RHBA-2011:0866 - redhat-ds-base bug fix update

Synopsis

redhat-ds-base bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated redhat-ds-base package that fixes a number of bugs is now available for Red Hat Directory Server 8.

Description

Red Hat Directory Server is an LDAPv3-compliant directory server. The redhat-ds-base package includes the LDAP server and command line utilities for server administration.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • If the client specified the "sizelimit" or "timelimit" option with the search request, the specified limit was not honored by the Directory Manager. This problem has been fixed so that the limit is now honored. (BZ#606920)

  • When the proxy authentication was used, the proxy user was unable to change the "userPassword" attribute of another user, although the proxy user had sufficient rights to do so. This update has fixed the problem so that the proxy user is now able to change the attribute. (BZ#520151)

  • Previously, disabling the use of SSLv3 with the FIPS Mode on was not supported so that Red Hat Directory Server had no way to explicitly disallow the use of SSLv3 and only use TLSv1 after the FIPS mode was enabled. This update adds the necessary support for disabling SSLv3 with the FIPS Mode on and thus fixes the problem. (BZ#707015)

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated redhat-ds-base package, which fixes these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory only contains the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.
