Current objectclass updates in a form of "replace" update instruction dependent on exact match of the old object class specification in the update instruction and the real value in LDAP. However, this approach is very error prone as object class definition can easily differ as for example because of unexpected X-ORIGIN value. Such objectclass update failures may lead to serious malfunctions later. When comparing the objectclasses, make sure we normalize them both before we compare them to mitigate these kinds of errors. python-ldap's objectclass model can be utilized to do the normalization part. One objectclass update instruction was changed to do a replace of an objectclass separately from add update instruction so that we really only replace what's stored in LDAP. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2440
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.
