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 Nathan Kinder 2011-08-31 14:59:37 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #722292 +++

Description of problem:

Certain entries in DS are not being updated properly over Active Directory agreement when WinSync API plugin is enabled (Using the test plugin code that is provided in winsync-plugin.h).

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

1.2.8.3

How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile and configure a WinSync API plugin (I used the exact example that is in the winsync-plugin.h file)
2. Create sync agreement between 389 and Active Directory, replicating the DS subtree (ou=People,dc=example,dc=com) and the Windows subtree (dc=example,dc=local)
3. In AD create an Test OU under dc=example,dc=local (ou=Test,dc=example,dc=local)
4. Create two users, one in the dc=example,dc=local subtree (user1), and the other user (user2) in the Test OU (ou=Test,dc=example,dc=local)
5. Run and sync, either incrmental or total and the two entries will be created on the DS side in the ou=People,dc=example,dc=com.
6. In AD, perform updates on both accounts (ie Add an email address or something)
7. Run incremental update.
8. In DS, you should now see that user1 should have the updated attribute, but user2 does not.  

  
Actual results:

User1 should be updated properly, but user2 will not be.  If you have nsslapd-errorlog-level set to 65536, there should be an error similar to this:

[14/Jul/2011:13:21:13 -0700] NSMMReplicationPlugin - failed to rename entry (uid=User2,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com); LDAP error - 32

Expected results:

Both users should be updated properly

Additional info:

The plugin works correctly on version 1.2.5

Here is a more complete log snippet that demonstrates what is logged when we receive the update to the user contained in an OU:

=============================================================================

It appears that the problem is not in the winsync API plug-in itself based off of the logs.  Something in the replication plug-in must be getting tripped up due to the flattening of the DN that is done by the winsync API plug-in.

I have a IPA winsync plugin setup already - want me to take a look at this?

> I have a IPA winsync plugin setup already - want me to take a look at this?

No, I already have this reproduced using the sample winsync API plug-in.

--- Additional comment from nkinder on 2011-08-25 16:34:17 EDT ---

The problem was introduced when we added support for moving an entry in AD, which triggers a rename (MODRDN) in DS.

Since the winsync API plug-in in this test flattens the DN, the windows_update_local_entry() function thinks that the entry was renamed on the AD side.  We then attempt to do a MODRN operation on the DS side against the mapped DN, but that entry doesn't exist since the winsync API plug-in rewrote it when the entry was initially added.

We need some way of detecting a rename operation without interfering with winsync API plug-ins that rewrite the DN of the entry.  We might be able to do this by making windows_update_local_entry() call the registered winsync_get_new_dn_cb callback to determine if the entry has really been renamed or not.

in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=520685&action=diff#a/ldap/servers/plugins/replication/windows_protocol_util.c_sec5

Do you need to use slapi_create_dn_string() instead?  That is, if it is possible that local_pndn, remote_subtree, or local_subtree could contain a character that needs to be DN escaped, you would need to call slapi_create_dn_string() instead - for example, see process_replay_add()

Yes, we should use slapi_create_dn_string() instead of PR_smprintf().  I will make the change and attach a revised patch.

assuming local_pndn, remote_subtree, and local_subtree have no DN special characters, this is fine

This bug and the two patches have been rolled into the 389-ds-base package - we are not going to have a separate ds-replication package in RHEL 6.2.  see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739196

    Bug 722292 - (cov#11030) Leak of mapped_sdn in winsync rename code
    
    The previous fix for bug 722292 introduced a memory leak of the
    mapped DN used to detect entry renames.  This ensures that we
    free the mapped DN.
