Bug 135781 – openldap-2.3.27-r2 unable to build with syncprov

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description REdOG 2006-06-06 08:40:44 UTC]

The openldap-2.3.20 ebuild defaulted to building with --enable-syncprov
In the openldap-2.3.24-r2 ebuild syncprov isn't enabled nor is there a way to specify building with syncprov.

[Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-06-06 09:44:08 UTC]

So, use -r1 meanwhile? :)

[Comment 2 REdOG 2006-06-06 13:30:06 UTC]

I just added a way to use --enable-syncprov in -r2 via my overlay
but -r1 enables it by default

you now need to have USE="overlays" in order to build syncprov as its considered part of the overlays.

[Comment 4 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2006-11-10 09:39:21 UTC]

I have build OpenLDAP with the following:

[ebuild   R   ] net-nds/openldap-2.3.27-r2  USE="berkdb crypt ipv6 kerberos overlays readline samba ssl tcpd -debug -gdbm -minimal -odbc -perl -sasl (-selinux) -slp -smbkrb5passwd" 0 kB

You will notice overlays are enabled. However syncprov was not available. The only way to get syncprov was to specify EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-syncprov"

[Comment 5 Markus Ullmann (RETIRED) 2006-12-23 08:31:13 UTC]

Fixed in 2.3.30-r1 and above

[Comment 6 REdOG 2007-08-03 16:01:59 UTC]

Same problem in 2.3.35-r1 & 2.3.37

syncprov not included with USE="overlays"

used EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-syncprov" 

[Comment 7 Alexandre Ghisoli 2007-08-08 15:41:57 UTC]

Confirmed in 2.3.37 too.

used only USE="overlays", files will be installed :
/usr/lib64/openldap/openldap/syncprov-2.3.so.0
/usr/lib64/openldap/openldap/syncprov-2.3.so.0.2.23
/usr/lib64/openldap/openldap/syncprov.la
/usr/lib64/openldap/openldap/syncprov.so
/usr/share/man/man5/slapo-syncprov.5.bz2

But slaptest gives error (overlay "syncprov" not found)

I've to use the EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-syncprov" to make it working, and no .so files are installed !

So can be workarround with moduleload / modulepath in slapd.conf ?

Ok, I can confirm the workaround, but you *need* to specify modulepath, as slapd doenst look into .../openldap/openldap directory.

1st : define modules :

modulepath      /usr/lib64/openldap/openldap
moduleload      syncprov

2nd : in your database definition, use the overlay :

overlay syncprov
syncprov-nopresent TRUE
syncprov-reloadhint TRUE

Yup, there's a reason we generate paths and basic modules :)

also as a good hint, openldap provides testcases for nearly all overlay and they tend to be good config hints as they test there if it works :)

So marking this as invalid as it's desired behaviour
