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.

Summary: dynamically added macro aci is not evaluated on the fly

Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version: 389-ds-base-1.3.3.1-6.el7 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: When macro aci is dynamically added and if the aci's macro target dn is not normalized, the following operation that requires the aci could fail with Insufficient access since matching the target dn and the macro target dn fails since the code expects normalized macro target dn. Fix: Before setting the macro target dn, the dn is normalized. Result: Even if an aci that contains pre-normalized macro target dn is dynamically added, it's correctly used to evaluate the access rights.

This is a reguression.

sample aci>
dn: <SUFFIX>
aci: (target="ldap:///ou=People, ($dn), <SUFFIX>") (targetattr!="userPassword")(targetfilter=(objectClass=nsManagedPerson)) (version 3.0; acl "Admin access to all users in this and lower domains"; allow (write,read,search) groupdn="ldap:///cn=Domain Administrators, ou=Groups, [$dn], <SUFFIX>";)

UserA in the groupdn fails to modify the attributes of UserB which has "objectClass: nsManagedPerson" and under ou=People,($dn),<SUFFIX>.  Both UserA and UserB share the same $dn.

The modify attempts returns Insufficient access.
ldap_modify: Insufficient access
ldap_modify: additional info: Insufficient 'write' privilege to the 'sn' attribute of entry 'uid=UserB,ou=people,($dn),<SUFFIX>'.

Restarting the server solves this problem and UserA is allowed to modify UserB's attributes.

Comment 3 Viktor Ashirov 2014-11-24 16:55:28 UTC
$ rpm -qa | grep 389
389-ds-base-1.3.3.1-9.el7.x86_64
389-ds-base-debuginfo-1.3.3.1-9.el7.x86_64
389-ds-base-libs-1.3.3.1-9.el7.x86_64

1. I did a fresh install of DS, added test entries.
2. Checked that UserA cannot modify UserB sn attribute:
$ ldapmodify -h localhost:389 -D "cn=UserA,ou=People,dc=subdomain1,dc=hostedcompany1,dc=example,dc=com" -w Secret123 
dn: cn=UserB,ou=People,dc=subdomain1,dc=hostedcompany1,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: sn
sn: UserB_modified_by_UserA

modifying entry "cn=UserB,ou=People,dc=subdomain1,dc=hostedcompany1,dc=example,dc=com"
ldap_modify: Insufficient access (50)
	additional info: Insufficient 'write' privilege to the 'sn' attribute of entry 'cn=userb,ou=people,dc=subdomain1,dc=hostedcompany1,dc=example,dc=com'.

3. Added aci to ou=people,dc=subdomain1,dc=hostedcompany1,dc=example,dc=com:
aci: (target="ldap:///ou=People, ($dn), dc=example,dc=com") (targetattr!="userPassword")(targetfilter=(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)) (version 3.0; acl "Admin access to all users in this and lower domains"; allow (write,read,search) groupdn="ldap:///cn=Domain Administrators, ou=Groups, [$dn], dc=example,dc=com";)

4. Checked that UserA can modify UserB sn attribute:
$ ldapmodify -h localhost:389 -D "cn=UserA,ou=People,dc=subdomain1,dc=hostedcompany1,dc=example,dc=com" -w Secret123 
dn: cn=UserB,ou=People,dc=subdomain1,dc=hostedcompany1,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: sn
sn: UserB_modified_by_UserA
modifying entry "cn=UserB,ou=People,dc=subdomain1,dc=hostedcompany1,dc=example,dc=com"

$ ldapsearch -o ldif-wrap=no -LLL -x -H ldap://localhost:389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 -b dc=example,dc=com "(cn=UserB)" sn
dn: cn=UserB,ou=People,dc=subdomain1,dc=hostedcompany1,dc=example,dc=com
sn: UserB_modified_by_UserA

Dynamically added macro aci was evaluated without server restart. Hence marking this bug as VERIFIED.
