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: openldap-2.4.23-29.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: TLS_CACERTDIR has a prefix which specifies used Mozilla NSS database type (like 'sql:') and TLS operation is requested. Consequence: The certificate database fails to open. Fix: Patch applied, which removes the database type prefix, when checking the existence of the directory with certificate database. Result: The certificate database is successfully opened even if the database type prefix is used.

Description Jan Vcelak 2012-09-14 10:02:38 UTC 
This problem is present in RHEL-6 as well.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openldap-2.4.23-26.el6_3.2.x86_64

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #857373 +++

Description of problem:

MozNSS certificate database in newer SQL format cannot be used. Database prefix is recognized incorrectly.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openldap-2.4.32-2.fc17


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. certutil -d sql:/tmp/certdb -N
2. certutil -d sql:/tmp/certdb -A -n ca -t TC,, -a -i /tmp/ca.pem
3. LDAPTLS_CACERTDIR=sql:/tmp/certdb ldapsearch -x -ZZ -d1
  
Actual results:

...
TLS: certdb config: configDir='sql:/tmp' tokenDescription='ldap(0)' certPrefix='certdb' keyPrefix='certdb' flags=readOnly
TLS: cannot open certdb 'sql:/tmp', error -8018:Unknown PKCS #11 error.
TLS: could not get info about the CA certificate directory sql:/tmp/certdb - error -5950:File not found.
...
ldap_start_tls: Connect error (-11)
        additional info: TLS error -8172:Peer's certificate issuer has been marked as not trusted by the user.


Expected results:

...
TLS: certdb config: configDir='sql:/tmp/certdb' tokenDescription='ldap(0)' certPrefix='' keyPrefix='' flags=readOnly
TLS: using moznss security dir sql:/tmp/certdb prefix .
...


Additional info:

Not a regression, this seems to be a problem since switching to MozNSS.
