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 of problem:
An upgraded version of 389-ds 1.4.1.6 will raise errors in the logs due to the inability to update passwords to new password-schemes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
389-ds 1.4.1.6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install IDM prior 389-ds 1.4.1.6
2. Create users and passwords
3. Upgrade to 389-ds 1.4.1.6 or later

Actual results:
Warning messages written to /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-<instance>/errors:

WARN - update_pw_encoding - Modify error 19 on entry '<user-dn>'

Expected results:
No warning messages reported

Additional info:
Due to the integration of kerberos into IDM, passwords need to be given in cleartext in order to be updated. As there are only hashes stored in IDM, the update_pw_encoding() mechanism will not be able to update these and raises the warning messages.

The change to do password-schema updates was introduced with this: https://pagure.io/389-ds-base/issue/49421
