Description

First, congrats to your release.

When trying to reap the benefits of the fixed DIRSERVER-651, I had to do a few replacements of DirectoryPartition with Partition and MutableDirectoryPartitionConfiguration with MutablePartitionConfiguration ...
but when trying to start my ldap with
                       cfg.setWorkingDirectory(workingDir);
java.util.Hashtable jndiEnv = cfg.toJndiEnvironment();
log.debug("jndiEnv.size(): " + jndiEnv.size() + ", env " + env);
env.putAll(cfg.toJndiEnvironment());
new InitialDirContext(env);
I get

Is there any documentation with hints what I have to do?

Well, it seems that the faulty line is :
partitions.put( partition.getSuffix().toString(), partition );

So two guess :
1) partition is NULL
or
2) partition.getSuffix() is NULL

In both cases, there should be something wrong regarding your partition setting, as the trace show that the system partition is initialiazing correctly.

Can you create a simple test case (with a main method) which can be used to reproduce the problem you have ?

Note : we could also add some defensive tests into the code ;)

[Ralf Hauser]

Haven't made a full stand-alone test set yet, but some first hints that may solve the problem:

Set partCfgs = new HashSet();
MutablePartitionConfiguration pgpkeysPartitionConfiguration = new MutablePartitionConfiguration();
...
partCfgs.add(certsPartitionConfiguration);
log.debug(certsPartitionConfiguration + ", certsPartitionConfiguration.getSuffix(): \""
+ certsPartitionConfiguration.getSuffix() + "\"");
...
cfg.setContextPartitionConfigurations(partCfgs);
...
and then follows the code already cited.

Doing this results in the following lines before the log I cited originally
DEBUG [main] (ApacheDSHandler.java:309) - org.apache.directory.server.core.configuration.MutablePartitionConfiguration@1e29b99, pgpkeysPartitionConfiguration.getSuffix(): "dc=pgpkeys"
DEBUG [main] (ApacheDSHandler.java:329) - org.apache.directory.server.core.configuration.MutablePartitionConfiguration@e4e358, certsPartitionConfiguration.getSuffix(): "dc=certs"

[Ralf Hauser]

Ok, got head from svn and noticed that I can't get around really implementing the new methods in the partitions (not partitionconfigurations)
- LdapDN getSuffix()
- LdapDN getUpSuffix()
and not just have eclipse add the missing method stubs... ;)

The same applied to the new methods that now use the LdapName instead of the simple Name.

Now, it starts up as before, except that I see

114015 [main] WARN org.apache.directory.server.core.DefaultDirectoryService - You didn't change the admin password of directory service instance 'default'. Please update the admin password as soon as possible to prevent a possible security breach.

and then when before I was ok, I get

114328 [main] INFO org.apache.directory.server.jndi.ServerContextFactory - Successful bind of an LDAP Service (2636) is complete.

when stepping through, I see the principal here named "unauthenticated caller" is null - what would I have to set for this to work? Some default admin somewhere?

[Ralf Hauser]

and when I try to test it with a client that does use a username/password, I get

        additional info: Bind failed: Unexpected exception.

[Emmanuel Lecharny]

Should be investigated...

[Emmanuel Lecharny]

I have added some checks in 1.5.1 to guarantee that you get valid error messages if the partition is not correctly set. There is nothing more we can do. At least, no more NPE will be thrown.
