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.
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
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.
Added configuration support for "digest-realm <realm>" configure directive.
Added connection state and bind_in_progress fields to cn=monitor connection
attribute.
specific which methods may be used. This will facilate development
of a slapd config directive "passwordMethod ..." to specify which
methods should be allowed.
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
Update slap_op to maintain dn and ndn (derived from conn->c_dn).
Update ldbm_back_bind to return actual bound dn (including rootdn)
for use in slapd_conn. Other backends use client dn.
Modify other codes to use ndn (normalized uppercase dn) most everywhere.
Aliasing, Suffixing and modrdn could use more work.
Applied suffixing to compare and modrdn.
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.
Remove MD5 and SHA1 options (both are now always on). Rename
functions to be lutil_ instead of ldap_.
Create --enable-cleartext option. Default is currently 'on'.
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!
