abstract
Novell Identity Manager Driver for Linux and UNIX 3.5.1 Patch 3. This is for the Bi-directional driver, not the Fanout driver.
details
Overview: This is a patch for the Bi-directional Linux/Unix driver that ships with Novell Identity Manager 3.5.1
System Requirements: Novell Identity Manager 3.5.1 and the Bi-directional Linux/Unix driver that ships with it.
Installation Instructions
-------------------------
1. If you have already installed the driver and have customized the shell scripts, make a backup and restore after installation.
(Note: review the shell scripts installed by this field patch for changes)
2. Install the driver shim and follow the installation prompts:
sh
3. Start the driver and driver shim
/etc/init.d/nxdrvd start
Technical Support Information:
Current Fixes:
- Fixed installation error on RedHat EL5 with new "tail" arguments.
- Fixed potential issue with data not correctly passed back to driver shim from scripts.
- Fixed two memory leaks involved with publishing.
- Added support for additional shadow password crypt methods as defined by the Solaris /etc/security/policy.conf.
- Fixed race condition that can occur when two drivers are configured for a connected system, resulting in both shims incorrectly instantiated.
- Fixed parsing error with schema attributes and classes that are quoted.
- Corrected the creation of instance documents to contain attr elements instead of add-attr elements.
- For subscriber events, drivers will now parse the dest-dn and dest-entry-id (etc.) properties and submit them to the scripts.
- The old-src-dn property for rename and move events wasn't handled correctly. This is now fixed.
- Fixed publisher attributes not being automatically filtered out, when the do not appear in the driver publisher filter.
- Updated to OpenSSL 0.9.8h.
- Memory allocation improvements.
-Fixed the nxpwdpa utility from putting generating invalid password crypts. This can lead to a segmentation fault and cause the password to not be synchronized for the user.
Previous fixes:
- Network writes would fail on large amounts of data. This would cause the driver to fail and hang during large migrations.
- Improved memory allocation during event processing, which improved how much memory was required for large migrations.
- NIS polling script (poll.sh) now checks for 0-byte passwd map and retries access. This can occur if the script attempts to read the maps when another entity has it locked for access.
- NIS modify-user.sh script now returns "No Information Modified" status document when nothing on a user is actually modified. In addition, it no longer executes "make passwd" in such cases, which generated unnecessary work and network traffic.
- Fixed subscriber bug during driver shim shutdown that can lead to an "event lag", where old event responses were sent back in response to new events.
- Fixed query-back mechanism to properly handle queries from the scripts.
- Fixed multi-xds input documents not processed correctly the scripts.
- Fixed is-sensitive elements not being suppressed in trace.
- Fixed subscriber "event lag" that can be caused by forcing shutdown (kill -9) of the nxdrv while a script is being processed.
Items fixed since 3.5.0:
- Unicode characters would often cause the driver to crash or hang.
- During migration, the query scripts would not return all attributes that were requested from the filter.
- During migration, the query scripts would not return complete field values that contained spaces (such as the 'gecos' field).
- After 5 minuts of inactivity, the driver would disconnect and reconnect with the engine.
- Enabled authPassword handling in the polling scripts, so that the authPassword field could be published.
- 64-bit Linux PAM module included
- Fixed password synchronization bug that would fail to sync passwords on rare occasions.
- Fixed homeDirectory renames on user renames, when home directories are managed locally.
- Fixed PAM installation to recognize newer Linux PAM configurations.
- Fixed incorrect version reported by 'status'
- Fixed password adapter to update the shadowLastChange field on successful password syncs.
- Fixed "files" scripts to properly update shadowInactive field.
- Added utility functions to nxutil to base64-decode data and retrieve the current number of seconds since epoch.
- Fixed passwords not being set in NIS under certain cirumstances.
- Fixed core dump on AIX 5.3 (64-bit) password synch.
- Fixed NIS bug for systems with merged passwd and shadow files, where passwords did not synchronize.
- Fixed NIS add-user and add-group to correctly search for users with matching criteria.
- Fixed event-id to be added to status documents on subscribed events.
