Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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 Nathan Kinder 2013-12-17 21:30:36 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/411

Comparing the following 2 mods in one modify, the first one is much faster.
Tested wit 10K values, the first case took 23 sec. vs. the second 80 sec.
{{{
mods[0].mod_op: LDAP_MOD_ADD
mods[0].mod_type: uniqueMember
mods[0].mod_values: <value_0>
                    <value_1>
                       ...
                    <value_N>

mods[0].mod_op: LDAP_MOD_ADD
mods[0].mod_type: uniqueMember
mods[0].mod_values: <value_0>
mods[1].mod_op: LDAP_MOD_ADD
mods[1].mod_type: uniqueMember
mods[1]mod_values: <value_1>
         ...
mods[N].mod_op: LDAP_MOD_ADD
mods[N].mod_type: uniqueMember
mods[N]mod_values: <value_N>
}}}

We may be able to introduce mods optimizer for some cases like the above.

Note: there are some operations which should not be optimized/cancelled.
For instance, mods could be used for check-and-increment as follows.  In the example, if foo=1 does not exist, the modify should fail and the next add should not happen.
{{{
mods[0].mod_op: LDAP_MOD_DELETE
mods[0].mod_type: foo
mods[0].mod_values: 1
mods[1].mod_op: LDAP_MOD_ADD
mods[1].mod_type: foo
mods[1]mod_values: 2
}}}

Verification Steps

[1]  Install DS
[2]  Enable "audit" logging

# ldapmodify ...
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-auditlog-logging-enabled
nsslapd-auditlog-logging-enabled: on

[3] Add an entry:

dn: uid=user,dc=example,dc=com
uid: user
givenName: user
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetorgperson
sn: user
cn: user
description: 1
description: 2
description: 3

[4]  Remove each description attribute separately

# ldapmodify ...
dn: uid=user,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
delete: description
description: 1
-
delete: description
description: 2
-
delete: description
description: 3

Internally it will get converted to the following format - which is much more efficient:

dn: uid=user,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
delete: description
description: 1
description: 2
description: 3

[5]  Verify that this is how the modify operation appears in the audit log:

------------------------------------------
time: 20141023140935
dn: uid=user,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
delete: description
description: 1
description: 2
description: 3
-
replace: modifiersname
modifiersname: cn=directory manager
-
replace: modifytimestamp
modifytimestamp: 20141023180935Z
-
------------------------------------------
