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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2016:0758 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE nss-pam-ldapd bug fix update 2016-05-10 22:32:39 UTC

Description Dalibor Pospíšil 2015-03-20 14:58:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
It should be correctly stated in man page of nslcd.conf that multiple URIs can be set by using more uri lines or more URIs defined on one uri line.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nss-pam-ldapd-0.7.5-20.el6_6.3

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man nslcd.conf
2.
3.

Actual results:
       uri URI
              Specifies the LDAP URI of the server to connect to.  The URI scheme may be ldap, ldapi or ldaps, specifying LDAP over TCP, ICP or SSL respectively (if supported by the LDAP library).   Alternatively,
              the value DNS may be used to try to lookup the server using DNS SRV records. By default the current domain is used but another domain can be queried by using the DNS:DOMAIN syntax.

              When using the ldapi scheme, %2f should be used to escape slashes (e.g. ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fslapd%2fldapi/), although most of the time this should not be needed.

              This option may be specified multiple times. Normally, only the first server will be used with the following servers as fall-back (see bind_timelimit below).

              If LDAP lookups are used for host name resolution, any host names should be specified as an IP address or name that can be resolved without using LDAP.


Expected results:
       uri URI ...
              Specifies the LDAP URI of the server to connect to.  The URI scheme may be ldap, ldapi or ldaps, specifying LDAP over TCP, ICP or SSL respectively (if supported by the LDAP library).   Alternatively,
              the value DNS may be used to try to lookup the server using DNS SRV records. By default the current domain is used but another domain can be queried by using the DNS:DOMAIN syntax.

              When using the ldapi scheme, %2f should be used to escape slashes (e.g. ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fslapd%2fldapi/), although most of the time this should not be needed.

              This option may be specified multiple times and/or with more URIs on the line, separated by space. Normally, only the first server will be used with the following servers as fall-back (see bind_timelimit below).

              If LDAP lookups are used for host name resolution, any host names should be specified as an IP address or name that can be resolved without using LDAP.
Comment 1 Arthur de Jong 2015-03-20 19:37:06 UTC 
Thanks for your patch. I will probably include your text in the next (upstream) release of nss-pam-ldapd. However, the option to have space-separated URIs was mostly added as a compatibility hack for nss_ldap so was more or less an explicitly undocumented feature.
Comment 2 Jakub Hrozek 2015-10-06 11:33:06 UTC 
Patch was accepted upstream as 95d621ef8cb5d4969e58262eef34b0c0fde9ae6e
