Full_Name: Cl�ment OUDOT Version: 2.4.38 OS: GNU/Linux URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (88.173.78.196) I configure the LDAP backend under a chain overlay to manage ppolicy-forward-updates configuration, the configuration is: dn: olcOverlay={0}chain,olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config objectClass: top objectClass: olcConfig objectClass: olcChainConfig objectClass: olcOverlayConfig olcOverlay: {0}chain dn: olcDatabase={0}ldap,olcOverlay={0}chain,olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config objectClass: olcLDAPConfig objectClass: olcChainDatabase olcDatabase: {0}ldap olcDbIDAssertBind: bindmethod="simple" binddn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" crede ntials="secret" mode="none" olcDbUri: ldap://localhost:389 When changing the value of olcDbUri trough an LDAP client, the connection to the server is not reset, so the configuration is not taken dynamically. All is ok if I restart OpenLDAP.
Can you provide a test case? Per the code, when the old value is deleted, all open connections are closed and new connections are opened to the updated value.
