* slapi-nis: delay sending responses from compat tree after map searchAlexander Bokovoy2015-11-131-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When slapi-nis plugin responds on a search query, it holds read lock for the internal structure called 'map cache'. The map cache lock can also be taken for write when modification would be required like responding to DELETE, ADD, or MODIFY operations. As result of the lock semantics, write lock owner is blocked until all read lock owners release their locks. This is generally not a problem but when readers sent out LDAP query results, they call into SLAPI function that might take long time to send out the data due to external reasons (network latencies, clients being blocked, etc) and all this time map cache is locked for write operations. When Kerberos KDC issues a TGT, it needs to modify few Kerberos-related attributes in the principal's LDAP entry. These updates are generating MOD operations visible by slapi-nis plugin which triggers re-scan of map cache to potentially replace the affected entries. To perform potential replacement, slapi-nis has to take a write lock and be blocked by outstanding readers. Therefore, it is possible to encounter a situation where an LDAP client uses SASL GSSAPI authentication and existing Kerberos ticket did expire in a course of outstanding search request. According to LDAPv3 protocol specification, an LDAP client must perform re-negotiation before reading any outstanding PDUs. It would ask Kerberos KDC for a new (or renewed) TGT, that would cause MOD updates for the primary tree which is tracked for changes by slapi-nis. These changes would be blocked by a slapi-nis reader as the client cannot finish reading outstanding PDUs yet. To solve this problem, we avoid sending LDAP entries while keeping map cache lock. Instead, we generate a linked list of copies of entries which will be sent out. To allow sharing of entries between multiple parallel queries, we hash the entry and reference the cached entry in the linked list with increased reference count. Once entry is actually sent, its reference count decreased and on reaching zero it is removed from the hash. o solve this problem, we avoid sending LDAP entries while keeping map cache lock.

To allow sharing of entries between multiple parallel queries, we hash the entry and reference the cached entry in the linked list with increased reference count. Once entry is actually sent, its reference count decreased and on reaching zero it is removed from the hash. The entry in the hash table might become outdated. This is detected by comparing both modifyTimestamp and entryUSN values of the entry to be sent and entry in the hash table. If new version of the entry is different, hash table's entry reference is replaced with a new copy. The old entry is not removed because it is still referenced by some outstanding query processing. Thus, the hash table always references the most recent version of an entry but there might be multiple copies in possesion of the linked lists from the separate parallel queries. An entry sharing via hash table can be disabled by setting slapi-entry-cache: 0 in the definition, cn=Schema Compatibility,cn=plugins,cn=config Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1273587
* schema-compat: use libnss_sss.so.2 explicitly to resolve trusted domain ↵Alexander Bokovoy2015-03-261-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | users via NSS When Schema Compatibility plugin is configured to enumerate users and groups from Active Directory domains trusted by FreeIPA, use nss_sss module directly instead of following nsswitch.conf configuration. The issue with nsswitch.conf configuration is in the fact that for each request all modules in NSS chain are processed while only one of them is responsible for users from trusted Active Directory domains, namely, nss_sss.
* schema-compat: support ID overrides in bind callbackAlexander Bokovoy2014-10-301-0/+4
| | | | | | | | If RDN of the bind DN is overridden within the ID view, rewrite the target to use original value of the uid attribute. If original uid attribute is not available, fail the search and thus the whole bind request by claiming that bind DN does not exist.
* Add support for FreeIPA ID viewsAlexander Bokovoy2014-10-101-0/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | FreeIPA ID views allow to override POSIX attributes for certain users and groups. A support is added to allow using specific ID view when serving compatibility tree. Each user or group entry which has an override in the view is amended with the overridden values from the view before served out to the LDAP client. A view to use is specified as a part of base DN: cn=<view>,cn=views,cn=compat,$SUFFIX where cn=compat,$SUFFIX is the original compatibility tree base DN. Each entry, when served through the view, gets new DN rewritten to specify the view. Additionally, if override in the view changes uid (for users) or cn (for groups) attribute, the entry's RDN is changed accordingly. For groups memberUid attribute is modified as well in case there is an override in the view that changes uid value of that member. FreeIPA ID views support overrides for users of trusted Active Directory domains. In case of a trusted AD domain's user or group is returned via compatibility tree, view overrides are applied in two stages: 1. SSSD applies default view for AD users 2. slapi-nis applies explicitly specified (host-specific) view on top of the entry returned by SSSD Thus, slapi-nis does not need to apply default view for AD users and if there are no host-specific views in use, there is no need to specify a view in the base DN, making overhead of a default view for AD users lower.
