Description Arpit Tolani 2016-03-09 06:45:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
After upgrade to RHEL 7.2, slapd service no longer starts on boot. Doing service slapd start after the system is up, brings it right up.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openldap-servers-2.4.40-8.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Everytime in customer environment. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to this version of openldap.
2. Reboot.
3. Watch the boot process (slapd fails to start).
4. Run systemctl status slapd.service.
  
Actual results:
Does not start.

Expected results:
Worked fine before upgrade.

Additional info:
This is related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=946921

After updating openldap-servers package, /usr/lib/systemd/system/slapd.service file got modified as :

/usr/lib/systemd/system/slapd.service
[Unit]
Description=OpenLDAP Server Daemon
After=syslog.target NetworkManager-wait-online.service	<------

I think the correct solution for this should be to use After=syslog.target network-online.target

Customer tried to change it to network-online.target & it worked.
