The manager LDAP attribute is a dn pointing inside the user container. When passed on the command it is typically a bare user uid. The search filter will only succeed if the bare uid is converted to a full dn because that is what is stored in the value for the manager attribute. The search failure is solved by calling _normalize_manager() which does the conversion to a dn (if not already a dn). It feels like this type of conversion should be performed in the pre callback which allows one to modify the filter. But when the pre callback is invoked it's complex string with the manager attribute already inserted. This is because the LDAPSearch.execute() method processes the options dict and constructs a filter component for each key/value in the options dict prior to invoking the pre callback. If we wanted to modify the manager value in the filter in the pre callback we would have to decompose the filter string, perform dn checking and then reassemble the filter. It's much cleaner to perform the dn operations on the manager value before it gets embedded into what otherwise might be a very complex filter. This is the reason why the normalization is perfored in the execute method as opposed to the pre callback. Other classes do similar things in their execute methods as opposed to their callbacks's, selinuxusermap_find is one example. Patch also introduces new unit test to verify. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2264 |

IPA Server
What is it?
-----------
For efficiency, compliance and risk mitigation, organizations need to
centrally manage and correlate vital security information including:
* Identity (machine, user, virtual machines, groups, authentication
credentials)
* Policy (configuration settings, access control information)
* Audit (events, logs, analysis thereof)
Since these are not new problems. there exist many approaches and
products focused on addressing them. However, these tend to have the
following weaknesses:
* Focus on solving identity management across the enterprise has meant
less focus on policy and audit.
* Vendor focus on Web identity management problems has meant less well
developed solutions for central management of the Linux and Unix
world's vital security info. Organizations are forced to maintain
a hodgepodge of internal and proprietary solutions at high TCO.
* Proprietary security products don't easily provide access to the
vital security information they collect or manage. This makes it
difficult to synchronize and analyze effectively.
