#54 Which Delphi-Version

Robert Nelson — Sun, 14 Mar 2021 12:43:49 -0000

I'm using Delphi 10.3 Community Edition. I fixed the compile error by adding a cast to the second arg in line 417.

My Version:

PutLine('dn', PBytes(@Entry.utf8dn[1]), Length(Entry.utf8dn));

Which Delphi-Version

Which Delphi-Version should I use to compile LDAPAdmin?
I tried with Delphi2010 (failed as String-helper "StartsWith" is used in Config.pas - among other errors.
Then I tried with Rad Studio 10.4 - here it has issues with PCCERT_CONTEXT in Cert.pas.
Fixed by changing "uses" order to
uses WinLdap, Windows, wcrypt2;
Then it fails compiling Ldif.pas in line 417, PBytes vs Pointer...
Before I do that over and over: Which Delphi version should be used to compile it?
Thanks! R.

Searchdialog Edit: DN-Syntaxerror from values with commas

Anonymous — Sun, 01 Dec 2019 15:06:49 -0000

It is not possible to "Edit ..." an entry of an object, that has comma in values of the DN, if you try that from a resultline of the searchdialog (but it is possible in the LDAP-Tree). Example attached (LDAPADMIN 32-Bit Version 1.8.3)...

olcAccess modify limited to 255 chars

Anonymous — Wed, 17 Oct 2018 00:22:35 -0000

olcAccess text value is limited to 255 chars (maybe other attributes is limited too). I have a case that ACL is complex and cannot be modified by LDAP Admin

Change Password creates duplicate userPassword attribute

Craig — Thu, 20 Sep 2018 16:03:59 -0000

A common ACL setup involves denying read access to the userPassword attribute, but allowing writes. This makes the field 'write-only' so that, for example, helpdesk tecnicians cannot read password hashes but are able to reset a password.

If the 'Set Password' dialog is used while this type of ACL setup is in place, LDAP Admin uses an LDAP 'add' operation rather than 'replace'. As userPassword is a multivalued attribute as defined by rfc4519, this causes a duplicate 'userPassword' attribute to be added, leaving the old one in place.

This apparently is because LDAP Admin is not seeing the existing userPassword. If the ACLs are changed so that the user has read access to userPassword, the application uses a 'replace' operation which removes the old password.

#50 Entry move in 1.8 failed

Tihomir Karlovic — Thu, 01 Feb 2018 15:46:42 -0000

Ok, this is a problem that v1.7 used copy/delete methos to move objects and the v1.8 detects if the server is V3 and then uses server control. I will have to add some additional checks or a manual override possibility.

#47 infinite loop (duplicates entries and makes them a child element of itself)

Hello Tihomir,
sorry, took my some time to get back to this issue but now it's one of my top priorities again.

The server is my own which runs OpenLDAP so I have full control of the server. I attached all config files to this post.

Hope it helps and thanks for looking at it!

Entry move in 1.8 failed

Anonymous — Mon, 06 Nov 2017 14:44:07 -0000

If you move a entry in version 1.8 you got the message "This server is configured to refuse to move entries..."
Version 1.7 works fine.

Application hang on 'Go To' from search results

Anonymous — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 00:03:14 -0000

Hi,

Thanks for an excellent tool.

When I search for a user, the result is returned just fine. However when I right click and select 'Go To' the search window says 'Not responding' and the application hangs. We have a large number of users in our ldap. When I use a competing tool, it goes straight to the entry just fine and only displays the entry I am interested in.

God bless,

Jonathan
