Welcome to the fourth issue of OpenLDAP Weekly News (OWN), the unofficial weekly newsletter for the OpenLDAP community.

This will be released every Sunday (or thereabouts), covering the latest goings on in and around the OpenLDAP community.

Summary:

- More uptake on OpenLDAP 2.4
- Is OpenLDAP really that compliant?
- Update on Build Farm progress
- OpenLDAP Documentation updates
- How fast can it go!
- OpenLDAP Development
- Selected user issues and solutions discussed

More uptake on OpenLDAP 2.4:

More and more users seem to be either experimenting with OpenLDAP 2.4 or migrating to it.

As usual, if you have questions or problems please contact The OpenLDAP Project via normal channels.

Is OpenLDAP really that compliant?

Why of course it is!

This has been the biggest thread this week; Supported RFC^[?]'s and "features", and has been very interesting reading.

The question starts here, and Howard sets the story straight, with further clarification and an explanation about how other companies have made OpenLDAP more complete.

Suffice to say, OpenLDAP ticks all the boxes, that are sane to tick...

Update on Build Farm progress

Kit has been ordered, still waiting for the gear to arrive.

More next week...

OpenLDAP Documentation updates:

As last week, the focus has been on Multi-Master replication. The OpenLDAP Projects thoughts are still the same.

I have been working on expanding the MMR test, with the goal of completing the empty MMR Admin guide section.

How fast can it go!

Says it all!

Comparing OpenLDAP 2.3.39 to RE24, 2.3.39 gets about 20.3K auths/sec on a 1M entry hdb database, vs 23.3K auths/sec for RE24 on our test machine. So about a 15% gain, most of which is probably the lightweight dispatcher. (Will have to test again with back-null to see for certain.)

and

2.3.39 back-null got 27k auths/sec vs 2.4(.7)'s 36k/sec. 33% gain, obviously back-hdb requires more CPU...

OpenLDAP Development:

The core team and engineering team have been busy as usual.

Have a browse, it might surprise you how interesting it can be.

Selected user issues and solutions discussed:

There hasn't been really anything to note over the past week, which hasn't already been covered above.

See for yourself.

Lastly, apologies for the lateness again, I was away at the weekend.
