Description Sönke Schwardt-Krummrich univentionstaff 2014-01-09 13:37:24 CET
On a Samba 4 dc there have been s4 connector rejects while deleteing windows computers due to unknown child objects that are located below the windows computer object (in AD).
It turns out that the child objects are objects of local printer shares. They are added in AD if a local printer share is created on that host and the checkbox "im Verzeichnis anzeigen" (← Win XP) is switched on.
The local printer share objects are used for locating printers within the AD domain by windows clients. The checkbox may be turned off permanently by GPO. The objects are removed if the checkbox is turned off later.

Workaround: occuring rejects may be solved by removing the local printer share objects manually via ldbdel

Comment 1 Stephan Hendl 2015-07-10 10:34:25 CEST
Also seen at [Ticket#2015070921000814]:

If one install a Windows terminalserver there will be also an object CN=TermServLicensing as subobject of the terminalserver created. Once one want to delete the terminalserver itself via UMC there will be a reject created since the subobject cannot be deleted (AFAIK the LDAP doesn't know anything about this subobject).

Happened again at 2015071421000439 - bumped version to 4.0, adjusted TM

You have to remove all Subobjects (also happend sfor hyper-v metaobjects for example), then the connector removes the machine object.

See Bug #31090 for a similar case.
Comment 7 Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2017-04-25 19:39:07 CEST
I've adjusted the delete_in_s4 method to support removal of unmapped sub-objects.
Before this the DNs of those objects needed to be whitelisted (Bug #26210) in a "con_subtree_delete_objects" mapping attribute. I've removed that now, too.

Advisroy: univention-s4-connecor.

Wouldn't it be better to use the con_subtree_delete_objects and allow to add values via UCR? This could be logged and the Administrator can expand the UCR variable and we should add some of the objects which are part of the tickets.

Otherwise it could result in a deletion of a complete AD tree for example if a rename fails or the Listener gives wrong values due to a cache problem.
Comment 9 Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2017-05-08 19:49:03 CEST
Ok, googling for these kind of UCS tracebacks I find these RDNs:

========================================================
CN=winhost1-HP Officejet 6700 (Netzwe0023004711                       
CN=TermServLicensing
CN=Windows Virtual Machine                                                      
CN=RouterIdentity                                                               
CN={3cefcc1a-6c7a-4f56-b7c3-951849cdb5f8} 
========================================================

* The first probably is of objectClass=printQueue, added by clicking on "List in the Directory", see https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askperf/2009/05/05/printing-and-active-directory/

* The next three are of objectClass=serviceConnectionPoint (SCP), see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms677638(v=vs.85).aspx . There are other SCPs, like "CN=IASIdentity" and there are also objects of class "serviceAdministrationPoint", so maybe we should allow removal of the parent class "connectionPoint" to catch all of those types.

* Another frequent sub-object object could be "CN=NTFRS Subscriptions", which has objectclass=nTFRSMember.

Ok, I've reverted my changes and implemented the filter based approach.

Comment 11 Felix Botner univentionstaff 2017-06-13 16:48:07 CEST
con_subtree_delete_objects is set for 'dc' objects, we probably want this for 'windowscomputer' to
Comment 12 Felix Botner univentionstaff 2017-06-14 09:48:24 CEST
OK - connector deletes unknown subobjects of objectclass 'objectClass=rIDSet', 
    'objectClass=connectionPoint' or 'objectclass=nTFRSMember' for dc and 
     windowscomputer objects
OK - connector does not delete other unknown subobjects
OK - univention-s4-connector.yaml
