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.

Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Broken logic in handling automatic databases' numbering. Consequence: The frontend database olcDatabase attribute has not been prepended by an index which resulted in error while modifying the database. Fix: Underlying patch, adopted from upstream, fixes the issue. Result: The frontend databse is correctly indexed and modifying the databse works as it should.

Description Louis Abel 2015-05-31 00:14:56 UTC 
The following bug was closed as a duplicate of 1132094.

The prior bug report 1132094 was closed as fixed. This is still not the case. A new install of openldap-servers-2.4.39-6 has the same issue as described below. The /usr/share/openldap-servers/slapd.ldif appears to be correct, but the generation of the dynamic configuration has proven that it is still broken and requires manual editing.

/etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={-1}frontend.ldif
# AUTO-GENERATED FILE - DO NOT EDIT!! Use ldapmodify.
# CRC32 7bfbe68d
dn: olcDatabase={-1}frontend
objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig
objectClass: olcFrontendConfig
olcDatabase: frontend
...

The same modification issues described below still occur as a result.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1132111 +++

Description of problem:

Modifications cannot be performed on the default olcDatabase={-1}Frontend due to the olcDatabase attribute being incorrect as opposed to the distinguished name. 

Default install shows:
dn: olcDatabase={-1}frontend
olcDatabase: frontend

Should be:
dn: olcDatabase={-1}frontend
olcDatabase: {-1}frontend

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openldap-servers-2.4.39-3.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
On first installation of openldap-servers package/Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install openldap-servers
2. Attempt to modify olcDatabase={-1}Frontend

Actual results:
[root@library ldif]# ldapmodify -xWD "cn=config" -f ~/stuff 
Enter LDAP Password: 
modifying entry "olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config"
ldap_modify: Naming violation (64)
        additional info: value of naming attribute 'olcDatabase' is not present in entry


Expected results:
modifying entry "olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config"
(No errors)

Additional info:
This is corrected by manually editing /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn\=config/olcDatabase\=\{-1\}frontend.ldif - Which is discouraged.

This is also similar to bug: 1132094, which states that the ldif is also missing an important objectClass.

Comment 3 Matus Honek 2015-06-03 08:49:05 UTC 
As you correctly stated the issue has not been resolved by solving BZ1132094.
However, the issue has already been resolved in upstream by resolving issue ITS#8150 (which modifies first attempt (ITS#7016) to resolve the bug) which is already in REL_ENG_2_4 branch which means the patch is supposed to be included in upcoming OpenLDAP 2.4.41 release.

A patch for this issue is planned for the next RHEL7 release.
