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.

Fixed In Version: 389-ds-base-1.2.11.15-84.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
In FIPS mode, the "slapd_pk11_getInternalKeySlot()" function is now used to retrieve the key slot for a token The Red Hat Directory Server previously tried to retrieve the key slot from a fixed token name, when FIPS mode was enabled on the security database. However, the token name can change. If the key slot is not found, Directory Server is unable to decode the replication manager's password and replication sessions fail. To fix the problem, the "slapd_pk11_getInternalKeySlot()" function now uses FIPS mode to retrieve the current key slot. As a result, replication sessions using *SSL* or *STTARTTLS* no longer fail in the described situation.

Description Jean Figarella 2016-07-01 15:46:42 UTC 
Description of problem:

After turning fips mode true, on the dirsrv nss, replication stops working, getting error like: 

NSMMReplicationPlugin - agmt="cn=ReplAgrmt_ds-clone1" (ds-clone1:636): Decoding of the credentials failed. 


Replication stops working only when fips mode is set to true

How reproducible:
Looks like this only affects if replication has been setup and confirmed working before fips mode is turn on.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. modutil -dbdir . -fips true
2. service dirsrv restart ds-<name>
3.

Actual results:

Comment 2 Jean Figarella 2016-07-01 17:46:41 UTC 
I got around the issue by refreshing the password via an ldapmodify.

Example:

dn: cn=ReplAgrmt_name,cn=replica,cn=dc\3Dca-33,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsDS5ReplicaCredentials
nsDS5ReplicaCredentials: passwordgoeshere
