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 German Parente 2017-09-19 13:27:49 UTC 
Description of problem:

the title of the bug says it all.

It's required for IPA where we are hitting this often at ipa-replica install
Comment 6 Petr Vobornik 2017-09-19 19:14:08 UTC 
Mark, would following behavior be OK:

on replica installation:
 - set nsslapd-ignore-time-skew to 'on'
 - set it to 'off' on at the end

on re-init:
 -  set it to 'on' on replica
 -  do reinit
 -  set it to 'off' replica

Q: Is it sufficient to set it on only receiving side (replica)
Q: Is there a situation when it might be wrong?

    051786c ds: ignore time skew during initial replication step
    620f965 ipa-replica-manage: implicitly ignore initial time skew in force-sync

ipa-4-5:

    e4cb4a5 ds: ignore time skew during initial replication step
    b83073d ipa-replica-manage: implicitly ignore initial time skew in force-sync
Comment 10 Mohammad Rizwan 2017-11-29 13:01:44 UTC 
version:
ipa-server-4.5.4-4.el7.x86_64


Steps:
1. Install master

2. Install replica

3. Check for "nsslapd-ignore-time-skew" in replica-install log first set to ON and then off.
   $ grep -A 2 "nsslapd-ignore-time-skew:" /var/log/ipareplica-install.log

4. ldapsearch for param "nsslapd-ignore-time-skew" set to off.
   $  ldapsearch -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 -h localhost -b "cn=config" | grep nsslapd-ignore-time-skew:


Expected output:
nsslapd-ignore-time-skew: should be set to ON while installing replica and then OFF

It should remain off by default for dirsrv

Actual result:
