RHBA-2010:0064 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated redhat-ds-base packages are now available that fix a bug related to
synchronizing deletions of user entries.

Description

Red Hat Directory Server is an LDAPv3 compliant server. The redhat-ds-base
packages include the LDAP server and command-line utilities for server
administration.

These updated packages address an issue with synchronizing a deletion for a
user entry. When a user entry with a comma character in the CN attribute
was deleted in Active Directory, the deletion was not synchronized to the
Red Hat Directory Server side. The Active Directory tombstone DN was unable
to be mapped to the associated Red Hat Directory Server DN. This updated
package corrects the tombstone mapping logic, allowing the deletion to be
synchronized successfully.

Red Hat Directory Server users are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which resolve this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains
the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
