Description Simon Pichugin 2020-06-03 14:08:38 UTC

Issue Description
The numSubordinates value should give the number of immediate subordinates.
But it could be inaccurate in cn=monitor case.

Package Version and Platform
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.2 (Ootpa)
$
$ rpm -qa | grep 389-ds-base
389-ds-base-libs-1.4.2.12-2.module+el8dsrv+6428+6e54c518.x86_64
389-ds-base-1.4.2.12-2.module+el8dsrv+6428+6e54c518.x86_64
$

Steps to reproduce
Install 389-ds 1.4.2 on RHEL 8.2 ( I can reproduce also on RHEL 7 - 389-ds 1.3.10 ).
Create a new suffix with some sample entries.
Compare the numSubordinates value on the root entry with the actual number of direct subordinate(s).
Actual results
The numSubordinates value for the root entry is always higher ( +1 ) than the number of immediate children.

There seems to be a miscalculation for the "cn=monitor" entry:
$ ldapsearch -LLL -Y EXTERNAL -H 'ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fslapd-<instance>.socket' -b "cn=monitor" -s base "objectclass=*" 1.1 numSubordinates 2> /dev/null
dn: cn=monitor
numSubordinates: 4

$ ldapsearch -LLL -Y EXTERNAL -H 'ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fslapd-<instance>.socket' -b "cn=monitor" -sone "(|(objectclass=*)(objectclass=ldapsubentry))" 1.1 2>/dev/null | grep -c ^dn:
3

Expected results
Both values should be identical.

Need more time to test it
-> moving to ITM 6

Comment 7 sgouvern 2020-12-18 10:47:15 UTC

ITM strip suspended during end of year break -> moving to ITM 10

Comment 8 Simon Pichugin 2021-01-13 17:48:41 UTC

You can try to verify it once again as the issue that was blocking this issue was fixed (presumably).

The build that should be tested - 389-ds-1.4-8040020210113163752-866effaa

Comment 9 Akshay Adhikari 2021-01-15 15:57:42 UTC

Build Tested: 389-ds-base-1.4.3.16-8.module+el8.4.0+9441+bd0f8b1f.x86_64

ldapsearch -LLL -Y EXTERNAL -H 'ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fslapd-<instance>.socket' -b "cn=monitor" -s base "objectclass=*" 1.1 numSubordinates 2> /dev/null
dn: cn=monitor
numSubordinates: 3

ldapsearch -LLL -Y EXTERNAL -H 'ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fslapd-<instance>.socket' -b "cn=monitor" -sone "(|(objectclass=*)(objectclass=ldapsubentry))" 1.1 2>/dev/null | grep -c ^dn:
3

-> Marking as verified: tested.
