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.

Summary:	(un)register/migration/remove may fail if there is no suffix on 'userRoot' backend

Fixed In Version:	389-ds-base-1.3.6.1-3.el7	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Cause: If suffix is missing in the default backend entry userRoot, it wipes out the valid suffix defined in the existing backend. Consequence: The register/unregister script loses the valid suffix info and fails. Fix: If the default backend userRoot does not have the suffix, it correctly ignores the empty suffix. Result: The register/unregister script works as expected even if the default backend entry is not configured properly.	Story Points:	---

Description Noriko Hosoi 2016-11-02 19:06:50 UTC

Description of problem:


DSUtil.pm:createInfFromConfig is used to create an info structure describing a server.

One of mapped field is the 'Suffix' that is the 'nsslapd-suffix' value of backend instance (one level entries below 'cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config')

The loop that sets the 'Suffix' may fail if there is no suffix over 'userRoot'. In that case the result varies according to the order of recorded backends.

For example:

dn: cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
dn: cn=<backend_name_different_than_userRoot>,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
dn: cn=monitor,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config

will result with an undefined value for 'Suffix' because without 'userRoot' the 'Suffix' will take the last (cn=monitor) value of 'nsslapd-suffix'

1. Created dirsrv instance with multiple suffixes -
[0 root@qeos-216 export]# ldapsearch -x -p 52044 -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 -b "" -s base + |grep -i nsBackendSuffix
nsBackendSuffix: userRoot:dc=example,dc=com
nsBackendSuffix: testdb:dc=test,dc=com
nsBackendSuffix: test1db:dc=test1,dc=com
nsBackendSuffix: test2db:dc=test2,dc=com

2. Removed userRoot db -
[0 root@qeos-216 export]# ldapdelete -rx -p 52044 -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 "cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config"

[0 root@qeos-216 export]# ldapsearch -x -p 52044 -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 -b "" -s base + |grep -i nsBackendSuffix
nsBackendSuffix: testdb:dc=test,dc=com
nsBackendSuffix: test1db:dc=test1,dc=com
nsBackendSuffix: test2db:dc=test2,dc=com

3. Try removing the instance.
[0 root@qeos-216 export]# remove-ds.pl -f -a -i slapd-test
Instance slapd-test removed.

4. create another instance with multiple suffixes and delete userRoot and try register with admin server.

[0 root@qeos-216 export]# ldapsearch -x -p 1389 -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 -b "" -s base + |grep -i nsBackendSuffix
