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 2015-07-06 20:13:55 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/48140

MEP expects that the only time it will create a managed entry is on the addition of the entry. Modifying an existing entry and then having it retrospectively add the managed entry is not supported.

Currently, if one creates an object such as:

objectClass: top
objectClass: account
uid: foo
sn: bar

Followed by a mod operation to add posixAttributes, in a standard MEP with user -> group template, the group is not created, because the operation isn't considered unless it's an add.

This attached patch adds support and dynamic plugin tests to allow MEP to create managed entries if a mod operation would bring an entry into a state where it now satisfies the criteria of the template.
