  • When the java properties are set to not overwrite the environment variables (which is the default behavior) when we call start-ds from the stop-ds scripts, OPENDS_JAVA_ARGS is already set with the arguments for the stop (client arguments).  The fix consists basically on resetting the environment variables to those we had before calling stop-ds before calling start-ds.

  • Note: this issue is not fully covered by the proposed modifications but
    all that is missing in order to fix it is to figure out which are the
    default memory values that we want to propose in the setup.
    
    2620: Server should be started as server JRE and clients should be
    started as client JREs
    
    The proposed solution goes beyond fixing the two issues and proposes a
    manner for the user to set specific java arguments (and use a specific
    JVM) for every command-line.
    
    Today the user can specify the JVM to be used using the OPENDS_JAVA_HOME
    environment variable and the java arguments by using the
    OPENDS_JAVA_ARGS environment variable.  In the case of the JVM this
    covers most of the use cases (in general we will use the same JVM for
    all the command-lines).  However this is quite limiting in the case of
    the java arguments we pass.  For instance in general we want to run the
    server (start-ds command-line) using the server mode of the JVM but
    other command-lines using the -client mode of the JVM.  In the same
    manner we might want to have a bigger heap when running the server than
    when we are running a "lightweight" utility as dsconfig.
    
    The proposed solution is to have a properties file called
    java.properties where the user specifies the different JVM and java
    arguments to be used for every command-line.  Once the user has edited
    this properties file, (s)he must run a command-line called
    dsjavaproperties that will update all the scripts to use the arguments
    specified in that properties file.
    
    NOTE: there are a number of command-lines (import-ldif, export-ldif,
    backup, restore) where the user will be able to specify different java
    arguments (and different JVM) to use depending on whether the
    command-line is run in online or offline modes.  You can see the
    comments on java.properties to get more information about this and in
    general about the different properties that can be set.
    
    The modification in the setup basically try to check if the JVM that is
    being used to run the setup (the one that will be used by default)
    supports the -client and -server options.  Depending on the results of
    these checks the setup will update the java.properties file and then run
    dsjavaproperties to update the scripts.

  • Use two environment variables to know which is the JVM to be used by the scripts: OPENDS_JAVA_BIN and OPENDS_JAVA_HOME.
    
    When the setup creates the file lib/set-java-home it writes the contents of OPENDS_JAVA_HOME to it (instead of JAVA_HOME which was the previous behavior).
    
    Before these changes, the scripts used to look for JAVA_BIN, then JAVA_HOME and finally for the contents of the set-java-home file.  The problem with this approach is that if the user required to specify JAVA_HOME or JAVA_BIN to an unsupported version of the JDK (because some other program in the machine had this requirement) the scripts of OpenDS could not run.  Now the checks that we do to figure out the JVM are done in the following order:
    1. Check if OPENDS_JAVA_BIN is defined in the environment.
    2. Check if OPENDS_JAVA_HOME is defined in the environment.
    3. Check if OPENDS_JAVA_HOME is defined in the lib/set-java-home file.
    4. Check if JAVA_BIN is defined in the environment.
    5. Check if JAVA_HOME is defined in the environment.
    6. Check if we can figure out the java installation by executing "type java" (in UNIX environments).
    
    If any of the above checks is positive, we will try to use the JVM found.
    
    Extras: the uninstall script on UNIX now checks that we are using a JDK compatible with 1.5 and displays a user friendly message if it does not.

  • user that the server should run as (invoked via "su"), and also lets the user
    specify the JAVA_HOME and JAVA_ARGS settings that should be used.
    
    This also updates the start-ds and stop-ds commands to support a --quiet
    argument, which causes them to not generate any output.  The generated RC
    script uses this option, since server startup output shouldn't be generated at

  • - Implemented as virtual attributes
       - They are enabled by default
       - numSubordinates and hasSubordinates methods added to the backend API and implemented for all existing backends
       - JE implementation uses the id2children index to keep count of the number of subordinates for each entry.
       - The behavior of exceeding the index-entry-limit (ALL-IDs) has changed to store a 8 byte entry ID set count with the most significant bit 
    set to 1 instead of a 0 byte array to signify the index-entry-limit has been exceeded. The previous format is still compatible but all requests 
    for numSubordinates will return undefined (-1).
       - The DBTest tool is also included in this fix. This can be used to list root containers, entry containers, database containers, index 
    status, as well as dumping a database with or without decoding the data.

  • 1. Provide a fix for the GUI part of issue 1894 (consider replication in uninstall).  Basically the graphical uninstall checks whether there is an ADS defined and if the server is configured for replication and asks the users whether (s)he wants to remove the references to the server that is being uninstalled.
    
    2. Fix some minor issues that appear in the merged version of the installer and upgrader.
    
    3. Update the build so that statuspanel.jar disappears.  The idea is to minimize the number of jars that we have.  This is a requirement coming from customers and approved by Neil in a conversation we had a while ago.
    
    4. Minimize the number of classes that go to quicksetup.jar so that its size is the minimal possible and we reduce the download time when launching the WebStart based tools.  This has been done by moving the uninstaller tool to OpenDS.jar (with the status tools).

  • With the new user access control of Vista, even if we are administrators we are not allowed to do certain operations (such as writing in the service registry) in some circumstances.  For instance if we launch net start <service_name> from a normal command prompt this will fail systematically.  In order to be able to execute these "privileged" operations we have different alternatives:
    
    Execute the binary that will do the operations using the "Run as Administrator" option in Vista (or launching them from a command prompt that has been started using that same option).
    Add a manifest to the binary informing that the binary requires administrator privileges.
    
    The first alternative is one of the workarounds for the bug, however it does not apply to the case of the Java Web Start Installer.
    
    The second alternative is in what consists the bug fix.  A new binary has been created.  This binary has a manifest informing that it requires administrator privileges.  This binary will be used in Vista as a wrapper to call operations that require administrator privileges (modifying the registry in windows-services.bat command line and calling "net start" and "net stop").  
    
    If the user is running the setup, the status-panel using the "Run as Administrator" option or is using the command lines from a command prompt launched with that option the behavior in Vista does not change with the behavior in previous versions of Windows.
    
    If the UAC is enabled and the user is not using the "Run as Administrator" options, (s)he will be prompted for confirmation each time the registry is modified and the server is started or stopped as a service.  The wrapper is called on any of the individual operations.  An alternative would be to call the wrapper when we launch the setup or the status-panel but this generates some issues:
    1. This does not work (directly) with the Java Web Start installer.
    2. This would force users that are not administrators to provide administrator credentials even to install/run an OpenDS that does not require to do privileged operations (an OpenDS that does not run as a service).

  • state information for a user, including getting and setting various state
    variables (even those marked NO-USER-MODIFICATION, although these are typically
    intended for testing purposes only).  Users will be required to have the
    password-reset privilege in order to be able to use this extended operation,
    and access control will also come into play.
    
    Also, include a manage-account tool that can be used to interact with this
    extended operation.  It supports a subset of the capabilities made available in
    the extended operation (e.g., it only allows one operation per use, whereas the
    extended operation allows you to include multiple operations), and some of the
    features intended for testing purposes are marked hidden so that they aren't
    readily apparent to end users.
    
    Finally, fix a bug in which it was not possible for users to authenticate if
    their account had the pwdReset flag and last login time tracking was enabled.

  • The fix consists of modifying the scripts to launch the InstallDS classwith a test option using the JVM
     that was found.  If the JVM can be successfully launched, the JVM is compatible with 1.5, if not we as
    sume that is not compatible with JDK 1.5.
    
    The downside of the fix is that it requires an additional start of the JVM each time the command line i
    s launched. That is why the fix only applies to setup, uninstall, upgrade, start and stop command lines.  The modifications in _server-script.* and _client-script.sh just modify the message displayed when a JVM could not be found (informing that JDK 1.5 or later can be used).

  • - Index rebuilding capabilities. All indexes including system and attribute indexes can 
    be rebuilt. Each index will be rebuilt by a seperate thread to increase performance. A 
    max number of rebuild threads could be set to limit the resources used by large rebuild 
    jobs. Partial rebuilds of attribute indexes could also be done by specifying the 
    attribute index type after the attribute type (ie. sn.approximate).
    - Index rebuilding standalone tool. Rebuilding of attribute indexes could be done with 
    the backend online. However, rebuilds including system indexes must be done with the 
    backend offline.
    - Index rebuilding task. Rebuilding of attribute indexes are done with the backend 
    online. Rebuilds that include system indexes will be performed after bring the backend 
    offline. The user must have index-rebuild privilages to rebuild indexes.
    - Approxitae indexing capability. The value of the attribute will be normalized using 
    the approximate maching rule of that attribute type. This is used as the key for the 
    index. Approximate indexes are fully supported by the index verify, rebuild, and import 
    jobs.
    - Fixed bug in build.xml where weave is enabled even if a test.* property is set.
    - Consolidated some common tool messages.
    - Consolidated some JE backend methods common to all tools.
    - Added unit tests for rebuild job and approximate indexes.

  • The following changes are targeted to be able to run OpenDS as a windows 
    service.
    
    The idea is to be able to run OpenDS to run as a service and to be able 
    also to disable this feature.
    
    The setup has been updated to run OpenDS as a service in windows (which 
    is the standard behavior in this platform).  The uninstall has also been 
    updated to remove all references to OpenDS in the Registry and in the 
    list of services once OpenDS has been uninstalled.
    
    A new executable (opends_service.exe) has been added to be able to 
    perform all the tasks that require native code 
    (registering/unregistering the service, sending events to the event log, 
    etc.).  Most of the code required by this executable is in the file 
    service.c.  The README file has been updated and a Makefile file 
    provided to generate all the executables.
    
    A new command line has been added: windowsservice.bat.  The usage of 
    this command line is the following one:
    
    This utility may be used to configure OpenDS as a Windows service.
    Usage:  windowsservice {options}
                  where {options} include:
    -e  or   --enableService
         Enables OpenDS as a Windows service.
    -d  or   --disableService
         Disables OpenDS as a Windows service and stops the server
    -s  or   --serviceState
         Provides information about the state of OpenDS as a Windows service.
    -H  or   --help
         Display this usage information.
    
    The class associated with this command line (ConfigureWindowsService) 
    uses opends_service.exe.  ConfigureWindowsService is basically a wrapper 
    that allows to have the messages displayed to the user in the Java code 
    (and so to minimize what is done by the native code).
    
    
    Some changes have been made in the start-ds(.bat) and stop-ds(.bat) 
    scripts by extending what the --checkStartability (in DirectoryServer 
    class) and --checkStoppability (in StopDS class) do.  I think that it is 
    a good idea to have all the parsing of the arguments into the java code 
    (specially considering the limitations of the .bat files).  So I have 
    moved most of the parsing to the java code so that the is the java code 
    that provides a return code to the scripts to tell them what to do 
    (start the server in detach mode, stop the server using a system call, 
    stop the server using protocol, etc.).
    
    In the particular case of how start-ds.bat and stop-ds.bat have been 
    updated to manage the case where the server must be started using the 
    system call 'net start <service_name>' and 'net stop <service_name>'. 
    --checkstoppability and --checkstartability tell whether the server must 
    be stopped/started directly with a system call (or stopped using LDAP 
    protocol) or using the Windows Service system.  If it is the latter the 
    bat files use two new auxiliary classes (StopWindowsService and 
    StartWindowsService).  These classes figure out the service name 
    associated with the OpenDS instance and call net stop (or net start) 
    using that service name.
    
    When net start/net stop are called start-ds.bat (or stop-ds.bat) are 
    called.  The Windows Services have been configured to call start-ds.bat 
    and stop-ds.bat with some particular options (--windowsNetStart and 
    --windowsNetStop) to identify the case where we must start/stop the 
    server directly (and so not having an infinite recursive loop of calls 
    to net start/net stop).
    
    In order to have the same user experience when the server is configured 
    to run as a service and when is not the tool class WaitForDelete has 
    also been updated to write its output to a file.  This has been done 
    because piping from the standard output to a file in the context of a 
    Windows Service call does not seem to work properly.  So now 
    WaitForDelete has a new option --outputFile.
    
    setup --cli on windows has a new option '-n' or '-noWindowsService' to allow not to enable the windows service.  When run in interactive mode and this options is not specified the user will systematically be asked whether to enable the windows service or not.
