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.

Doc Text:
Previously, when gradually upgrading from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 to 7.4 version with the IdM installed, the IdM web user interface (WebUI) failed. To fix this bug, the IdM updater has been changed to automatically add the Directory Server (DS) whoami plug-in in case it is missing. As a result, the WebUI now works as expected.

1) Verified that IPA-upgrade is successful using linear upgrade path from RHEL 70z > 71z > 72z > 73z > 74update2.

2) Also verified that IP servers upgraded from versions with 389 DS prior to 1.3.3.0 doesn't have whomai plugin enabled, are upgraded successfully.

ldapsearch -xLLL -D 'cn=Directory Manager' -w 'Secret123' -b 'cn=whoami,cn=plugins,cn=config'
dn: cn=whoami,cn=plugins,cn=config
cn: whoami

-7.2.z > 7.4update2
-7.1.z > 7.4update2
-7.0 > 7.4update2 (FAILS-Known issue BZ1482776)
