Hello,
I have noticed a few changes in the cn=config configuration between openldap
2.5.1 and 2.5.7.
The main things that have changed:
- many modifications in the configuration schema (cn=schema,cn=config)
- some modifications in the additional schemas (core, cosine,...)
- a few modifications in the database and overlay entries (for example,
olcDbMaxEntrySize, olcPPolicyDisableWrite, objectClass: olcMemberOf ->
objectClass:
olcMemberOfConfig)
It means that, when upgrading OpenLDAP, the previous configuration may not be
compatible with the new OpenLDAP version.
False. Additions to the schema are always forward-compatible. Where we have
renamed objectclasses,
we have kept the old name as an alias. So old configs will continue to work.
Considering this, I have 2 questions:
1/ Do you plan to continue having evolutions of the configuration schema?
Whenever the need arises.
2/ If so, will the previous 2.5 configuration be compatible in the future?
We will never break compatibility unless it is totally unavoidable.
Ok, thanks for your answers!
