[Fedora-directory-users] Re: Referential Integrity

[Tim Hartmann]

Well then! Let me give you my experiences so far....

So I attempted to add "memberuid" to the plugin on the master I wanted
to use it on... and that went fine. restarted the server,  I added index
on all my servers for the memberuid attribute, ( I thought I might be
able to get away with indexing on just the master that was going to run
the Referential Integrity plugin, but I figured I'd keep my
configuration as consistent as possible accross both master +
replicas).   I then enabled the plug in on the console, and then ran
"/etc/init.d/dirsrv restart" So far, i felt like I was pretty much just
follow word for work the instructions in the manual. 

For my testing, I have:

3 Directories

dc=dept,dc=school,dc=edu
dc=sub,dc=school,dc=edu
cn=Databaseinfo,dc=school,dc=edu

All three server diffrent clients, though some user name overlap, and a
change in one, shouldn't necessarily be reflected in it's neighbor.

For testing I have a user I want to delete in dept

uid=User,ou=People,dc=dept,dc=school,dc=edu
and he's a member of a Posix style group in depts as (under the base
ou=Group,dc=dept,dc=school,dc=edu_ and the same username (User) is a
member of a similar group under ou=Group,dc=school,dc=edu, I added him
there to see if the plug in would traverse directories or not.

The things I noticed after I restarted and delete the user were this:

First, once I deleted the user, my redhat-idm-console interface went a
little wonky, only rendering part of the screen until I  did a "refresh
all " from  the view menu ,  It also spit out to STDOUT the following
java errors, which it's never done before:

Next, I noticed that /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-instance/referint

Log file did not get created, so I created an empty file, restarted the
directory,  deleted all the data out of "dept" re added it all with an
ldapmodify from a backup ldif i have for testing, and then once again
tried to delete "user"

"User" deleted ok, I saw the same behavior from the GUI interface, and
when I checked the groups that contained user, he hadn't been removed.
Nor had any content been added to the
/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-us72/referint file.

So at the moment, it looks like Referential Integrity isn't working at
all for me....  and i'm a little worried about the Java error, and more
sluggish behavior that my GUI Console is exiting..

Additionally, I didn't see anything in access or error logs, that might
indicate whats going on..

Any thoughts?
