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 Martin Kosek 2015-03-06 14:37:21 UTC
The current way to handle replication, is cumbersome and makes it difficult to properly handle replication topology.

Create a new replication topology subtree under the cn=etc tree that will have a simplified schema to list the replication agreements between servers, and have a global configs for things like excluded replication attributes.

The idea is that admins would change objects in this shared tree and these changes would then be reflected in actual replication agreement changes in cn=config as a consequence.

Advantages (in no particular order):

* it becomes possible to easily visualize the topology w/o having to contact multiple servers
* it is possible to centrally remove a server and have all other server remove the relevant replication agreement w/o having to contact every single server
* it is possible to have a topology checker that uses graph theory
* it is possible to use said checker to prevent split brain situations by simply denying (LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM) changes that would break the graph
* it is possible to create new agreements remotely w/o direct access to the replica just by virtue of replication of the shared tree.
* it will be possible to create multiple replication typologies for different database (ie one for main tree and one for CA data) and have distinct checks for all of them.

In the first version, the Web UI should be able to display at least read only graph of the replicas.

Comment 14 Martin Kosek 2015-06-30 10:50:31 UTC
The functionality is there. From now on, the feature is in bugfixing mode upstream.

Comment 15 Martin Kosek 2015-07-07 07:49:06 UTC
Topology feature was postponed in the upstream project, to FreeIPA 4.3 which should closely follow FreeIPA 4.2 release.

See the reasoning and details in:
