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 of problem:
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nss-pam-ldapd-0.7.5-14.el6.x86_64
How reproducible: always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install nss-pam-ldapd
2. examine /etc/init.d/nslcd for a reference to including /etc/sysconfig/nslcd
3.
Actual results:
There is no references to include /etc/sysconfig/nslcd in the /etc/init.d/nslcd init script.
Expected results:
ALL init scritps should check for /etc/sysconfig/SCRIPT_NAME for additional options.
Additional info:
libnss3 by default does not pay attention to wildcard SSL certificates. In order to validate wildcard SSL certs with libnss3 you must be able to set the enviornment variable NSS_USE_SHEXP_IN_CERT_NAME. The appropriate place to set that variable with respec to nslcd would be in /etc/sysconfig/nslcd. However that file doesn't exist, and even if it did it wouldn't be included by the /etc/init.d/nslcd init script.
The following line should be just after the ". /etc/init.d/functions" line:
[ -r /etc/sysconfig/nslcd ] && . /etc/sysconfig/nslcd
Setting environment variables in the init script will not do much good because nslcd clears the environment on start-up. This is intentional because the OpenLDAP library reacts differently depending on which environment variables are set.
