Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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.

Doc Text:	Cause: Previously, replication errors logged in the errors log would contain very little or incorrect information. Negative error code numbers were being ignored due to a limitation in the old mozldap sdk. The new openldap sdk provides more information for negative error return codes. Consequence: Replication errors were incorrect or misleading. Fix: Improve the handling of negative error codes. Result: With this update, the replication errors are more useful in helping diagnose and fix problems.	Story Points:	---

Description Nathan Kinder 2012-06-08 21:38:14 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/388

When setting the value for the replication status attributes in replication agreements, we only call ldap_err2string() if the return code is greater than 0.  If the return code is negative, we hard code the error description as "System error".

When using OpenLDAP client libraries, you can get a textual error string for negative LDAP return codes, as demonstrated by this test program output:

--------------------------------------------
[nkinder@localhost test]$ ./ldaperr 
rc: -1, "Can't contact LDAP server"
rc: -2, "Local error"
rc: -3, "Encoding error"
rc: -4, "Decoding error"
rc: -5, "Timed out"
rc: -6, "Unknown authentication method"
rc: -7, "Bad search filter"
rc: -8, "User cancelled operation"
rc: -9, "Bad parameter to an ldap routine"
rc: -10, "Out of memory"
rc: -11, "Connect error"
rc: -12, "Not Supported"
rc: -13, "Control not found"
rc: -14, "No results returned"
rc: -15, "More results to return"
rc: -16, "Client Loop"
rc: -17, "Referral Limit Exceeded"
--------------------------------------------

I believe we avoid calling ldap_err2string() for negative return codes due to a limitation in MozLDAP.  We should get the more informative error strings for negative return codes when using OpenLDAP.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 06:18:01 UTC

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 23:00:36 UTC

This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
