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.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #696407 +++

Description of problem:
The symptom is if an RDN contains upper case characters, and the entry is deleted (== turned into a tombstone entry), the entry cannot be found any more.

Plus these messages are logged in the error log again and again...
[13/Apr/2011:13:13:45 -0700] _entry_set_tombstone_rdn - Failed to convert DN uid=jmcFarla to RDN
[13/Apr/2011:13:13:45 -0700] id2entry - str2entry returned NULL for id 30, string="rdn"

This bug was introduced with the bug fix for the bug 684996:
Bug 684996 - Exported tombstone cannot be imported correctly.

Created attachment 491934 [details]
git patch file (master)

Description: When an entry is turned to be a tombstone, the RDN
part is replaced with this unusual format:
    "nsuniqueid=9a63a581-...-ca8fe9f7,uid=tuser1"
A helper function slapi_rdn_replace_rdn was introduced to support
the replace task, in which function, normalized rdn field "nrdn"
was supposed to have lowered case RDN, but it was not.
This patch fixes it.

Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
