Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4 all include the core 389-ds-base package as part of the distribution. This package provides the central Directory Server functionality and comprises the Directory Server instance and associated tools. Red Hat Directory Server 9.0.1 includes extended usability on top of the 389-ds-base through the Directory Server Console and Red Hat Administration Server and other supporting tools.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 includes enhancements to the 389-ds-base package which introduce some new and enhanced features. When the underlying operating system is upgraded to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, any installed Directory Server instance will receive this new functionality because of the upgraded 389-ds-base package.
This document covers the enhancements included in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 release. Any Directory Server 9.0.1 instances running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2 will not have this enhanced functionality.
