Description Bob Relyea 2016-10-22 00:32:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
It's not always safe to have multiple instances of the same database open in the same process. Because of this, the NSS initialization code will automatically combine multiple database opens into a single one. There is another way, however, to open databases: SECMOD_OpenUserDB().

This multiple open combined with a bug in softoken leads to the issue in the slapd in FIPS mode described in bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1352109.
