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 Jason Montleon 2012-08-15 14:11:20 UTC
Description of problem:
If portreserve is installed Red Hat Directory Server can not bind to port 636.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm -qa | grep -e redhat-ds -e 389 -e portreserve | sort
389-admin-1.1.25-1.el6.x86_64
389-admin-console-1.1.8-1.el6.noarch

redhat-ds-console-9.0.0-1.el6.noarch
redhat-ds-console-doc-9.0.0-1.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install something that now requires portreserve (openldap, bind, dhcp, rsyslog, vsftpd, quota, etc.)
2. Install RHDS 9
3. Try to start the dirsrv service
  
Actual results:
[root@ldap02 ~]# service dirsrv start
Starting dirsrv: 
    userdev...[15/Aug/2012:10:05:34 -0400] createprlistensockets - PR_Bind() on All Interfaces port 636 failed: Netscape Portable Runtime error -5982 (Local Network address is in use.)
                                                           [FAILED]
  *** Warning: 1 instance(s) failed to start


Expected results:
service dirsrv start
Starting dirsrv: 
    userdev...                                             [  OK  ]

Additional info:
Stopping and disabling portreserve fixes the problem. This is especially bad because it looks like portreserve was only just recently added as a dependency for several packages (790682, 790683, 790684, 790686, 790687, 790690), it is installed enabled by default, and then unexpectedly breaks RHDS on a reboot or service restart where it has been running fine for several months.

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2012-08-15 15:58:00 UTC
What do these commands say?:

ls -u /etc/portreserve/
cat /etc/portreserve/*

Comment 3 Jason Montleon 2012-08-15 16:09:35 UTC
[root@ldap02 ~]# ls -u /etc/portreserve/
slapd
[root@ldap02 ~]# cat /etc/portreserve/*
ldaps

which rpm tells me is owned by openldap-servers, so I guess this comes down to the combination. Still prior to the updates pulling in portreserve having openldap-servers installed was no issue (and it did one or two convenient things, set up ldap user for example)

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2012-08-16 15:58:37 UTC
openldap bug ID added to 'see also'.

Options are:
1. Revert the openldap change
2. Have openldap and RHDS conflict with one another
3. Modify portreserve to allow applications to have overlapping ports, and add a portreserve configuration file to RHDS

Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2012-09-07 05:25:38 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 6 Douglas Furlong 2013-05-16 13:21:44 UTC
Hi, 

Could I confirm the proposed solution that was to be included in the current release of RHEL?

Personally, I think I would go with Option 3 (modify portreserve), as opposed to option 2.

Comment 10 Tim Waugh 2016-01-12 14:34:19 UTC
The solution involves two parts:
1. portreserve allowing overlapping ports
2. RHDS ships an /etc/portreserve/rhds file containing 'ldaps'

This bug tracks part 1. Please track part 2 separately.

Comment 12 Tim Waugh 2016-01-12 14:43:09 UTC
Note, RHDS will also need to call 'portrelease rhds' on start-up before binding ports.
