[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#437799: slapd: ldapmodify wont work with NisNetgroupTriple

[Falk Siemonsmeier]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.30-5 2.2.23-8
Severity: normal

when using ldapmodify to change a netgroup in ldap I get
modifying entry "cn=sc_trusted,ou=netgroups,dc=mpibp-frankfurt,dc=mpg,dc=de"
ldap_modify: Inappropriate matching (18)
        additional info: modify/add: nisNetgroupTriple: no equality matching rule

There isnt a EQUALITY statement in the schema file. The solution is in the moment
delete the hole entry, and add it again. One solution is to change the complete
schema to
attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.14 NAME 'nisNetgroupTriple'
         DESC 'Netgroup triple'
         EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
         SUBSTR caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch
         SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 )

but this of course makes problems when you have already netgroups
in your ldap with the other syntax.

Falk
