[Kolab-devel] dirsrv: deleting domains from command line fails because of unknown subordinate

[Timotheus Pokorra]

Hello,

I am still in the process of testing my migration from Kolab 2.x.
Deleting existing domains would come in quite handy, so that I can 
repeat the import process several times without reinstalling the whole 
server.

I found something strange, when running this command, on a vanilla Kolab 
3.1:

ldapdelete -v -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w 
"$DirectoryManagerPwd" -r "dc=testpokorra,dc=de"
Output:
ldap_initialize( ldap://localhost )
deleting entry "dc=testpokorra,dc=de"

ldap_delete: Operation not allowed on non-leaf (66)

I found this issue for dirsrv:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=947583#c13
This issue is related to Multimasterreplication (MMR), and is already 
fixed in the dirsrv version installed with Kolab 3.1.
But this command mentioned in the bug comment shows that there are more 
subordinates than ldapsearch shows:

ldapsearch -x -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w 
"$DirectoryManagerPwd" -b "dc=testpokorra,dc=de" 
"(|(objectclass=*)(objectclass=nstombstone))"  numsubordinates 
tombstoneNumSubordinates hassubordinates nsds5ReplConflict
output:
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=testpokorra,dc=de> with scope subtree
# filter: (|(objectclass=*)(objectclass=nstombstone))
# requesting: numsubordinates tombstoneNumSubordinates hassubordinates 
nsds5ReplConflict
#

# testpokorra.de
dn: dc=testpokorra,dc=de
numsubordinates: 1
hassubordinates: TRUE

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1

Now, counting the subordinates on a fresh domain, also shows 7, but 
ldapsearch only shows 6 children:
bash-4.1# ldapsearch -x -h localhost -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w 
"$DirectoryManagerPwd" -b "dc=test2,dc=pokorra,dc=de" 
"(|(objectclass=*)(objectclass=nstombstone))"  numsubordinates 
tombstoneNumSubordinates hassubordinates nsds5ReplConflict
# extended LDIF

# filter: (|(objectclass=*)(objectclass=nstombstone))
# requesting: numsubordinates tombstoneNumSubordinates hassubordinates 
nsds5ReplConflict
#

# test2.pokorra.de
dn: dc=test2,dc=pokorra,dc=de
numsubordinates: 7
hassubordinates: TRUE

# Directory Administrators, test2.pokorra.de
dn: cn=Directory Administrators,dc=test2,dc=pokorra,dc=de
numsubordinates: 0
hassubordinates: FALSE

# Groups, test2.pokorra.de
dn: ou=Groups,dc=test2,dc=pokorra,dc=de
numsubordinates: 0
hassubordinates: FALSE

# People, test2.pokorra.de
dn: ou=People,dc=test2,dc=pokorra,dc=de
numsubordinates: 0
hassubordinates: FALSE

# Special Users, test2.pokorra.de
dn: ou=Special Users,dc=test2,dc=pokorra,dc=de
numsubordinates: 0
hassubordinates: FALSE

# Resources, test2.pokorra.de
dn: ou=Resources,dc=test2,dc=pokorra,dc=de
numsubordinates: 0
hassubordinates: FALSE

# Shared Folders, test2.pokorra.de
dn: ou=Shared Folders,dc=test2,dc=pokorra,dc=de
numsubordinates: 0
hassubordinates: FALSE

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 8
# numEntries: 7

Does anyone have an idea where the extra subordinate comes from, and how 
to delete it?

Thanks,
