What were you trying to do that didn't work?
The memory usage of the LDAP server in an IPA deployment goes high enough to trigger the OOM killer.
The customer has to restart the LDAP server on a daily basis to prevent the OOM killer to kick in.
On a system with 64 GB of memory and 8 GB of swap, the LDAP server would allocate more 50 GB.
What is the impact of this issue to you?
High impact since IPA admins need to check the memory usage and restart the LDAP server frequently.
Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:
