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-1.2.11.12-1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Using the Managed Entry feature in conjunction with other plugins such as DNA, Member Of, and Auto Member, then performing an delete operation on an entry that is being managed by the Managed Entry plugin. Consequence: The "manager" managed entry is deleted, but the "managed" entry is not. Fix: Improve deadlock retry handling so that both the "manager" and the "managed" entry are deleted by the same database operation. Result: Deleting a managed entry will delete both the "manager" and the "managed" entry.

Description Nathan Kinder 2012-06-08 21:37:08 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/387

I don't believe this is related to ticket #358

TET managedentry tests pass - IPA server and replica install work

But the http://freeipa.org/page/Testing tests/test_xmlrpc/test_user_plugin.py fails sometimes.  The test may pass, but it will leave the group entry behind.  During test cleanup, it is supposed to remove the user entries, and the group entry should be removed by mep.  But if this fails, the group entry cannot be deleted directly without first removing the mepManagedEntry objectclass.  Subsequent tests runs will fail due to the presence of this group entry.

I've been able to reproduce this very seldom.  Martin saw this:
 find_entry_internal_uniqueid retry count exceeded; uniqueid = (%s)
which suggests either a mishandled deadlock or a cache problem.

At the very least we need some error reporting from mep_del_post_op - there is currently no error checking or logging for the delete.

Add multi_plugin test suite
This test enables and configures multiple plugins in the style
of ipa.  The stress version of this test will enable the 
TXN_TESTING in the server which will exercise the txn deadlock
and retry code paths in the server.
Tickets covered by this test:
Ticket #345 - db deadlock return should not log error
Ticket #387 - managed entry sometimes doesn't delete the managed entry
Ticket #360 - ldapmodify returns Operations error
Ticket #335 - transaction retries need to be cache aware
