Description

After some Rudder upgrade to 6.1, allowed networks are not available anymore with the following error:

An error occured when trying to get the list of existing allowed networks
Error message was: Error when saving new allowed networks for policy server ${policyServerId.value}

Workaround

You can redo LDAP index (which should have been done during upgrade) on the rudder root server:

$ systemctl stop rudder-slapd
$ su - rudder-slapd -s /bin/sh -c "/opt/rudder/sbin/slapindex" 
$ systemctl start rudder-slapd

on debian, it happens most probably when during the upgrade, slapd.conf file is replaced by packaging file by user (option -y, or y at all questions)
file is replaced, has the index lines, and so the migration script doesn't see any change

we could detect that when update_credentials need to update the credential - in this case we can force the reindex when upgrading to 6.1 from 6.0, but i'm not sure we can detect from which version we upgrade
An idea would be to check the file before upgrade /opt/rudder/etc/openldap/slapd.conf.dpkg-old (on debian) to see if index were there, and if not, reindex (but only if file is not too old)

Also, when credential are changed in update_credentials, we need to restart at least slapd as password used to start it is invalid

Postgresql checks are also invalid:

INFO: Checking PostgreSQL service status............ FAILED

because PGPASSWORD is exported with default password

we can get last modification date with

stat -c '%Y'  /opt/rudder/etc/openldap/slapd.conf.dpkg-old

and then compare to current time. If < 1 hour, then compare content and reindex if necessary

So, the problem in 6.2 seems to be due to changes related to openldap:

- removing indexes on modifyTimestamp helps a lot, on software helps a bit

But even with that, we have a 10x performance lost.
But if we took a web app 6.2 and put it on a 6.1 openldap/vm, it is fast. So something changed with openldap configuration or binaries.
