the LDAP server will be written to the specified file. Most useful in
conjunction with '-c' option.

It has just occurred to me - duh - that the process ID of a back-shell
command is a perfectly good unique ID for it, and more useful than
any connection id/message id thingy. Doesn't need extra arguments
to the shell commands either, except a pid: line to abandon.
And msgid: can still be removed in a future version.
Here is a patch.

Here is a patch which does what I described. Of course, someone has
to decide if that is the right solution:-)
- Add an "opid:" line to the input to back-shell commands.
- Add an "abandonid: <opid> line to back-shell/abandon input.
- Replace message id with opid in back-tcl arguments.
- Add an abandonid = <opid> argument to back-tcl/abandon.
An opid (operation ID) is a "connection ID/message ID" string. I
would have liked to use another name to avoid confusion with struct
slap_op->o_opid, but I could not think of another apt word.
This also fixes ITS#1784 and ITS#1792. Since calling conventions
changed anyway, I fixed back-shell by adding abandonid: and making
opid: always be the ID of the current operation.
