Created attachment 583511 [details] Adds support for openldap-servers-perl Description of problem: There is no current support for the perl backend of openldap Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.29-2 Additional info: This patch adds support for the perl backend
We are thinking about this. ;-)
I'd like to get the perl backend working in fedora. If you don't want to let the patch through, can you discuss what the problem is?
Sorry, but I really know about this report. The problem is rather a political. According to the documentation, the backend is primarily intended for prototyping. And I'm not sure if this brings any pitfails. And I haven't decided if this belongs to a separate subpackage. There are still some important fixes I want to get into F18. And I want to have the git branch synced with Rawhide branch as long as possible. So, please, wait till the F18 is out. Then I will enable the perl backend both in F18 and Rawhide and we can get some feedback via updates-testing. No experiments for now. :-) Jan
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

openldap-2.4.34-1.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/openldap-2.4.34-1.fc18
openldap-2.4.34-1.fc18 has been pushed to the Fedora 18 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
FYI, I got the following error in /var/log/messages when I tried to start slapd.service with perl enabled: May 2 15:14:25 node-02 check-config.sh[14958]: 5182c921 /etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 22: error Can't load '/usr/lib64/perl5/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.so' for module Fcntl: /usr/lib64/perl5/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.so: undefined symbol: PL_thr_key at /usr/share/perl5/XSLoader.pm line 68. I found that adding the line: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/perl5/CORE/libperl.so to /etc/sysconfig/slapd seems to have resolved the problem. I'm using Fedora 18 rpm -q openldap-servers openldap-servers-2.4.34-1.fc18.x86_64

I consulted this with the perl maintainer. Slapd seems to be using dlopen() to load /usr/lib64/perl5/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.so, which is a perl plugin that assumes that the libperl.so is already loaded. Do you use your own perl installation, or the one that's included in Fedora? Also, could you provide a reproducer?
