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.

Fixed In Version: 389-ds-base-1.2.10.0-1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Using replication, with suffixes that have a space in them (e.g. dc=example, dc=com instead of dc=example,dc=com). Consequence: Directory server error log fills up with errors like this: NSMMReplicationPlugin - repl_set_mtn_referrals: could not set referrals for replica dc=example,dc=com: 32 Fix: Correctly normalize the DN values used for the suffix so the server does not think they are missing (32). Result: Replication does not cause server error log to fill with bogus error messages.

Description Rich Megginson 2012-02-07 15:15:05 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/277

Setting up replication leads to many errors like this:
[01/Feb/2012:20:56:00 -0700] NSMMReplicationPlugin - repl_set_mtn_referrals: could not set referrals for replica dc=example,dc=com: 32
Comment 3 Jenny Severance 2012-02-14 15:12:50 UTC 
Please add steps to reproduce/verify this bug
Comment 4 Rich Megginson 2012-04-16 15:06:47 UTC 
1) set up replication with 2 masters - for the replica root, use an unnormalized suffix i.e. use dc=example, dc=com instead of dc=example,dc=com
2) do some updates to either server - look for errors in the errors log like

Comment 7 Amita Sharma 2012-05-24 15:22:19 UTC 
[root@dhcp201-194 slapd-dhcp201-1942]# grep -i replicaroot /etc/dirsrv/slapd-dhcp201-1942/dse.ldif
nsDS5ReplicaRoot: dc=example,dc=com
nsDS5ReplicaRoot: dc=example,dc=com

> nsDS5ReplicaRoot: dc=example,dc=com

Try this:
1) service dirsrv stop
2) edit the dse.ldif - change these to
nsDS5ReplicaRoot: dc=example, dc=com
nsDS5ReplicaRoot: dc=example, dc=com

That is, add a space after the comma

3) service dirsrv start

Not sure whats happening here..
After restart its again taking it as dc=example,dc=com..
Comment 11 Rich Megginson 2012-05-25 15:04:22 UTC 
Right.  The directory server will normalize the DNs.
Comment 12 Amita Sharma 2012-05-25 15:32:48 UTC 
So I shd mark the bug as VERIFIED?
Still can't see the error mentioned in comment#4.

I don't understand.  You are trying to verify that you _do not_ see those errors any more.  The server was fixed to _not_ log those errors, and to handle replica root DN normalization correctly.  I guess that wasn't clear enough.
Comment 14 Amita Sharma 2012-05-25 16:32:01 UTC 
Marking the bug as VERIFIED.
