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.

Comment 1 Lukáš Hrázký 2021-09-20 11:16:50 UTC
Hello, if the openldap-servers package is missing from the repositories, it's not a dnf bug, it's up to the opendap maintainers to provide the packages. Reassigning.

Comment 2 Simon Pichugin 2021-09-20 16:43:02 UTC
Hello, the openldap-servers package is missing from the repositories because it was removed in RHEL 8 and it's no longer supported.
The openldap-clients package is still shipped, though, and because of this - it's up to date.

Comment 6 Ding-Yi Chen 2022-04-20 07:31:46 UTC
We are unable to provide further support regarding openldap-servers because it was listed as removed packages [1].

openldap-servers was provided in codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms as a temporary solution, it is not meant to be a permanent, supported one.

That said, we do support following migration path:

- OpenLDAP server to IdM  [2]
- OpenLDAP server to RHDS [3]


Please file a support case in Red Hat Customer Portal [4] should you need support on migration.
