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.
Includes support for update referral for each replicated backend.
Reworked replication test to use update referral.
Includes major rewrite of response encoding codes (result.c).
Includes reworked alias support and eliminates old suffix alias codes
(can be emulated using named alias).
Includes (untested) support for the Manage DSA IT control.
Works in LDAPv2 world. Still testing in LDAPv3 world.
Added default referral (test009) test.
Move all SunOS routines (ie: _sleep() and its helpers) to thr_lwp.c
so that it's internals can be 'static'. Add 'static' to thr_lwp.c.
Add comment to LWP: NEEDS WORK, may not compile! Need some
SunOS user to sort out the details. Volunteers?
remove race conditions on connection close.
BROKEN: various counters for dn=monitor.
Initial testing on FreeBSD (with and without pthreads) was successfull.
Have not yet tested preemptive threading environments.
Have not built against backends other than 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
of a busy wait and allow the pthread_yield within the loop to be
removed. This was the only pthread_yield which was necessary
when usng non-preemptive threads. As such, the configure.in
sched_yield/pthread_yield missing error can be removed from
configure.in. If explicit yield function is missing, just provide
a no-op replacement.
Moved declaration of various slapd globals from main.c to init.c
so they can be shared with ldbm tools.
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.
adds POSIX RegEx (and removes BSD re_comp/re_exec) support.
* POSIX RegEx is not currently included in the distribution, however
we will probably add Henry Spencer's REGEX library soon.
* ACL Group functionality is also included in this merge!
