Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Noriko Hosoi 2014-09-23 01:04:05 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47900

root DN, aka "cn=directory manager", should not be restricted by password policy.  During ADD operations the root DN is incorrectly restricted by password policy.  Updating an existing entry, doing a MOD, works as expected.

Comment 1 mreynolds 2014-09-30 19:21:19 UTC

Fixed upstream.

Comment 3 Noriko Hosoi 2015-02-20 00:37:18 UTC

Test case: dirsrvtests/tickets/ticket47900_test.py

Comment 4 Sankar Ramalingam 2015-03-11 13:06:02 UTC

Checked out the lib389 framework and executed the test case - 
ticket47900_test.py. The results shows the test case is passed. Hence, marking the bug as Verified.
