RE: client-pr option for meta backend

[<laurent2.perrin@orange.com>]

Hi,

I have successfully built the slapd package with SLAPD_META_CLIENT_PR defined and was able to add the " olcDbClientPr" option.

But it seems my issue was not coming from this option. 

I made tcpdump capture to check the packets and I found that my openldap server was not responding to the client with control in the searchResDone.

To sum up:

Client ==> openLdap (meta backend): Control header is in the searchRequest
OpenLDAP (meta backend) ==> Active Directory: Control header is in the searchRequest
Active Directory ==> OpenLDAP (meta backend): Control header is in the searchResDone
OpenLDAP (meta backend) ==> Client: Control header is not in the searchResDone

This control Header should not be passed to client ?


Regards,
Laurent

Hi Luarent,

The client-pr code is currently ifdef'd behind LDAP_DEVEL, which means it is not enabled by default.  It appears there is a bug here, in that either the feature should be moved out from being behind LDAP_DEVEL or the documentation should be removed from the man page.  If you need use of this feature, you need to define SLAPD_META_CLIENT_PR when compiling OpenLDAP.

>From back-meta.h:

#ifdef LDAP_DEVEL
#define SLAPD_META_CLIENT_PR 1
#endif /* LDAP_DEVEL */
