5.2. Highlighted Updates and New Features
Important
Note that this document only contains release notes for features which are not available in the base Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 release. Many of the new features and bug fixes in Red Hat Directory Server are in the 389-ds-base package, and those are documented in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 Release Notes.
Directory Server 10.1 has introduced the following new features and important updates to make managing the directory service and its data easier and more secure:
Setup can now complete even if the FQDN cannot be strictly resolved
Previously, when creating a server instance, the setup script checked that the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) can be strictly resolved, and did not continue if that was not the case. This prevented the setup from completing on certain configurations, such as cases where
ns-slapd was located behind a load balancing server.
This update adds a way to circumvent this requirement by setting the
General.StrictHostCheck=false option by using it on the command line when running the setup-ds-admin.pl script, or in the configuration .inf file during a silent setup. If you use this option, the setup script will accept the FQDN specified by General.FullMachineName without checking it against the DNS server.
Directory Console now supports additional operating systems
The Directory Console now supports additional operating systems. For details, see Section 5.1.4, “Supported Platforms for Windows Synchronization Tool”.
Log files are now displayed separately in the Administration Server Console
Previously, the log files displayed in the Administration Server Console under the Configuration tab were named Accesses and Errors. With this update, each log file (Access log, Error log, Audit log and Audit fail log) is displayed separately with an appropriate title, which is clearer and more precise.
