RHBA-2011:1290 - ipa-client bug fix update

Synopsis

ipa-client bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated ipa-client package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

IPA (Identity, Policy, Audit) is an integrated solution to provide centrally managed identity, that is, machine, user, virtual machines, groups, and authentication credentials. The ipa-client package provides a tool to enroll a machine to an IPA version 2 server.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, GSSAPI credential delegation was disabled in the curl utility due to a security issue. As a result, applications that rely on delegation did not work properly. This update utilizes a new constructor argument in the xmlrpc-c client API to set the new CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION curl option. This option enables the credential delegation, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#736658)

Users of ipa-client are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.

Solution

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