Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

Description Noriko Hosoi 2015-08-21 17:01:40 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/48254

For instance, if db2index is run against the standard browsing index, it fails.
{{{
sh -x /usr/sbin/db2index -Z SERVERID -n userRoot -T "by MCC ou=People dc=example dc=com"

+ /usr/sbin/ns-slapd db2index -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-SERVERID -n userRoot= -T by MCC ou=People dc=example dc=com
usage: ns-slapd db2index -D configdir -n backend-instance-name [-d debuglevel] {-t attributetype}* {-T VLV Search Name}*
}}}


There are 2 issues.
{{{
1. '=' is accidentally added to "userRoot"
2. "by MCC ou=People dc=example dc=com" is not passed as one string, but as separate words.
}}}

Comment 1 Noriko Hosoi 2015-08-21 17:02:20 UTC

Justification: since CLI db2index is not usable, we should fix it.

Comment 2 Viktor Ashirov 2015-08-22 16:00:35 UTC

*** Bug 1255850 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 5 Noriko Hosoi 2015-08-26 01:29:50 UTC

Steps to verify:
1. sh -x db2index -Z YOURID -n userRoot -t cn
If it does not fail with "userRoot=", one bug is verified.
+ /usr/sbin/ns-slapd db2index -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-YOURID -n userRoot=

2. Run following CLIs with args including white spaces.  For instance, most of them takes "-s SUFFIX", where SUFFIX could be "dc=example, dc=com".  Or directory name could be 'dir with spaces".
  /usr/sbin/db2index
  /usr/sbin/bak2db
  /usr/sbin/db2bak
  /usr/sbin/db2index
  /usr/sbin/db2ldif
  /usr/sbin/ldif2db
  /usr/sbin/vlvindex
If no syntax error is returned, the fix is verified.
