Bug Fix

Doc Text:

Cause: The cn=Directory Manager user is not a real entry, and does not exist in any database backend. Changing the password in IPA would attempt to start a transaction in this database, but it was NULL. Consequence: The server would dereference the NULL database and would crash. Fix: Do not attempt a transaction in a database that does not exist. Result: Server does not crash when using IPA and the Directory Manager password is changed.

Description of problem:

The following piece of code in ipa password change extop plugin seems to be causing a crash:

ipa_pwd_extop.c:
static int ipapwd_chpwop(Slapi_PBlock *pb, struct ipapwd_krbcfg *krbcfg)
{
...
	if (usetxn) {
                Slapi_DN *sdn = slapi_sdn_new_dn_byref(dn);
                Slapi_Backend *be = slapi_be_select(sdn);
                slapi_sdn_free(&sdn);
                if (be) {
			chpwop_pb = slapi_pblock_new();
			if (slapi_pblock_set(chpwop_pb, SLAPI_BACKEND, be)) {
				LOG_FATAL("slapi_pblock_set failed!\n");
				rc = LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR;
				goto free_and_return;
			}
>>>>>			rc = slapi_back_transaction_begin(chpwop_pb);
			if (rc) {
				LOG_FATAL("failed to start transaction\n");
			}
		} else {
			LOG_FATAL("failed to get be backend from %s\n", dn);
		}
	}
...

Comment 6 Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2013-10-17 10:45:22 UTC

I got the same error when changing the password for a normal user:

ldappasswd -D "cn=Directory Manager" -s 12345678 uid=u-127-1797,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com -w 12345678 -x

Comment 7 Martin Kosek 2013-10-17 10:53:52 UTC

Rich, just note that the test above was done on Fedora 19 - I am not sure if it already received this fix as well.

Comment 9 Amita Sharma 2014-01-28 13:54:59 UTC

Hi Mark,

I am getting below response. DS does not crash, IPA rather receives an error code from slapi_back_transaction_begin.

This is the expected behavior(fix is working).  This fix/patch was added to  1.3.1.6-6, and you are testing 1.3.1.6-14.
