Fixed In Version: 389-ds-base-1.2.11.12-1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Having an entry in DS with the same user/group name as an entry in AD but the entry in AD is out of scope of the Windows sync agreement, either because it was already there, or it was moved. Consequence: The DS entry is deleted. Fix: Allow the user to specify the behavior of out of scope AD entries with the new DS attribute for the Windows sync agreement entry, winSyncMoveAction. If the value is "none", an out of scope AD entry will do nothing to the corresponding DS entry. If the value is "delete", an out of scope AD entry will delete the corresponding DS entry. If the value is "unsync", an out of scope AD entry will be un-synchronized with the corresponding DS entry - changes made to either entry will not be sync'd. The default value is "none" which solves the original problem of deleted entries. Result: By default, the DS entry is not deleted when the corresponding AD entry is out of sync, and the user can specify what behavior to take when the AD entry is out of scope.

Description Rich Megginson 2012-05-03 21:18:28 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/355

see https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2688 for the gory details

Instead of deleting, I think we should just log a warning like

"Could not sync the AD entry %s with the DS entry %s, even though they have the same user id (or group id) %s, because the AD entry is out of scope %s of the windows sync agreement"

deleting perfectly good users is bad

This is not a regression - removing Regression keyword

Comment 12 Milan Kubík 2012-11-22 14:13:33 UTC 
Verification steps:

1. Create DS user, verify sync to AD

$ AddNDSUsr dstestusr
adding new entry uid=dstestusr,ou=people,dc=brq,dc=redhat,dc=com

$ ChkNADUsr dstestusr ; echo $?
0

2. Create AD user, verify sync to DS

$ AddNADUsr adtestusr
adding new entry CN=adtestusr,cn=Users,dc=brq,dc=redhat,dc=com

$ ChkNDSUsr adtestusr ; echo $?
0

3. Move AD user out of scope of synchronization agreement, entry on DS should not be deleted.

$ ldapsearch -h windir -p 389 -D "cn=administrator,cn=users,dc=brq,dc=redhat,dc=com" -w Secret123 -b "dc=brq,dc=redhat,dc=com" cn=adtestusr dn
dn: CN=adtestusr,OU=BadUsers,DC=brq,DC=redhat,DC=com

$ ChkNDSUsr adtestusr ; echo $?
0

4. Remove AD user. Synchronized user on DS should be deleted as well

$ ldapdelete -h windir -p 389 -D "cn=administrator,cn=users,dc=brq,dc=redhat,dc=com" -W CN=adtestusr,OU=BadUsers,DC=brq,DC=redhat,DC=com
$ echo $?
0

$ ChkNDSUsr adtestusr ; echo $?
ldap_search: No such object
ldap_search: matched: ou=people,dc=brq,dc=redhat,dc=com
1

adtestusr entry is deleted. The bug is verified.
