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 Rich Megginson 2012-01-13 16:37:43 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/159

Managed Entries needs a method of validating that it is updating the managed entry due to some effected modification, rather than just 'any' modification to the parent object.
Comment 3 mreynolds 2012-03-05 18:21:11 UTC 
Steps to reproduce bug, and verify fix:

[1]  Create the template entry:

dn: cn=UPG Template,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: mepTemplateEntry
cn: UPG Template
mepRDNAttr: cn
mepStaticAttr: objectclass: posixGroup
mepMappedAttr: cn: $uid
mepMappedAttr: gidNumber: $gidNumber
mepMappedAttr: description: User private group for $uid


[3]  Create the group:

     cn=groups,dc=example,dc=com


[3]  Set up mep config

dn: cn=UPG Definition,cn=Managed Entries,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectclass: extensibleObject
cn: UPG Definition
originScope: dc=example,dc=com
originFilter: objectclass=posixAccount
managedBase: cn=groups,dc=example,dc=com
managedTemplate: cn=UPG Template,dc=example,dc=com

[4]  Create a user with objectclass=posixAccount (uid=original, dc=example,dc=com)

[5]  Check the modifytimestamp on the new entry (cn=original, cn=groups, dc=example,dc=com)

[6]  Modify the original entry(uid=original,dc=example,dc=com)- changing the "uidNumber" or any attribute that is not listed in the mep template(e.g. gidNumber or uid).

[7]  The modifytimestamp should not be updated, as the fix is to stop unnecessary changes to mep entries.  Previously any update to the original entry would trigger an update on the managed entry.
