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.
Enhanced IdM topology management
Information about the Identity Management (IdM) topology is now maintained at a central location in the shared tree. As a result, you can now manage the topology from any IdM server using the command line or the web UI.
Additionally, some topology management operations have been simplified, notably:
* Topology commands have been integrated into the IdM command-line interface, so that you can perform all replica operations using the native IdM command-line tools.
* You can manage replication agreements in the web UI or from the command line using a new and simplified workflow.
* The web UI includes a graph of the IdM topology, which helps visualize the current state of replica relationships.
* IdM includes safety measures that prevent you from accidentally deleting the last certificate authority (CA) master from the topology or isolating a server from the other servers.
* Support for server roles as a simpler way of determining which server in the topology hosts which services as well as installing these services onto a server.
For details, see https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html-single/Linux_Domain_Identity_Authentication_and_Policy_Guide/index.html#managing-topology
Note that the new functionality requires raising the domain level to `1`. See https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html-single/Linux_Domain_Identity_Authentication_and_Policy_Guide/index.html#domain-level
Description of problem:
As an Administrator I want to manage the IdM Server replication topology from a central location via CLI or UI, so that I can overview the configured topology and easily do changes to the replication agreements of the main or CA database.
Upstream design: http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Manage_replication_topology
Unlinking #5883 and #5884:
* topology graph: Add background to the canvas to improve UX
* topology graph: add buttons for zooming the canvas
They are only UX enhancements which won't be addresses in 4.4 upstream release. They don't solve any additional use cases.
