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: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.Directory Server no longer rejects wildcards in the `rootdn-allow-ip` and `rootdn-deny-ip` parameters Previously, when an administrator tried to set a wildcard in the `rootdn-allow-ip` or `rootdn-deny-ip` parameters in the `cn=RootDN Access Control Plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config` entry, Directory Server rejected the value. With this update, you can use wildcards when specifying allowed or denied IP addresses in the mentioned parameters.

Description mreynolds 2020-02-26 15:08:59 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://pagure.io/389-ds-base/issue/50800

#### Issue Description
Attempting to use a wildcard in the rootdn-allow-ip attribute of the rootdn_access plugin causes the server to fail to start:

~~~~
ERR - rootdn-access-control-plugin - rootdn_load_config - IP address contains invalid characters (127.*), skipping
ERR - rootdn-access-control-plugin - rootdn_init - Unable to load plug-in configuration
ERR - plugin_setup - Init function "rootdn_init" for "RootDN Access Control" plugin in library "librootdn-access-plugin" failed
ERR - load_plugin_entry - Unable to load plugin "cn=RootDN Access Control,cn=plugins,cn=config"
~~~~

The use of wildcards is [documented](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/10/html/configuration_command_and_file_reference/rootdn_plug_in_attributes#rootdn-allow-ip) and was allowed when the plugin was originally added, but the changes in #48027 unintentionally broke the parsing of values containing a `*`.
