privs, additive/substractive rules, and rule continuation. Existing
rules that use 'defaultaccess none' should be 100% compatible. Rules
that rely other defaultaccess settings will require addition of
explicit clauses granting the access.
Needs additional testing and tuning of logs
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).
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.
introduction of pid/agrs parameters to the test-suite slapd.conf files;
creation of sub-directory test/var for storage of pid/args files during test;
update of the slapd and slapd.conf man pages.
(The change reduces dependency on ldapconfig.h, since SLAPD_PIDEXT
and SLAPD_ARGSEXT are deleted from the code.)
default sysconfdir subdirectory is openldap instead of ldap.
This removes conflicts with other ldap subsystems. Should
be configure option.
*.conf files are now preserved. A *.conf.default are always
created with the latest conf.
*.help and ldapfriendly are now placed in $(datadir)/$(ldap_subdir)
updated man pages to reflect changes.
Modified clients to reduce use of ldapconfig.h.edit.
ldap_{get,set}_option support is relatively complete. Needs
to be extended to support other "features" of OpenLDAP.
