Re: Glued Entries.

Hi Marco,�

�� � � � � � Thanks for your response. I am trying out with�slapacl, in the mean time can you advice �

1) I have master-master mode ldap but all the requests are sent to only one of the master. The other one is a mere replica. In this case will objectClass: glue get set?

2) I m sure that in our application if we are deleting anything we delete all the children nodes,�

�� � �I mean, if web have a subtree like this one
�� � �ou=a� --> ou=b� --> ou=c

�� � �If we delete ou=b, then ou=c also gets deleted. So there shouldnt be any glued objects.�

�� I assumed that ou=b becoming unavailble may be due to replication I mean ... �ou=>b may be in ldap1 and unavailable in ldap2 but tyring to update ou=>c in ldap2.�

�� � In that case will the original objectClass: (in ldap1) gets replaced by �objectClass: glue ?

�3) Can you advice how did you ultimately removed all the glued objects and did you tweek anything in ACL so that it never happened again ?�

Thanks

Karthik.�

Hi,
I had the same problem some times ago.

I could be corrected by someone, but the glue is the way by which the OL system revert to represent entries that are accessible directly.
I mean, if you have a subtree like this one
�ou=a� --> ou=b� --> ou=c

Assume that your ou=b entry is not available anymore for any reason. The system represent it wuth an entry ou=b of objectClass=glue.

The cause of my problem was related to bad ACLs. So when my n-way multi-master systems tried to replicate them selves reverted to represent the entry in that way.
Suggestion: check with slapacl if your entry is accessible by clients (modifiers, master replicas, ecc...).

Hi ..�

Few of my ldap entries got changed like this�

objectClass: glue ��

objectClass: top �

structuralObjectClass: glue

Those glued entries are not showing up in the ldapsearch. I took a dump and from the ldif file, realized the objectClass/ structuralObjectClass got changed.

I wanted to recover my ldap. So removed all those entries ( including the childnodes ). ldapadd �them back from a previous dump ( which wasnt glued). But after some time when I access those entries from application, they get glued.�

Can you please advice how do I recover my ldap from this.
