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 Ming Davies 2018-04-06 06:48:06 UTC
Description of problem:
The /usr/libexec/openldap/convert-config.sh doesn't take SLAPD_OPTIONS arguments set in the /etc/sysconfig/slapd file.

The load_sysconfig function in the /usr/libexec/openldap/functions calls the parse_config_options in /usr/libexec/openldap/functions with SLAPD_OPTIONS as arguments:

function load_sysconfig()
{
        [ -r "$SLAPD_SYSCONFIG_FILE" ] || return

        . "$SLAPD_SYSCONFIG_FILE"
        [ -n "$SLAPD_OPTIONS" ] && parse_config_options $SLAPD_OPTIONS
}


The parse_config_options uses getopts to parse these arguments and the valid options are:

function parse_config_options()
{
        user=
        config_file=
        config_dir=
        while getopts :u:f:F: opt; do
                case "$opt" in
                u)
                        user="$OPTARG"
                        ;;
                f)
                        config_file="$OPTARG"
                        ;;
                F)
                        config_dir="$OPTARG"
                        ;;
                esac
        done
...
}


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openldap-servers-2.4.40-13.el7

How reproducible:
I can easily reproduce the issue on openldap-servers-2.4.44-5.el7.x86_64.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Specify the SLAPD_OPTIONS in the /etc/sysconfig/slapd file:
  # grep SLAPD_OPTIONS /etc/sysconfig/slapd
SLAPD_OPTIONS="-s 384"
2. Attempt to run the script:
 # /usr/libexec/openldap/convert-config.sh -f /var/openldap/legacy/slapd.conf
usage: convert-config.sh [-f config-file] [-F config-dir]

3.

Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:
The customer's workaround is to add "unset OPTIND" in the function parse_config_options in the /usr/libexec/openldap/functions file, i.e

function parse_config_options()
{
       ...
                esac
        done

        unset OPTIND   <<<<<<<<<<<

        if [ -n "$user" ]; then
                SLAPD_USER="$user"
}

Comment 2 Matus Honek 2018-04-06 11:09:58 UTC
The workaround actually seems to be the correct way to fix this as it is doing a clean up as soon as possible after getopts usage. Setting the bug's status to POST as we seem to have a fix, then.
