RHBA-2011:0990 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated ipa-client package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The ipa-client package provides a tool to enroll a machine to an IPA version 2
server. IPA (Identity, Policy, Audit) is an integrated solution to provide
centrally managed identity, that is, machine, user, virtual machines, groups,
and authentication credentials.

This update fixes the following bug:

• This update adds sssd suport to the ipa-client package. (BZ#631907)
• Previously, the ipa-client used the wrong object identifier (OID). This update

corrects this issue. Now, the ipa-client uses the same OID as the the server.
(BZ #682231)

All IPA users are advised to upgrade to this updated package which, fixes this
bug.
