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.
.Directory Server now replaces the virtual attribute `nsRole` with an indexed attribute for managed and filtered roles
Previously, LDAP searches that contained the virtual attribute `nsRole` in the filter were time consuming because that attribute cannot be indexed. With this update, when you perform the `ldapsearch` with virtual attribute `nsRole` in the filter, Directory Server replaces the `nsRole` attribute the following way:
* For managed roles, the `nsRole` attribute is replaced with the `nsRoleDN` attribute.
* For filtered roles, the `nsRole` attribute is replaced with the `nsRoleFilter` attribute.
As a result, response time for search with the `nsRole` attribute improves because the search becomes indexed.
Note that this update does not apply to nested roles.
Description of problem:
'nsrole' is a virtual attribute and is not indexed. With a poorly selective filter like below the search may be not indexed
"(&(nsrole=cn=managed_role,cn=suffix)(objectclass=posixAccount)))"
The RFE is to rewrite the filter component containing 'nsrole' attribute type and assertion that are managed roles and filter roles
