Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

1) Create the entry
# ldapadd -cvvvv -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -f /root/ldif/create-posix-user2.ldif
ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
add objectClass:
top
account
posixAccount
shadowAccount
add cn:
Non Secure User
add uid:
user80
add uidNumber:
80
add gidNumber:
80
add homeDirectory:
/home/insecure
add loginShell:
/bin/bash
add userpassword:
{CLEAR}redhat
adding new entry "uid=user80,ou=People,dc=coe,dc=muc,dc=redhat,dc=com"
modify complete
2) Check the index file
# dbscan -f /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-tscherf54/db/userRoot/gidNumber.db4 |grep "=80"
=80
3) Delete the entry
# ldapdelete -vx -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W "uid=user80,ou=People,dc=coe,dc=muc,dc=redhat,dc=com"
ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
deleting entry "uid=user80,ou=People,dc=coe,dc=muc,dc=redhat,dc=com"
4) Verify the value from deleted entry has been removed from index
# dbscan -f /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-tscherf54/db/userRoot/gidNumber.db4 |grep "=80"
#
5) Run db2index again
# /usr/lib64/dirsrv/slapd-tscherf54/db2index.pl -n userRoot -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -t gidNumber
adding new entry "cn=db2index_2015_8_19_10_34_41, cn=index, cn=tasks, cn=config"
6) Value from removed entry shows up in index file again
# dbscan -f /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-tscherf54/db/userRoot/gidNumber.db4 |grep "=80"
=80
7) ldapsearch fails to find the removed entry and there is also nothing related in the error log:
# ldapsearch -x gidNumber=80
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=coe,dc=muc,dc=redhat,dc=com> (default) with scope subtree
# filter: gidNumber=80
# requesting: ALL
