#OpenLDAP's #SQL backend is about to be deleted, in OpenLDAP 2.7. It has been officially unsupported for a long time, and deprecated as of 2.6. If you still use it for anything, you might want to speak up now if you want it to be preserved. Otherwise it's headed to the great bitbucket in the sky. https://git.openldap.org/openldap/openldap/-/merge_requests/880

#OpenLDAP received two AI generated bug reports this week, zero vulnerabilities.

That's why my 40+ year career in software engineering has always focused on free software. Because I want to change the world for the better and I want other people to learn from what I've done and carry it even further forward. Just as I learned from computing pioneers who came before me.
It's why I've focused the last 27 years on making #OpenLDAP the premier directory software in the world, and why I built #LMDB as free software. Because it only makes a difference when it's freely shared.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@hyc/116577377027767950
"Web-scale" projects bragged about handling a million users a day. #OpenLDAP was serving a million users per *second*, back in 2015.
Vibe-coded framework-laden modern projects will never measure up.

When other servers were advertising sub-second response times #OpenLDAP was already delivering microsecond response times. We had to update our libraries to use nanosecond resolution timestamps because we're now delivering sub-microsecond performance. Years ahead of *everyone* else in the computing industry. Anyone claiming a better scaling/performance story than OpenLDAP is outright lying.
* We broke the microsecond barrier back in 2015: https://lists.openldap.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/thread/KLNMUTAI2VF4GUVPR7XJATSOT4PQ7WYC/#OHN3EDU5ZWJFABLFKODT2MEF36WGXSXQ

"389-DS (Red Hat Directory Server) is the production choice for >1M entries — purpose-built for large directories with a dedicated replication engine" https://linuxcent.com/tag/openldap/
Pure BS. #OpenLDAP serves millions of queries per second with DBs with over a billion users. 389DS doesn't even manage 1/10th of that.
389DS's /RedHatDS's underlying tech was so outdated they had to abandon it all and adopt OpenLDAP's libraries just to stay functional. Their core server is still garbage even with that.

Yes, I'm late to the party, I know. But right now, I feel like a king: I have created my first usable container image from scratch and published both the source and resulting image on my own Forgejo server 😎
From now on, I can install a complete OpenLDAP server with only one command. This is only version 0.0.1 and needs more work to be useful for others, but it's a foundation on which I can build. Next step is to create my own schema file, because why not. I have special needs, so to speak 😏
This LDAP server will be the source of truth for the Authentik server that follows, and the set of containers that will form a complete e-mail environment with all bells and whistles you can think of, and let's not forget Nextcloud, PowerDNS and Hubzilla.
It's almost time to say goodbye to my old server that has all software manually installed, and move to a modern setup where everything comes in its own container(s) and automatically plugs itself into Træfik, my reverse proxy.
I'm a happy self-hoster 😎

Configure OpenLDAP Server and SSSD Clients on Rocky Linux 10
Rocky Linux 10 dropped openldap-servers from BaseOS. The slapd daemon now lives in EPEL, which means a working #OpenLDAP install on RHEL 10-family distros is two repos and a handful of LDIFs away.
https://computingforgeeks.com/openldap-sssd-clients-rocky-linux-10/
It seems like an ok guide. But they could have just used OpenLDAP's autoCA to provide TLS certs for each of the machines, instead of generating them manually.

It's easy enough for the #OpenLDAP Project to progress without using AI. All of that stuff is just regurgitated stackoverflow anyway, and we've never copied code from there either. Anything we need to know how to write was documented in an OS manpage or ISO or IEEE or POSIX spec. When you RTFM you don't need stackoverflow or chatgpt or claude code.
-
When I first started floating the idea of putting #OpenLDAP's slapd config into an actual slapd database, most people resisted the idea. As a compromise, we created back-ldif: a tree of plaintext LDIF files that's managed as a hierarchical LDAP database. But nowadays it's commonplace for other apps to store their own configs in #LMDB. Funny how the world works sometimes. https://github.com/stagas/rtdiff/commit/a1104d9bfcdeb22a627f805254cabbe95bea0e55

Wir haben einen #openLDAP Server für die Verwaltung der Nutzer:innen, #Vaultwarden für Credentials, #mailcow für Kalender/Mail sowie #Nextcloud für Filestorage eingerichtet. Office kann jeder MA nehmen was er will solang es keine MS Lizenz benötigt. 🙂
Als Mailclient haben wir uns für #emClient entschieden, für den gibt es aktuell leider keine Version für Linux, ich hoffe das ändert sich irgendwann.
Teams war nie in Verwendung, wir nutzen oldschool mail. :-)

Git in Postgres https://nesbitt.io/2026/02/26/git-in-postgres.html
It's interesting to me because it could probably be done more efficiently in #OpenLDAP. And there was a lot of work done to store git refs in #LMDB several years back, which ultimately never got merged. Using OpenLDAP also makes more sense for the federation usecase, since it has native replication, which is still a separate bolton for postgres.

Meanwhile, if you submit LLM-generated code to the #OpenLDAP Project, first I will berate you. *Then* I'll close it.

@amirbkhan @_elena If you stop using billionaire software, just you, you are depriving them of your revenue, attention, and data. Each of us getting off "platforms" (Window, Mac, Facebook, X, etc.) is a member of the "walk away" revolt. And the continuing work to make Free and Open Source Software more accessible to the rest of them takes power away from the oligarchs AND the government they own. We are #OpenLDAP and #GCC #COBOL, two links in the chain.#

Dear bug hunters / fuzz testers: a one-shot command line tool is not a service. As such, feeding an invalid input to such a tool does not trigger a "denial of service". It simply causes a program to exit, that was already going to exit anyway. Categorizing such error-triggered exits as DoS is incorrect and any bug reports you submit to the #OpenLDAP Project categorized as such will be immediately closed as Invalid.
Stop wasting our time, thanks.

Private equity still trying to buy #OpenLDAP. If this was a real offer, clearly the buyers haven't done any due diligence, otherwise they'd know the OpenLDAP Project can't be sold.
No single person owns the intellectual property rights to the project, and there's no way to contact 100% of the rights owners.
PS: if a "free" software project requires you to sign your rights over to them before contributing, They're Doing It Wrong.

@Gina The European Commission is already using Open Source Software (OpenLDAP) for its Directory Services. That's an Open Source foundation for your build-out. #ldap #openldap #opensource

Wer als Admin schon mal Nutzer, Gruppen und Zugriffsrechte verwalten musste, kennt das Chaos aus vielen Einzeltools. #OpenLDAP räumt hier auf und zentralisiert alles sauber an einem Ort. Deshalb ist der #Verzeichnisdienst ein Open-Source-Projekt ganz nach dem Geschmack unseres Admins Till Grünhagen.
Wer übrigens noch mehr über openLDAP lernen möchte, ist in unserer Akademie-Schulung für Fortgeschrittene bei openLDAP-Profi Stefan Kania genau richtig.

Fun with #OpenLDAP:
When I authenticate interactively with -W (either ldapadd or ldapsearch), I get an "ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)" error.
When I authenticate with -w (passing the password as an argument), it works as expected.The password is the same in both cases. I have no idea what's going on :neocat_cool_fingerguns:

Wissensmanagement im Nexus: MediaWiki, Discourse & Confluence out of the Box
In modernen Organisationen ist Wissen die entscheidende Ressource. Ob als kollaboratives Nachschlagewerk, als strukturierte Projektdokumentation oder als lebendige Community-Diskussion: ohne ein gut eingebundenes Wiki- oder Wissenssystem verlieren Teams wertvolle Zeit.Das Infinito.Nexus stellt deshalb drei etablierte Systeme out of the box bereit: MediaWiki, Discourse und Confluence. Alle drei sind nahtlos über LDAP und OpenID Connect (OIDC) in den eigenen Mikrokosmos eingebunden – entweder über das vom Nexus bereitgestellte OpenLDAP oder über eine direkte Active-Directory-Integration, falls bereits eine Microsoft-Infrastruktur vorhanden ist. Damit wird Infinito.Nexus zu einer echten Alternative zu Microsoft SharePoint: leistungsfähig, flexibel, anpassbar und voll OnPremise kontrollierbar. […] -
