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.

Description Scott Poore 2013-11-12 19:29:25 UTC 
Description of problem:

In larger, more complex IPA environments where Replica's are not all interconnected, we are missing some dirsrv dna plugin configurations to allow a directory server to lookup ranges on other servers once exhausted.

Per bug#971111 under comment 7:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=971111#c7

We need IPA servers to support the following:

objectClass: dnaPluginConfig
dnaRemoteBindDN 
dnaRemoteBindCred

objectClass: dnaSharedConfig
dnaRemoteBindMethod  (SIMPLE, SSL, SASL/DIGEST-MD5, or SASL/GSSAPI)
dnaRemoteConnProtocol:  (LDAP, TLS, or SSL)

The 389 Devs can provide more details there.

If we do not have this, we can see problems adding users/groups once the uid/gid range is exhausted.  This allows an IPA server to get a UID/GID from a server with an available range.  Bug #971111 covers the DS side of the fix needed to support this configuration.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
389-ds-base-1.3.1.6-8.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
seen often (but not always) in automated testing.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  setup IPA env m1-m2-m3
2.  add user on m3

Actual results:

ipa: ERROR: Operations error: Allocation of a new value for range cn=posix ids,cn=distributed numeric assignment plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config failed! Unable to proceed.


Expected results:

user successfully added to ipa

FYI, a link to the 389 project page covering the DNA Plugin configuration:

Comment 5 Martin Kosek 2014-01-16 09:08:18 UTC 
To manually configure the DNA Plugin remote support, all shared DNA plugin configuration need to be updated:

dn: dnaHostname=ipa.example.com+dnaPortNum=389,cn=posix-ids,cn=dna,cn=ipa,cn=etc,dc=example,dc=com
dnaRemoteConnProtocol: TLS
dnaRemoteBindMethod: SASL/GSSAPI

dnaRemoteBindDN and dnaRemoteBindCred do not need to be configured in the DNA plugin configuration as we are authenticating via GSSAPI and thus do not need there options.

Second step is to authorize the replica that is not a direct replication peer of IPA master to perform the remote DNA call. Replica LDAP service DN needs to be added to nsDS5ReplicaBindDN on the remote IPA master replica configuration (cn=replica,cn=<suffix>,cn=mapping tree,cn=config) so that the IPA master can allow the operation. In order to be able to automate this step, 389-ds-base Bug 1052754 needs to be implemented first.
Comment 7 Martin Kosek 2014-01-17 18:00:40 UTC 
(In reply to Martin Kosek from comment #5)
> dn:
> dnaHostname=ipa.example.com+dnaPortNum=389,cn=posix-ids,cn=dna,cn=ipa,cn=etc,
> dc=example,dc=com
> dnaRemoteConnProtocol: TLS
> dnaRemoteBindMethod: SASL/GSSAPI

As Simo advised, dnaRemoteConnProtocol can be set to plain "LDAP" as with "SASL/GSSAPI" one gets the encryption for free.

The ticket was postponed upstream to the next release, see the details in

https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4026#comment:13

The RHEL work will be therefore postponed too. Sorry for the inconvenience.
