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 Marc Sauton 2016-11-02 00:59:55 UTC
Description of problem:

this is a copy of the RHEL 6 bz 1202062, that was temporarily solved with 389-ds-base-1.2.11.15-60.el6. in the errata
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2015-1326.html

the problem is the issue recently appeared again with 389-ds-base-1.2.11 on RHEL 6, not clear exactly when, but the upstream ticket 48133 for 389-ds-base-1.3.4 had been re-opened:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/48133#comment:7

although the recent problem was reported on RHEL 6 via the salesforce case number 01709084, this bugzilla report is to track the issue for RHEL 7.

there is a workaround:
rename those conflict entries with the incorrect DN as "dummy" entries and then delete them.
the difficulty is there has been a lot of such replication conflict entries that cannot be deleted in the salesforce case number 01709084, with 2xMMR 389-ds-base-1.2.11.15-74.el6
the workaround has been scripted, but new conflicts appears again fast, in the thousands in a few hours, depending on the LDAP traffic, the case 01709084 attachment 260 [details]-case_01709084.zip has some samples.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

was reported on RHEL 6 with 389-ds-base-1.2.11.15-74.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
N/A
but it is though the many LDAP clients used in the customer's environment do create some interesting situations as there had been other problems:
- replication halt on modrdn conflict, err=53, bz 1382784 (fixed in RHEL 7, no RHEL6 backport possible)
- customer application not aware of replication conflict entries with nuuniqueid creating other conflicts and failures on customer site, long term rfe with bz 747701 to store replication conflicts in dedicated suffix


Steps to Reproduce:
we do not exactly know how those entries appeared
from upstream ticket 48133 comment 7 at https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/48133#comment:7

1. create a normal tombstone
2. db2ldif -r
3. edit ldif and remove oc tombstone and parentuniqueid from the entry
4. ldif2db


Actual results:

operation error when trying to delete the "conflicts":

[13/Oct/2016:18:55:38 -0300] conn=2632557 op=1 DEL dn="nsuniqueid=65f2c7a1-580111e6-9ad19ecf-c04433d2,ou=xxxxx,dc=xxxxx,dc=xxxx,dc=xxx,dc=xx"

replication log:

[13/Oct/2016:18:55:38 -0300] NSMMReplicationPlugin - ruv_add_csn_inprogress: successfully inserted csn 580004700006000a0000 into pending list

Expected results:


Additional info:

a few conflicts samples from the customer in sf 01709084 attachment 260 [details]-case_01709084.zip file nodo02.nsds5ReplConflict.log were for those objects only:
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: shadowAccount

but the ineteresting cn like cn=27355767200 did not appear in any of the collected logs from attachment 260 [details]-case_01709084.zip
