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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2016:2511 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE realmd bug fix and enhancement update 2016-11-03 14:14:00 UTC

Description Patrik Kis 2015-08-31 13:28:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
Not sure if this is adlci or realmd issue, but I have an impression that adcli does not fully support this option. So either it should be implemented/fixed in adcli or prevent realmd to use predeficed computer-ou and adcli for join.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
adcli-0.7.5-4.el7
realmd-0.16.1-3.el7
but the old realmd-0.14.6-6.el7 has this issue too

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
echo -n <password> | adcli join --verbose --domain <ad_domain> --domain-realm <AD_REALM> --domain-controller <ad_ip> --login-type user --login-user <login_user> --computer-ou OU=<OU> --stdin-password

Actual results:

Either

 ! Couldn't lookup computer container: 000020D6: SvcErr: DSID-031007DB, problem 5012 (DIR_ERROR), data 0

adcli: joining domain ad.baseos.qe failed: Couldn't lookup computer container: 000020D6: SvcErr: DSID-031007DB, problem 5012 (DIR_ERROR), data 

if the computer record does not exist in AD at all, or if it exists then the following error is displayed:

adcli: joining domain <ad_domain> failed: The computer account <machine_hostname> already exists, but is not in the desired organizational unit.
Comment 2 Patrik Kis 2015-08-31 13:32:10 UTC 
NOTE, that in realmd-0.16.1-3.el7 adcli become the default membership software so this issue might be more visible.
Changing the target release to RHEL-7.2, but leave the decision to fix/postpone to devel as the issue is not that critical and have a en easy workaround (--membership-software=samba).
Comment 5 Stef Walter 2015-09-07 11:09:21 UTC 
The adcli command line is incorrect. The adcli documentation states:

       -O, --domain-ou=OU=xxx
           The full distinguished name of the OU in which to create the computer
           account. If not specified then the computer account will be
           created in a default location.

In other words, an argument like OU=TestOU is an incomplete OU. If you are driving adcli directly, please specify the full OU, like this: OU=TestOU,DC=example,DC=com
Comment 6 Stef Walter 2015-09-07 11:14:20 UTC 
So workaround for this is to specify a full DN to the realm client --computer-ou command.

So I think this is a realmd bug. It should perform the qualification automatically before handing it off to adcli.

Comment 17 lejeczek 2016-05-12 12:57:40 UTC 
it would be nice to have it fixed, more than half a year later and admins still bog down there.
