[Samba] samba log level: ldap log file remains empty

[Hoefle, Marco (Avnet Silica)]

Hello,
I have different services using ldap for user/passwd queries. I am using the LDAP server integrated in the samba domain controller. 
For debugging and login attempts I wanted to have all requests in a separate log file.
I am using the 2:4.19.5+dfsg-4ubuntu9 (standard ubuntu 24.04 package) samba package.


This is the relevant samba dc config:

	server role = active directory domain controller
	server services = s3fs, rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, drepl, winbindd, ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate
	workgroup = TRAUTES
	idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes
	allow dns updates = nonsecure and secure
	log level = 2 auth_json_audit:3@/var/log/samba/domain_join.log ldap:10@/var/log/samba/ldap.log auth:5 passdb:5 rpc_srv:5 rpc_parse:5 dnsupdate:10@/var/log/samba/dnsupdate.log
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

The domain join log file ( /var/log/samba/domain_join.log) is created and works (I see each domain join approach).
The LDAP queries are not in the file. 
/var/log/samba/ldap.log is created but remains empty even after a successful LDAP query.

Generally, I cannot see any ldap requests in the other log files either.

The same applies to the dbsupdate.log file.

Any ideas how I can achieve this?

Thanks
Marco
