openldap (2.5.5+dfsg-1~exp1) experimental; urgency=medium This is a major release of OpenLDAP, and as such it introduces several changes, new features and deprecations/removals. This is a non-exhaustive list of things to be aware of: * Removals: - The shell backend (slapd-shell) has been removed. - The BDB and HDB backends have been removed. * Additions: - New backend: slapd-asyncmeta(5). - New core overlays: slapd-homedir(5), slapd-otp(5), and slapd-remoteauth(5). * Changes: - The ppolicy module now provides its own built-in schema. The external ppolicy schema has been removed. You can find the upstream announcement containing the full list of changes in the 2.5.x series at . In certain situations, it is possible that the post-installation scripts will not be able to successfully migrate your current installation to new formats (e.g., when you are using an old backend like BDB/HDB). If this happens, you will be notified about the failure and the slapd service will NOT be (re)started; you will then have to take manual action in order to migrate your data and start the service. Please look at the README.Debian file (under /usr/share/doc/slapd/) for more instructions on how to cope with some of the most problematic cases. -- Ryan Tandy Fri, 11 Jun 2021 11:43:15 -0700 openldap (2.4.49+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=medium This release fixes an issue with how the slapo-ppolicy(5) overlay stores the pwdChangedTime attribute in the database. Existing incorrect records could cause slapd to crash if a database administrator uses the Relax control to modify pwdChangedTime. Users of the ppolicy overlay are recommended to reload (slapcat and slapadd) their database in order to fix existing data. Please see for more information. -- Ryan Tandy Mon, 03 Feb 2020 09:58:29 -0800 openldap (2.4.44+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=medium The slapd package no longer includes OpenSLP support. The openslp-dfsg package is being retired due to lack of maintenance and security concerns. Please see for more information. -- Ryan Tandy Tue, 15 Mar 2016 03:59:27 +0000 openldap (2.4.23-3) unstable; urgency=low The OpenLDAP packages in Debian now use the slapd.d LDIF-based configuration model by default. Please see README.Debian for more information. -- Matthijs Mohlmann Mon, 19 Jul 2010 10:48:19 +0200 openldap2.3 (2.3.23-1) unstable; urgency=low The Debian slapd package no longer includes support for the LDBM backend. It has been disabled as a result of concerns over data loss and lack of upstream support. For more information, see: http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?_highlightWords=ldbm&file=756 The BDB backend is now the main backend to use. This backend is supported upstream and has several fixes included for known problems. -- Matthijs Mohlmann Sun, 26 Feb 2006 20:05:44 +0100
