6.3. Known Issues

Important

Note that this document only contains release notes for features which are not available in the base Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 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 7.1 Release Notes.
The following are some of the most important known issues in Directory Server 10.0. If applicable, supported workarounds are also described.
  • The Windows Console provided as part of Red Hat Directory Server does not yet support IPv6-only networks.
  • Due to a bug in the SELinux policy, Admin server fails to restart remotely from console in Enforcing mode. To work around this problem, you can restart the server in Permissive mode or define a custom SELinux policy to allow access for the Admin server. Instructions on how to create the custom policy are included in details of AVC denial messages in the sealert utility.
  • If the remove-ds-admin.pl script is executed without an installed Admin server, it removes configuration files that were installed from the RPM package. As a consequence, subsequently run setup-ds-admin.pl script terminates without creating the configuration file backups. To work around this problem, run the yum reinstall 389-admin command to recover the missing files.
  • If a pipe file is present but the ds-logpipe.py script is not running, an attempt to restart the Directory Server fails and the system becomes unresponsive.
  • Global syntax checking attributes should be enforced if the settings are not configured in the local password policy. However, if both global and local password policies are configured, the global policies are not being enforced as the default. To work around this issue, follow these steps:
    1. Enable global syntax checking.
    2. Enable fine-grained password checking.
    3. Edit the local password policy to contain all password syntax attributes. Set the values to something other than the default setting, as listed in the Configuration, Command, and File Reference.
    4. Edit the local password policy with the required values, even if they are the defaults.
