[389-users] Re: DNA Plugin creating duplicates

Hi,

sorry to be late on that thread. DNA should prevent duplicate values via internal searches before allocating. If configured ranges from server are separated, DNA should not allocate duplicate. Is it possible that a direct update could set the attribute managed by DNA ?

regards
Thierry

Yep, I just tested it out for haha's on my test directory instance after skimming the plugin source and seeing that it actually does does a range search using >=, <=. Sure enough that seems to have resolved it. It did work properly in the current configuration once upon a time so either my directory grew enough that the range search started to time out without the index or the range search was introduced in an update at some point. Thanks for the pointer!

Sorry, I just double checked and I do​ have the integerOrderingMatch Matching Rule configured for uidNumber and gidNumber. I have no idea if that would make a difference for you or not.

Thanks, that's a good thought. It looks like I do have the index set up though.

dn: cn=uidnumber,cn=index,cn=userroot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config

cn: uidnumber

nsIndexType: eq

nsSystemIndex: False

objectClass: top

objectClass: nsIndex

Does the index also need to support nsMatchingRule: integerOrderingMatch for inequality searching?

It has been a long time since I set this up and I am running an older version of the server but I did find this in my notes:

Before assigning a number to a new entry the DNA plugin searches the directory to ensure that the number is not already being used. For this reason indexes had to be created for all of the attributes which the DNA plugin can assign values to.

Perhaps that is it?

Hi,

I'm running 389ds 2.0.15 on a two node cluster in a multi master mode. I'm using the DNA plugin to generate unique uid numbers for new accounts. Each directory instance is assigned a unique range of uid numbers. It works in so far as it assigns a uid number when it gets the magic token but whatever is supposed to be verifying that the uid number is not already assigned is not working. I've cranked the error log level up, but I don't get anything in the logs that is helpful in determining why that validation is not working correctly. 

# ansible-managed-uidnumber-generation, Distributed Numeric Assignment Plugin,

 plugins, config

dn: cn=ansible-managed-uidnumber-generation,cn=Distributed Numeric Assignment

 Plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config

objectClass: top

objectClass: dnaPluginConfig

cn: ansible-managed-uidnumber-generation

dnaType: uidNumber

dnaNextValue: 62009

dnaMaxValue: 131000

dnaMagicRegen: generate

dnaFilter: (objectclass=posixAccount)

dnaScope: ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=edu

dnaSharedCfgDN: ou=ranges,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=edu

I'm stumped. Anyone have any direction on how to debug this further?

Thanks!

Todd
