Hi all, I'm currently doing a long overdue upgrade from 5.5 to 5.7, but I hit what appears to be a regression in ldapd-5.6. Namely, a functional ldapsearch with ldapd-5.5 fails with -5.6. Where this is more problematic is that all other authentication attempts similarly fail with 'Operations error (1)'. The root user, however, has no issue binding, reading or writing the directory.
I have the following configuration file: # $OpenBSD: ldapd.conf,v 1.2 2010/06/29 02:50:22 martinh Exp $ schema "/etc/ldap/core.schema" schema "/etc/ldap/inetorgperson.schema" schema "/etc/ldap/nis.schema" listen on lo0 secure listen on sis0 ldaps listen on "/var/run/ldapi" namespace "dc=example,dc=net" { rootdn "cn=operator,dc=example,dc=net" rootpw "{BSDAUTH}operator" index cn index uid index mail # deny access to any by any # allow bind access to "cn=lookup,dc=example,dc=net" by any # allow read access to any by "cn=lookup,dc=example,dc=net" # #allow read access to children of "ou=people,dc=example,dc=net" by "cn=lookup,dc=example,dc=net" # allow bind access to children of "ou=people,dc=example,dc=net" by any # allow read access to any by self } With ldapd-5.5, running the following command and providing the user's password returns the LDIF record for this user as expected. ldapsearch -x -W -D uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=net uid=user Meanwhile, the ldapd-5.5 reports the following at -dv Jul 14 12:59:17.570 [22255] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1 on fd 17 Jul 14 12:59:17.572 [22255] consumed 66 bytes Jul 14 12:59:17.572 [22255] got request type 0, id 1 Jul 14 12:59:17.572 [22255] bind dn = uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=net Jul 14 12:59:17.572 [22255] requesting 10 access to uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=net by any, in namespace dc=example,dc=net Jul 14 12:59:17.573 [22255] successfully authenticated as uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=net Jul 14 12:59:17.573 [22255] sending response 1 with result 0 Jul 14 12:59:17.574 [22255] consumed 63 bytes Jul 14 12:59:17.574 [22255] got request type 3, id 2 Jul 14 12:59:17.574 [22255] base dn = dc=example,dc=net, scope = 2 Jul 14 12:59:17.574 [22255] requesting 01 access to dc=example,dc=net by uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=net, in namespace dc=example,dc=net Jul 14 12:59:17.575 [22255] init index scan on [uid=user,] Jul 14 12:59:17.575 [22255] found index uid=user,uid=user,ou=people, Jul 14 12:59:17.575 [22255] lookup indexed key [uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=net] Jul 14 12:59:17.575 [22255] found dn uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=net Jul 14 12:59:17.575 [22255] requesting 01 access to uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=net by uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=net, in namespace dc=example,dc=net Jul 14 12:59:17.576 [22255] found index uid=thom,uid=thom,ou=people, Jul 14 12:59:17.576 [22255] scanned past index prefix [uid=user,] Jul 14 12:59:17.576 [22255] 1 scanned, 1 matched, 0 dups Jul 14 12:59:17.576 [22255] sending response 5 with result 0 Jul 14 12:59:17.576 [22255] finished search on msgid 2 Jul 14 12:59:17.576 [22255] consumed 7 bytes Jul 14 12:59:17.576 [22255] got request type 2, id 3 Jul 14 12:59:17.576 [22255] current bind dn = uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=net Jul 14 12:59:17.576 [22255] closing connection 17 With ldapd-5.6, however, the same ldapsearch command results in the following error. ldap_bind: Operations error (1) There is also some binding errors in the much shorter server log.

Did anybody encounter the same issue? Is there a known cause? How could this be solved? I now this is 5.6, and I should be worrying about 5.7, but I would rather have a fully functional system before I move on to the next step.
