Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory (none)

Topic

A new libunistring package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

This enhancement update adds the libunistring package to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The libunistring package has been added as a dependency for the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) in order to process internationalized HBAC rules on FreeIPA servers. (BZ#726463)
