Hi there.

I'm posting this into the ITS as I didn't get a response on the mailing list
after 1 week.

I'm using the latest stable release of openldap, with back-sql and
postgresql as a backend.
I have an sssd which uses this openldap server for ID providing and
authentication.
A recent update in this sssd changed the filter used to retrieve
groupids of users, which surfaced what seems to be a bug in backsql.

>From my investigation it seems to me that when constructing the search
query, openldap tries to use the UPPER function on every criteria in
the WHERE clause, no matter which type it is. This causes an error in
postgresql, as the gidNumber that is supposed to be filtered is of
type "bigint".

I could simply remove "upper_func" from my slapd.conf, but I need it
for other queries. Changing the field gidNumber in the database to
text would also be a workaround, but I'd rather prefer this fixed in
backsql.

Anyways, here is the important part of my slapd.conf:

#-----------------------------------------------
database sql
suffix "dc=mydomain,dc=at"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=mydomain,dc=at"
rootpw mysecret
dbname mydbname
dbuser mydbuser
dbpasswd myuserpw
subtree_cond "UPPER(ldap_entries.dn) LIKE  UPPER('%'||?)"
insentry_stmt "insert into ldap_entries
(id,dn,oc_map_id,parent,keyval) values ((select max(id)+1 from
ldap_entries),?,?,?,?)"
upper_func "upper"
upper_needs_cast "yes"
strcast_func "text"
concat_pattern "?||?"
has_ldapinfo_dn_ru no
sizelimit       -1
#-----------------------------------------------

The error can be reproduced in my case when running this command:

#-----------------------------------------------
ldapsearch -H ldaps://127.0.0.1/ -b
ou=groups,ou=myserver,dc=mydomain,dc=at -D
"uid=myuser,ou=users,ou=myserver,dc=mydomain,DC=at" '(gidNumber=512)'
-W
#-----------------------------------------------

Which results in this output:

#-----------------------------------------------
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <ou=groups,ou=myserver,dc=mydomain,dc=at> with scope subtree
# filter: (gidNumber=512)
# requesting: ALL
#

# search result
search: 2
result: 80 Other (e.g., implementation specific) error
#-----------------------------------------------

Here is the interesting part of the level 255 log output:
