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.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1387811 +++

Description of problem:
It's not always safe to have multiple instances of the same database open in the same process. Because of this, the NSS initialization code will automatically combine multiple database opens into a single one. There is another way, however, to open databases: SECMOD_OpenUserDB().

This multiple open combined with a bug in softoken leads to the issue in the slapd in FIPS mode described in bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1352109.

RHEL 7.4 will be rebased to NSS 3.28, which contains this bugfix.

Patch cleans up handling different login states when more than one token is in use

Created attachment 1276709 [details]
Add ecc defaults to nss util

This patch is relative to nss/lib/util . I think this code didn't make it upstream with the rest of the ECC default code.

Created new bug as requested to track the new fix:
