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 Ján Rusnačko 2013-11-13 15:40:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
From RHEL 7 most DS plugins are converted to be betxn - if their operation fails, whole transaction should fail and not be comitted to database. In case of Managed Entries plugin, we can create a situation where plugin fails to create managed entry, e.g. due to mapped attribute missing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7 389-ds-base-1.3.1.6-8.el7.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:

# enable plugin
ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 <<EOF
dn: cn=Managed Entries,cn=plugins,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-pluginEnabled
nsslapd-pluginEnabled: on
EOF

# add template entry
ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 -a <<EOF
dn: cn=template,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: mepTemplateEntry
cn: template
mepRDNAttr: cn
mepStaticAttr: objectclass: top
mepStaticAttr: objectclass: person
mepStaticAttr: objectclass: inetOrgPerson
mepMappedAttr: cn: \$cn
mepMappedAttr: uid: \$uid
mepMappedAttr: sn: \$sn
EOF

# add definition entry
ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 -a <<EOF
dn: cn=definition,cn=Managed Entries, cn=plugins,cn=config
objectclass: top
objectclass: extensibleObject
cn: definition
originScope: ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
originFilter: objectclass=person
managedBase: ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
managedTemplate: cn=template,dc=example,dc=com
EOF

# Add new entry - adding managed entry should fail
ldapmodify -a -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 <<EOF
dn: cn=tuser,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
cn: tuser
sn: tuser
EOF

# Returns entry
ldapsearch -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 -LLL -b "cn=tuser,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"

# Returns no such object
ldapsearch -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 -LLL -b "cn=tuser,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com"


Actual results:

[13/Nov/2013:01:47:02 -0700] managed-entries-plugin - mep_parse_mapped_attr:
Mapped attribute "uid" is not present in origin entry
"cn=tuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com".  Please correct template to only map
attributes required by the schema.
[13/Nov/2013:01:47:02 -0700] managed-entries-plugin - mep_create_managed_entry:
Error parsing mapped attribute in template "cn=template,dc=example,dc=com".
[13/Nov/2013:01:47:02 -0700] managed-entries-plugin - mep_add_managed_entry:
Unable to create a managed entry from origin entry
"cn=tuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" using config "cn=definition,cn=Managed
Entries,cn=plugins,cn=config". 

and original entry is successfully added:

[root@localhost jrusnack]# ldapsearch -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123
-LLL -b "cn=tuser,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" dn
dn: cn=tuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com 

Expected results:
If the plugins operation is part of transaction, failure to add managed entry should not commit original entry to the database.
