Maximum number of users reached

[mgiammarco]

Hello,
I am using zentyal 3.0 and bulk creating 1283 students with the perl script in your wiki.
After a bit the perl script starts giving this error: "Maximum number of users reached".

Why? Is there a user limit?

Please help me!

Nobody replies?
So I have to assume that community edition is "crippled"?

What if you try to add some more accounts manually ?

Just tried it does not work too. I get a blank page reply and the user is not added to zentyal.

[christian]

Thank you.
1 - How many accounts have been successfully created so far?
2 - let's wait for Zentyal team to tell us whenever such limit exists or not. I really don't know

As per:
http://forum.zentyal.org/index.php?topic=10230.0
There doesn't seem to be a limit.

[mgiammarco]

I have created 472 users.

Have a look here: http://trac.zentyal.org/ticket/5141

On OpenLDAP default sizeLimit value is 500. If you need to modify this value use custom templates for that or change that directly on slapd config backend. You can find more information about this in the forum.

Great!
I am trying it now. Unfortunately I am not able to find the username and password for cn=config tree to add the sizelimit property.
Thanks again,

OK now I have put in my ldap on port 390  "olcSizeLimit" = 20000.

But I have the same result:  Maximum number of users reached

May I ask you if someone has tested zentyal 3.0 with more than 500 users?

Can I try to reinstall some package?

[mgiammarco]

I am debugging User.pm

It does:

1) tries to find the first freeuid in system (or ldap??) users
2) if it is greater than 65534 it complains that there are too many users

But:

1) In my ldap I see that most users have an uid very high: greater than 50000
2) in /etc/passwd I see that there is an user nobody with uid 65534

What's happened? Can I delete user nobody? What can I try?

Thanks again,
Mario

[mgiammarco]

I have not yet finished the debugging.
Now I have found that I have several users with UID greater than 100000.

Please note that I have installed zentyal 3.0 from scratch, updated it, configured the domain and then immediately added users.
How is possible that I get this error?

[mgiammarco]

I have started from scratch with a new installation of zentyal and I get the same problem.

Looking at the last inserted name I see that it has a space in the username.

Is possible that a space in username makes the uid greather than 65535 so next names cannot be inserted?

Although this is now widely supported (including Ubuntu), still some (old) Unix platform do not support login with space in the middle.
Use of RFC2307bis permits it 

This say, I don't know if it can generate any issue with [uidnumber] (BTW, [uid] is something else  ) but I believe that testing should be quite easy.
Can you try to import only users with not space in their [uid] (which is hat GUI call "user name")?

[Javier Amor Garcia]

No, the problem is that the algorithm that finds the uid is very naive and cannot reuse holes in the assigned UIDs so theUID number used by the next user will be the maximum UID + 1. Can not change the UIDs of your users  in the file your feed to the script?
