Hello, if the openldap-servers package is missing from the repositories, it's not a dnf bug, it's up to the opendap maintainers to provide the packages. Reassigning.

Comment 2 Simon Pichugin 2021-09-20 16:43:02 UTC
Hello, the openldap-servers package is missing from the repositories because it was removed in RHEL 8 and it's no longer supported.
The openldap-clients package is still shipped, though, and because of this - it's up to date.

Comment 6 Ding-Yi Chen 2022-04-20 07:31:46 UTC
We are unable to provide further support regarding openldap-servers because it was listed as removed packages [1].

openldap-servers was provided in codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms as a temporary solution, it is not meant to be a permanent, supported one.

That said, we do support following migration path:

- OpenLDAP server to IdM  [2]
- OpenLDAP server to RHDS [3]


Please file a support case in Red Hat Customer Portal [4] should you need support on migration.
