support for DCE slash-delimited, left-to-right DNs;
support for a domain socket transport (enable with
--enable-ldapi); and extensions to URL parsing to
support the latter transport.
user password. Likely to be modified to use bind control
instead. Use of modify deprecated in favor mechanisms that
support passwords stored externally to the directory (such
as in a SASL service).
Modified slapd extended operation infrastructure to support
backend provided extended operations.
Old code applied sync flags to store(), however supported DBMs
require such flags to be specified during open(). The new
code now applies flags in ldbm_cache_open (which calls ldbm_open).
ldbm_cache_close() now calls ldbm_sync(). This will force
a updating of on-disk contents after each LDAP operation.
The old code either failed to sync the on-disk contents until
close or synced on every store. Per LDBM operation syncing
*should* be safe enough... real data safety requires transactions.
Removed nosync option from BDB2 as it is not compatible with
txn support.
Also added code to disable DBM level locking as slapd is only
process acessing the databases (dbnolocking).
Move cache_return_entry_w() out of ldbm_back_add when the add is successful.
This change breaks back-bdb2, it needs equvalent changes of those in back-ldbm.
Integration into ./configure ( --enable-bdb2 ).
Adaptation of the test-suite ( 'make' -> ldbm; 'make bdb2-local' -> bdb2 ).
Minor fixes in slapd/libldbm.
Separates per backend type from per backend database initialization
and startup. Also supports per type / per backend shutdown.
New frontend startup/shutdown routines are also provided:
slap_init() slap_startup() slap_shutdown() slap_destroy()
New frontend->backend startup/shutdown is managed by:
backend_init() backend_startup() backend_shutdown backend_destroy
backend_init() now calls bi_init() to initial all function pointers
for the backend (excepting bi_init() which is now the only hardcoded
entry point). New entry points are detailed in slap.h struct
backend_info. backend_info is a per database type structure.
Besides the new startup/shutdown entry points, the new interface
also supports per backend type configuration options. One could have:
backend bdb2 (new Berkeley DB 2 backend)
bdb2_home /directory
database bdb2
...
*** This code is fairly experimental ***
*** Much cleanup and testing is still needed ***
see slap.h for details on struct backend_db and backend_info.
Likely broke things for non-posix threadings....
Update -lldap_r implementation to:
remove attribute support
hide thread detachment
provide concurrency accessors
provide initialization function
fix gethostby{addr,name}_r codes (not coverred by HAVE_REENTRANT_FUNCTIONS)
Update servers/libraries to use ldap_pvt_thread_ calls.
Cleanup server codes (no #ifdef HAVE_PTHREAD_THIS or _THATs)!
Removed -llthread
back-ldbm was using a cache specific lock to protect non-reentrant
database routines from being reenterred. This is inadequate.
Also, reentrant database systems calls were serialized unnecessarily.
Non-reentrant database calls must have a big_mutex. Implemented
this within -lldbm itself. library requires ldbm_initialize()
be called before any other ldbm call to initialize the big_mutex
and to do any other db specific initialization (ie: such as
required for DB2).
The dbc_mutex, dbc_cv, & dbc_readers fileds of dbcache are history.
The "reentrant_database" (REENTRANT_DATABASE) define is also axed.
behind REENTRANT_DATABASE. rename reentrant_database -> REENTRANT_DATABASE.
When REENTRANT_DATABASE is defined, the simple lock is replaced
with a simple reader/writer lock. This functionality should be removed
from back-ldbm to libldbm.
SLAPD_NEXTID_CHUNK. Code protects NEXTID file to ensure
its equal to or greater than nextid. Updated on close
to actual nextid. next_id_save() could be called periodically
if desired. Default chunk size is 32. Define to 1 to disable
chunking.
parent's "children" attribute. Write lock parent to prevent
multiple clients making conflicting operations concurrently.
If parent doesn't exist (ie: is backend root), acquire a writer
lock (a simple mutex) on the "root."
Use -DSLAPD_CHILD_MODIFICATION_WITH_ENTRY_ACL to use the child's
"entry" acl for modrdn/delete operations.
- slapd's pid/args file names are based on the servers binary file names,
providing for multiple servers beeing run on one host.
- slapd supports the -l command line parameter for selection of a
syslog LOCAL user (-lLOCAL0 .. -lLOCAL7)
- db_appinit() is called during first ldbm_open() in DB 2.x to initialize
DB debugging features (good to find bugs in the DB code :-)
- a patch for a non-initialized variable in DB's 2.x db_open is provided.
Resolved deadlock by passing target entry to be_group and using
this if dn same as bdn. It might actually be safer to check
entry ids instead of dns.
Resolved bogus add to cache after failed acl check by deferring
cache add until after parent/acl checks have successful been
completed.
Eliminated race condition caused by concurrent adds
of same dn by adding 'li_add_mutex' around the critical section
of code (most of ldbm_back_add).
This code is preliminary and still needs significant testing.
Most function and variable definitions are now preceded by its extern
definition, for error checking. Retyped a number of functions, usually
to return void. Fixed a number of printf format errors.
API changes (in ldap/include):
Added avl_dup_ok, avl_prefixapply, removed ber_fatten (probably typo
for ber_flatten), retyped ldap_sort_strcasecmp, grew lutil.h.
A number of `extern' declarations are left (some added by protoize), to
be cleaned away later. Mostly strdup(), strcasecmp(), mktemp(), optind,
optarg, errno.
