- fix various connection creation/setup concurrency issues
- use shared connection when always idasserting (similar to ITS#4781)
- reduce the impact of schema mapping when not used (tnx to gprof)
- fix temporary/tainted connection leak in abnormal conditions
fix several minor issues with using dangling pointers and uninitialized data
fix caching of privileged connections
fix issues with unresponsive target failures during search
context checking and multiple match resolution via an internal search
b) move the candidate listing in a persistent per-thread buffer
c) fix bind procedure
d) minor cleanup
(a) and (b) should address ITS#2935; (b) and (c) should address ITS#3171
A test is also added
- librewrite, for string rewriting; it may be used in back-ldap
by configuring with '--enable-rewrite'. It must be used in
back-meta. There's a text file, 'libraries/librewrite/RATIONALE',
that explains the usage and the features. More comprehensive
documentation will follow.
- enhancements of back-ldap (ITS#989,ITS#998,ITS#1002,ITS#1054 and ITS#1137)
including dn rewriting, a fix to group acl matching and so
- back-meta: a new backend that proxies a set of remote servers
by spawning queries. It uses portions of back-ldap and the rewrite
capabilities of librewrite. It can be compiled by configuring
with `--enable-ldap --enable-rewrite --enable-meta'.
There's a text file, 'servers/slapd/back-meta/Documentation', that
describes the main features and config statements.
Note: someone (Kurt?) should run 'autoconf' and commit 'configure' as
my autoconf version must be different: my configures contain a number
of differences and I didn't feel comfortable in adding them :)
