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 Simon Pichugin 2023-02-15 22:15:14 UTC 
Issue Description
RFC 4517 #3.3.3 defines the Boolean Attribute with OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7 in the ABNF

Boolean = "TRUE" / "FALSE"
RFC 4517 #3.3.3 refers to RFC 4512 #1.4 for the syntax definition, which further refers to RFC 4234 which defines ABNF as an case insensitive syntax - as does RFC 7405 #1 which enhances RFC 4234 with a case sensitive description.

Package Version and Platform:
RHEL 7.9

Package and version: 389-ds-base-1.3.10.2-16.el7_9.x86_64
Browser firefox

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

To a default installation add the following schema definition
[user@host ~]$ sudo -- cat /etc/dirsrv/slapd-ldap1-dev/schema/99user.ldif
# user schema
################################################################################
dn: cn=schema
#
################################################################################
#
attributetypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.59369.1.1
  NAME 'emailVerified'
  DESC 'User has successfully verified his/her current email'
  SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7
  SINGLE-VALUE
  USAGE userApplications
  X-ORIGIN ('APA-IT defined' 'user defined') )
#
################################################################################
#
objectclasses: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.59369.2.1
  NAME 'apaitIamPerson'
  SUP inetOrgPerson
  AUXILIARY
  MAY (emailVerified)
  X-ORIGIN ('APA-IT defined' 'user defined') )
[user@host ~]$
Create at some path an apaitIamPerson object without our new attribute
Try to run ldapmodify with the following input
[user@host ~]$ cat meins.ldif 
dn: uid=user,ou=users,dc=top
changetype: modify
replace: emailVerified
emailVerified: false
-
[user@host ~]$ 
ds-389 will respond with
ldap_initialize( ldaps://host:636/??base )
replace emailVerified:
	false
modifying entry "uid=user,ou=users,dc=top"
ldap_modify: Invalid syntax (21)
	additional info: emailVerified: value #0 invalid per syntax

Expected results
Boolean values are treated case-insensitive

ldap_initialize( ldaps://host:636/??base )
replace emailVerified:
	false
modifying entry "dn: uid=user,ou=users,dc=top"
modify complete

Additional context
ds-389 is used as user federation storage in our Keycloak (KC) installation configured with vendor typ rhds. KC 19.0.3 sends lowercase bools - at least for the emailVerified user attribute - which are unfortunately rejected.
