Learn about new system requirements, important updates and new features, known issues, and deprecated functionality implemented in Directory Server 12.2.

9.1. Important updates and new features

Learn about new features and important updates in Red Hat Directory Server 12.2.

The dsconf utility can now set timeout for tasks

Previously, if a task took longer than four minutes, dsconf returned the following message:

DEBUG: The backup create task has failed with the error code: (None)
...

With this enhancement, you can set the required timeout for the task by using the --timeout option. The timeout does not stop the task, however it stops the dsconf utility from waiting for the task result.

(BZ#1993124)

You can now import and export certificates using the web console

Previously, you could only import a certificate from a file on the server filesystem using the web console. With this release, you can also import a file by copy-pasting a base64-encoded certificate. Additionally, you can export certificate authority and server certificates.

Directory Server can import LDIF files only from /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/ldif/

Since RHEL 8.3, Red Hat Directory Server (RHDS) uses its own private directories and the PrivateTmp systemd directive is enabled by default for the LDAP services. As a result, RHDS can only import LDIF files from the /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/ldif/ directory. If the LDIF file is stored in a different directory, such as /var/tmp, /tmp, or /root, the import fails with an error similar to the following:

Could not open LDIF file "/tmp/example.ldif", errno 2 (No such file or directory)

To work around this problem, complete the following steps:

  1. Move the LDIF file to the /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/ldif/ directory:

    # mv /tmp/example.ldif /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name__/ldif/
  2. Set permissions that allow the dirsrv user to read the file:

    # chown dirsrv /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/ldif/example.ldif
  3. Restore the SELinux context:

    # restorecon -Rv /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/ldif/

For more information, see the solution article LDAP Service cannot access files under the host’s /tmp and /var/tmp directories.

(BZ#2075525)

Access log displays an error message during Directory Server installation in FIPS mode

When you install Directory Server in the FIPS mode, the access log file displays the following error message:

[time_stamp]
- WARN - slapd_do_all_nss_ssl_init - ERROR: TLS is not enabled, and the
machine is in FIPS mode. Some functionality won't work correctly (for
example, users with PBKDF2_SHA256 password scheme won't be able to log
in). It's highly advisable to enable TLS on this instance.

Such behavior happens because at first, Directory Server finds that TLS is not initialized and logs the error message. However, later when the dscreate utility completes TLS initialization and enables security, the error message is no longer present.

(BZ#2153668)
