ERR - slapi_ldap_bind - Could not send bind request for id [(anon)] authentication mechanism [EXTERNAL]: error -1 (Can't contact LDAP server), system error 0 (no error), network error 0
by Graham Leggett
Hi all,
We have a long standing 389ds master LDAP server that was found to be unable to contact it’s slaves. Most specifically, the slaves show nothing in their logs about any kind of connection, while the master is logging this:
[12/Nov/2019:21:39:47.212715697 +0000] - ERR - slapi_ldap_bind - Could not send bind request for id [(anon)] authentication mechanism [EXTERNAL]: error -1 (Can't contact LDAP server), system error 0 (no error), network error 0 (Unknown error, host “ldap01:636”)
Key is "system error 0 (no error)”, which leaves us stumped. The error is obviously “success”.
Has anyone seen this kind of thing before?
This is 389ds running on CentOS7 as follows:
389-ds-base-1.3.9.1-10.el7.x86_64
Regards,
Graham

Crash with SEGV after compacting
by Niklas Schmatloch
Hi
My organisation is using a replicated 389-dirsrv. Lately, it has been crashing
each time after compacting.
It is replicable on our instances by lowering the compactdb-interval to
trigger the compacting:
dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://127.0.0.1 -w 'PASSWORD_HERE' backend config set --compactdb-interval 300
This is the log:
[03/Aug/2022:16:06:38.552781605 +0200] - NOTICE - checkpoint_threadmain - Compacting DB start: userRoot
[03/Aug/2022:16:06:38.752592692 +0200] - NOTICE - bdb_db_compact_one_db - compactdb: compact userRoot - 8 pages freed

dirsrv(a)auth-alpha.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=11/SEGV
dirsrv(a)auth-alpha.service: Failed with result 'signal'.
dirsrv(a)auth-alpha.service: Consumed 2d 6h 22min 1.122s CPU time.
The first steps are done very quickly, but the step before the 458 pages of the
retro-changelog are freed, takes several minutes. In this time the dirsrv writes
more than 10 G and reads more than 7 G (according to iotop).
After this line is printed the dirsrv crashes within seconds.
What I also noticed is, that even though it said it freed a lot of pages the
retro-changelog does not seem to change in size.
The file `/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-auth-alpha/db/changelog/id2entry.db` is 7.2 G
before and after the compacting.

Does someone have an idea how to debug / fix this?

Unable to establish replication with STARTTLS
by John Thurston
I have two hosts with 389-Directory/1.4.4.17 B2021.280.1354 on CentOS
Stream release 8 (4.18.0-448.el8.x86_64)
On a.state.ak.us, there is one instance defined (call this instance #1)
On b.state.ak.us, there are two instances defined (call them #2 and #3)
Instances #1 and #3 have GlobalSign certificates installed. Instance #2
currently has a Let's Encrypt certificate installed. All instances also
have root and intermediate certs in their databases for GlobalSign,
which are marked with Trust Flags "CT,,".
I can define instance #2 as a supplier, and define a replication
agreement which populates #3. This works with both LDAPS and STARTTLS.
If I, instead, try to define the same replication agreement on instance
#1, it fails with:
> slapi_ldap_bind - Error: could not send startTLS request: error -11
> (Connect error)
>
> NSMMReplicationPlugin - bind_and_check_pwp - agmt="cn=DS11-1to3"
> (b:389) - Replication bind with SIMPLE auth failed: LDAP error -11
> (Connect error) (error:1416F086:SSL
> routines:tls_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed
> (unable to get issuer certificate))
>
> slapi_ldap_bind - Error: could not send startTLS request: error -11
> (Connect error)
I am unable to figure out how instances #1 and #2 differ.
Instance #1 has long-established supplier-agreements (using both LDAPS
and STARTTLS) with other instances of 389-Directory. So I know instance
#1 can function correctly as a supplier. Instance #3 demonstrates it can
be a consumer when supplied by instance #2. I can perform LDAPS and
STARTTLS queries from a.state.ak.us to instance #3, so I know it is
listening on the network and not blocked by a host-based firewall.
Any suggestions of where to look, or config-attributes to check, would
be appreciated.

389 DS memory growth
by Nazarenko, Alexander
Hello colleagues,
On March 22nd we updated the 389-ds-base.x86_64 and 389-ds-base-libs.x86_64 packages on our eight RHEL 7.9 production servers from version 1.3.10.2-17.el7_9 to version 1.3.11.1-1.el7_9. We also updated the kernel from kernel 3.10.0-1160.80.1.el7.x86_64 to kernel-3.10.0-1160.88.1.el7.x86_64 during the same update.
Approximately 12 days later, on April 3rd, all the hosts started exhibiting memory growth issues whereby the “slapd” process was using over 90% of the available system memory of 32GB, which was NOT happening for a couple of years prior to applying any of the available package updates on the systems.
Two of the eight hosts act as Primaries (formerly referred to as masters), while 6 of the hosts act as read-only replicas. Three of the read-only replicas are used by our authorization system while the other three read-only replicas are used by customer-based applications.
Currently we use system controls to restrict the memory usage.
My question is whether this is something that other users also experience, and what is the recommended way to stabilize the DS servers in this type of situation?
Thanks,
- Alex

A more profound replication monitoring of 389-ds instance
by dweller dweller
Hello everyone,
I have a request for advice on how to approach monitoring of replication in an environment with approximately 30 FreeIPA servers, all in a master-master replication agreement, using 389-ds (389-ds-base-1.4.3.28-6). I am currently looking for ways to reduce the number of replicas (because there are more to come) and need to justify it to the architecture department with evidence based on experimental observations.
The problem we are facing is that our installation has started experiencing lags in some operations, such as adding user groups, HBAC, and SUDO rules and the most heaviest (by the impact) is automember-rebuild operation.
The number of entities being added is not large, with a maximum of 10 groups and several sudo and HBAC rules, though for automember-rebuild I don't know for certain cause for now I didn't figure out what operations are done internally by this. The "lag" manifests as latency in LDAP operations, leading to timeouts, which in turn causes some services that rely on Kerberos or DNS (because FreeIPA uses LDAP directory for everything) to go down. Our monitoring system also shows that the outage propagates through replicas as replication progresses.
The classic approach of monitoring replication agreements through the nsds5replicaLastUpdateStatus attribute is not sufficient. We need a more dynamic approach that can show the "waves" or replication sessions throughout the environment, which can help in further tuning replication parameters.
I am facing the following problems:
1) The only way to get full replication information currently is to turn on full debug for error logs. While this can be done in test environments, I cannot rely on it in production. I thought that BPF could be the answer, but I am not sure if dirsrv has internal support (predefined probe points) for it. Has anyone from the developers tried to use BPF to monitor some features in 389-ds?
2) Regardless of BPF support, I can still try to implement monitoring with it, in conjunction with debug symbols. However, another problem is that I do not know the exact algorithm of the replication process. I have read this article (https://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/design/replication_troubleshooting.html), but it is still obscure for my purposes. Can you shed some light on the approach I should take here? In my mind, the first step should be very basic - attach to a set of consumer level functions responsible for receiving replica updates, and monitor the latency, the amount of incoming connections at a given point in time, and so on. But if you could point me in the right direction (other than just directly pointing to the repository and searching the source code), I would greatly appreciate it.
3) This feature (https://directory.fedoraproject.org/docs/389ds/design/log-operation-stats...) is not supported for my version of 389-ds, is it? Is there a way to patch my version to support it?
Thank you in advance for your help.
