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 2012-02-08 22:37:54 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/12

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755119

{{{
Description of problem:
There appears to be a race failing when the DNA Plugin attempts to make a uid
range replication request backed by gssapi.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
389-ds-base-libs-1.2.10-0.5.a5.fc15.x86_64
389-ds-base-1.2.10-0.5.a5.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install IPA Server (ipa-server-install)
2. Prepare Replica (ipa-replica-prepare replica-hostname)
3. Transfer resulting replica-hostname.gpg
4. Install Replica (ipa-replica-install replica-hostname.gpg)
5. kinit admin
6. Attempt to create new user (ipa user-add test)

Actual results:
ipa: ERROR: Operations error: Allocation of a new value for range cn=posix
ids,cn=distributed numeric assignment plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config failed!
Unable to proceed.

Expected results:
Expected new user to be added and range to be transferred.

Please add steps to reproduce/verify with just RHDS

> Please add steps to reproduce/verify with just RHDS

Do a 2 master replication WAN test with both servers set up to do DNA and range requests - might be able to use the existing DNA test suite, just using WAN replication

Tested DNA plugin with ranges o LAN. I didn't see any error messages. Hence marking the bug as verified.
