OpenLDAP: investigate mdb backend
Description: Investigate and test the new mdb backend with OpenLDAP, with a view to using it on servers/clients
Deliverables: Initially, report on openldap using mdb and recommendations. Following on, systems using mdb.
Customer: All
Case statement: It is highly likely that the recommended backend for use with OpenLDAP
will become mdb (see http://www.symas.com/mdb/). We have been using a
bdb backend for both servers and clients since we started using
OpenLDAP. We have done some informal testing with mdb, but need to
test it properly.
Status:
Timescales:
Priority:
Time: Probably 2+ weeks, much time may be spent in leaving systems running
Proposal:
Resources: openldap knowledge
Plan: Initial plan (to be expanded)
- Add support for mdb config to lcfg-openldap
- Run some test machines
- Report success or otherwise
- Implement
Dependencies: None
Risks: If openldap is unreliable, machines break.
