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.

Fixed In Version: 389-ds-base-2.3.4-2.el9
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.Directory Server can now close a client connection if a `bind` operation fails Previously, when a `bind` operation failed, some applications that ignore the `bind` return code could load Director Server with further requests. With the new `nsslapd-close-on-failed-bind` configuration attribute under the `cn=config` entry, the server can close a client connection when the `bind` operation fails. As a result, the server load can be reduced.

Description Renaud Marigny 2021-07-29 14:57:18 UTC 
Description of problem:

Some customers ask for the possibility to close a client connection (from RHDS side) when a BIND is failing. This is to prevent some malformed applications (that ignore BIND return code) to load the server with further requests.

We could for example add a config parameter called  nsslapd-closure-on-bind-failure for this purpose
