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 Najmuddin Chirammal 2011-05-25 14:48:18 UTC

Description of problem:
The "ldap_uri" section of sssd-ldap man page does not specify the valid formats ( hostname, IPv4 or v6 address and a port number)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):sssd-1.5

How reproducible:
NA

Steps to Reproduce: NA
  
Actual results: NA

Expected results:

ldap_uri section in man sssd-ldap includes it's usage. For example,

The URIs can be a hostname (for example, ldapsrv.example.com), a dotted-decimal IPv4 address (for example, 10.65.210.1), or a colon-separated IPv6 address enclosed in square brackets (for example, [fc00:abc::100]) followed by an optional port number (preceded by a colon) port 389 is used if not specified(for example: ldapsrv.example.com:1024).

Comment 1 Najmuddin Chirammal 2011-05-25 14:51:18 UTC

sorry, I forgot to add ldap:// in the examples

Comment 4 Kaushik Banerjee 2011-09-28 06:18:27 UTC

Valid URI formats are now specified in SSSD-LDAP(5):
<snip>
The format of the URI must match the format defined in RFC 2732:

ldap[s]://<host>[:port]

For explicit IPv6 addresses, <host> must be enclosed in brackets []

example: ldap://[fc00::126:25]:389
</snip>
