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 Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.Directory Server exports the private key and certificate to a private name space when the service starts Directory Server uses OpenLDAP libraries for outgoing connections, such as replication agreements. Because these libraries cannot access the network security services (NSS) database directly, Directory Server extracts the private key and certificates from the NSS database on instances with TLS encryption support to enable the OpenLDAP libraries to establish encrypted connections. Previously, Directory Server extracted the private key and certificates to the directory set in the `nsslapd-certdir` parameter in the `cn=config` entry (default: `/etc/dirsrv/slapd-<instance_name>/`). As a consequence, Directory Server stored the `Server-Cert-Key.pem` and `Server-Cert.pem` in this directory. With this enhancement, Directory Server extracts the private key and certificate to a private name space that `systemd` mounts to the `/tmp/` directory. As a result, the security has been increased.
