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 Noriko Hosoi 2015-06-26 17:11:52 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/48195

We write to our directory via Java API. When changing our groups the ModificationItems are lists of distinguished names of users. 

There is no problem when we add new uniqueMembers to our groups, but deleting them takes much too long on the second (replicated) master. (example deleting 850 members from 86000 takes 159 seconds on dldap02).

dldap01

I found a closed ticket (#346) with some simmilarities, maybe the problem still exists in a multimaster replication environment when deleting attributes. Logging shows millions of calls to plugin_call_syntax_filter_ava uniqueMember=gvGid=AT:L7:TSN:i.weitlaner,ou=People,ou=TSN-AD,dc=tirol+gvOuId=AT:L7:LVN:000001,dc=gv,dc=at ?

Verification scenario by lkrispen - https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/48195#comment:21
"I tested this fix with the following scenario:
have 2 masters, have a group with 90000 members, delete 200 members (members 70001-70200). 
without the fix, on the master it takes 1 sec, on the replica 40 sec
with the fix it takes 1 sec on both"

1) Setup two masters replication
master1 - 389
master2 - 390

2) Enable MemberOf Plugin on both instances:
$ ldapmodify -x -p 389 -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123
dn: cn=MemberOf Plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config
changetype: modify
add: memberofgroupattr
memberofgroupattr: uniquemember
-
replace: nsslapd-pluginEnabled
nsslapd-pluginEnabled: on

3) Increase nsslapd-maxbersize for adding big attributes on both instances:
$ ldapmodify -x -p 389 -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-maxbersize
nsslapd-maxbersize: 400000000

4) Add 90000 users and add them as members on the group
$ head 02users_usrA_grpA.ldif                                                                                                                                                                          
dn: uid=usrA1,dc=example,dc=com
uid: usrA1
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: inetUser
sn: usrA1
cn: usrA1
memberOf: cn=grpA,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com

dn: uid=usrA2,dc=example,dc=com
---

$ head grpA.ldif 
dn: cn=grpA,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: groupOfNames
cn: grpA
member: uid=usrA1,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA2,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA3,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA4,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA5,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA6,dc=example,dc=com
---

$ ldapmodify -a -x -p 389 -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 -f 02users_usrA_grpA.ldif 
$ ldapmodify -a -x -p 389 -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 -f grpA.ldif

5) Wait for replica
$ ldapsearch -x -p 389 -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 -b "cn=grpA,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com" |grep -i member: |wc -l
90000
$ ldapsearch -x -p 390 -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 -b "cn=grpA,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com" |grep -i member: |wc -l
90000

6) Delete 200 members from master1
$ head del200members.ldif 
dn: cn=grpA,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
delete: member
member: uid=usrA70001,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA70002,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA70003,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA70004,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA70005,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA70006,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA70007,dc=example,dc=com
---
$ time ldapmodify -x -p 389 -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 -f del200members.ldif
modifying entry "cn=grpA,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com"

real    0m0.325s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.001s

7) Delete 200 members from master2
$ head del200members2.ldif 
dn: cn=grpA,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
delete: member
member: uid=usrA60001,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA60002,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA60003,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA60004,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA60005,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA60006,dc=example,dc=com
member: uid=usrA60007,dc=example,dc=com
---
$ time ldapmodify -x -p 390 -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 -f del200members2.ldif
modifying entry "cn=grpA,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com"

real    0m0.326s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.001s

8) Check
$ ldapsearch -x -p 389 -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 -b "cn=grpA,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com" |grep -i member: |wc -l
89800
$ ldapsearch -x -p 390 -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 -b "cn=grpA,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com" |grep -i member: |wc -l
89600

Result: deletion times on master and replica are the same.

Marking as verified.
