RHBA-2012:0155 - openldap bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

openldap bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated openldap packages that fix several bugs and add an enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

OpenLDAP is an open source suite of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) applications and development tools. LDAP is a set of protocols for accessing directory services (usually phone book style information, but other information is possible) over the Internet, similar to the way DNS (Domain Name System) information is propagated over the Internet. The openldap package contains configuration files, libraries, and documentation for OpenLDAP.

These updated openldap packages include numerous bug fixes and enhancements. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are directed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 Technical Notes for information on the most significant of these changes:

https://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/5.8_Technical_Notes/openldap.html#RHBA-2012-0155

All users of openldap are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which provide numerous bug fixes and enhancements.
