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 of problem:
It is possible to delete the instance 'slapd-standalone' with remove-ds.pl tool, while specifying wrong prefix 'anyprefix-standalone'.

Version-Release number of selected component:
389-ds-base-1.3.5.10-5.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install an instance with a name 'standalone'
2. Run remove-ds.pl tool to remove it, but specify a wrong prefix instead of 'slapd'
$ remove-ds.pl -i 'anyprefix-standalone'

Actual results:
Instance anyprefix-standalone removed.

Expected results:
The following errors occurred during removal:
Error: could not find directory server configuration directory 'anyprefix-standalone'.  Error: No such file or directory
Error: could not remove directory server standalone

Additional info:
/usr/sbin/remove-ds.pl contains the next line (50):
my ($slapd, $inst) = split(/-/, $instname, 2);

So it doesn't check that before '-' is 'slapd' prefix and then it just splits that part.

Hi Simon,

Since remove-ds.pl is part of 389-ds-base, updating the Product and Component...

And you are very welcome to provide a git patch since you've already figured how to fix it. ;)  I'll review it and push it for you!

Thank you!!
