provision: Remove final code for the LDAP backend

2020-04-23T06:12:20+00:00

The LDAP backend for the Samba AD DC, aiming to store the AD DC in
an existing LDAP server was largely removed many years aga, but the
other parts were removed in 2b0fc74a0916a6ab0d5ac007cc5e100d4682b2ea.

samba-tool domain provision: Remove experimental OpenLDAP support

2019-08-30T08:32:30+00:00

This feature has long been obsolete, remaining only in the hope
that it might be revived in the future.

Specifically, in 2011 the S4 OpenLDAP backend HOWTO was removed:

 commit 1d46325af8541ea467c79cd86e65f93ce6a14ff4
 Author: Andrew Bartlett 
 Date:   Wed Apr 27 22:42:29 2011 +1000

     Remove outdated S4 OpenLDAP backend HOWTO.

There is a project to revive this, hosted here:

https://github.com/Symas/samba
and
https://github.com/Symas/samba_overlays

However discussions at SambaXP with Nadezhda Ivanova
indicate a new approach with slapd being started by Samba
and taught to read native Samba ldb files is more likely
in the short term.

This has the advantage that Samba's provision and offline
tooling would not need to change, with the solution looking
more like how BIND9_DLZ has access to the Samba DB.

If any of this is required then reverting these patches will be
the least of the difficulties in bringing this to production.

Python provision: remove "ExistingBackend"

2018-11-01T04:08:12+00:00

This was unused and broken. e.g. here:

-    def init(self):
-        # Check to see that this 'existing' LDAP backend in fact exists
-        ldapi_db = Ldb(self.ldapi_uri)

there is no attribute self.ldapi_uri, so this would always raise an
exception.

It was being left around in case it became useful, but that doesn't
seem to be happening.

python: do not use "is" for string equality

2018-10-29T22:13:36+00:00

This is not always going to work, and is not guaranteed to be
consistent even between minor versions.

Here is a simple counterexample:

>>> a = 'hello'
>>> a is 'hello'
True
>>> a is 'hello'.lower()
False
>>> a == a.lower()
True

Possibly it always works for the empty string, but we cannot rely
on that.
