4.1. 389-ds-base

Updated 389-ds-base packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The 389 Directory Server is an LDAPv3 compliant server. The base packages include the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server and command-line utilities for server administration.
Bug Fixes
BZ#720458
If a server sent a response to an unbind request and the client simply closed the connection, Directory Server 8.2 logged "Netscape Portable Runtime error -5961 (TCP connection reset by peer.)".
BZ#752155
An incorrect SELinux context caused AVC errors in /var/log/audit/audit.log.
BZ#711266
The DS could not restart after a new object class was created which used the entryUSN attribute.
BZ#697663, BZ#700665, BZ#711533, BZ#711241, BZ#726136, BZ#700215
A number of memory leaks and performance errors were fixed.
BZ#712167
The ns-slapd process segfaulted if suffix referrals were enabled.
BZ#711513
A high volume of TCP traffic could cause the slapd process to quit responding to clients.
BZ#714298
Attempting to delete a VLV index caused the server to hang.
BZ#720051
Connections to the DS by an RSA authentication server using simple paged results by default would timeout.
BZ#735217
Running a simple paged search against a subtree with a host-based ACI would hang the server.
BZ#733443
If the target attribute list for an ACI had syntax errors and more than five attributes, the server crashed.
BZ#734267
It was not possible to set account lockout policies after upgrading from RHDS 8.1.
BZ#720452
Adding an entry with an RDN containing a % caused the server to crash.
BZ#709868
Only FIPS-supported ciphers can be used if the server is running in FIPS mode.
BZ#711265
It is possible to disable SSLv3 and only allow TLS.
BZ#713317, BZ#713318
If the changelog was encrypted and the certificate became corrupt, the server crashed.
BZ#733434
If the passwordisglobalpolicy attribute was enabled on a chained server, a secure connection to the master failed.
BZ#714310
If a chained database was replicated, the server could segfault.
BZ#694571
Editing a replication agreement to use SASL/GSS-API failed with GSS-API errors.
BZ#742611
In replication, a msgid may not be sent to the right thread, which caused "Bad parameter to an LDAP routine" errors. This causes failures to propagate up and halt replication.
BZ#701057
Password changes were replicated among masters replication, but not to consumers.
BZ#717066
If an entry was modified on RHDS and the corresponding entry was deleted on the Windows side, the sync operation attempts to use the wrong entry.
BZ#734831
Some changes were not properly synced over to RHDS from Windows.
BZ#726273
RHDS entries were not synced over to Windows if the user's CN had a comma.
BZ#718351
Intensive update loads on master servers could break the cache on the consumer, causing it to crash.
BZ#699458
Syncing a multi-valued attribute could delete all the other instances of that attribute when a new value was added.
BZ#729817
If a synced user subtree on Windows was deleted and then a user password was changed on the RHDS, the DS would crash.
Enhancements
BZ#742382
The nsslapd-idlistscanlimit configuration attribute can be set dynamically, instead of requiring a restart.
BZ#742661
Separate resource limits can be set for paged searches, independent of resource limits for regular searches.
BZ#720459
The sudo schema has been updated.
BZ#739959
A new configuration attribute sets a different list of replicated attributes for a total update versus an incremental update.
BZ#733440
A new configuration option allows the server to be started with an expired certificate.
BZ#720461
New TLS/SSL error messages have been added to the replication error log level.
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated 389-ds-base packages, which resolve these issues and add these enhancements.
Updated 389-ds-base packages that fix multiple bugs are now available.
389 Directory Server is an LDAPv3 compliant server. The base package includes the LDAP server and command-line utilities for server administration.
Bug Fixes
BZ#701554
Password changes did not replicate because the method used to pass the changes to consumer servers was rejected on the consumer. This issue has been corrected, and password changes now replicate as expected.
BZ#701556
Values could be lost when group memberships were synchronized between 389 Directory Server and Active Directory with the Windows Sync feature. The synchronization and modify operations have been altered to prevent this issue, allowing group updates to synchronize with Active Directory.
BZ#701558
The ldclt command-line testing tool crashed during LDAP ADD operations because an LDAP attribute was not set correctly, preventing the creation of entries that did not already exist. This update allows the LDAP ADD to proceed correctly.
BZ#701559
The server crashed if a long running task was started using the cn=tasks,cn=config interface and then the server was shut down before the task completed. This update prevents the server from crashing, but does not gracefully terminate the task, which can leave the server database in an inconsistent state. For example, the fixup-memberof.pl script invokes a tasks to fix up the memberOf attribute in group member entries. If the server is shut down before the task can complete, some entries may not have the correct memberOf values. Users should ensure that tasks are complete before shutting down the server to avoid inconsistency.
BZ#701560
When using the Entry USN feature, deleting an entry caused a memory leak via the entryusn attribute. This update fixes the memory leak.
All 389-ds-base users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which addresses these issues.
