#47396 crash on tombstone modrdn
Closed: wontfix None Opened 10 years ago by nkinder.

The behaviour of modrdn for a tombstone entry is very inconsistent. Modrdn has two options: deleteoldrdn and newsuperior and the result is different for different combinations:

deleteoldrdn: 1 NO newsuperior: ==> err=53 (unwilling to perform)
deleteoldrdn: 1 newsuperior: <dn> ==> err=53 (unwilling to perform)
deleteoldrdn: 0 NO newsuperior ==> err=1 (operations error)
deleteoldrdn: 0 newsuperior: <dn> ==> CRASH

The crash has the side effect, that the entry is no longer accessable after restart, an attempt to repeat the operation gives err=32 (no such object)

What's next:
1] Define the expected behaviour, consistent to all combinations. In my opinion tombstone entries are internal and direct modifications should be prevented, so err=53 seems appropriate.
2] Implement 1]
3] Investigate if there is a proper way to resurrect tombstones by a client
