conga bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated conga packages that fix multiple bugs and introduce feature enhancements
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The Conga project is a management system for remote workstations. It consists of
luci, which is a secure web-based front end, and ricci, which is a secure daemon
that dispatches incoming messages to underlying management modules.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the luci_admin utility did not operate correctly if
  third-party packages of the Zope web application server were installed on the
  system. With this update, this issue has been fixed so that the luci_admin
  utility now works as expected. (BZ#643996)
  
• Prior to this update, the length of certain text fields in luci's resource
  agent forms was insufficient, causing the inability to see the whole text field
  content. The problem has been resolved in this update by increasing the length
  of the respective text fields. (BZ#640329)
  
• Prior to this update, managing a cluster that contained a large number of
  services or resources configured in the /etc/cluster/cluster.conf file resulted
  in a "RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded" error message if a user
  tried to display that particular cluster. This problem has been resolved so that
  cluster management works as expected, and no error message is displayed when
  viewing the cluster. (BZ#658621)
  

As well, this update adds the following enhancements:

• The commands issued with luci and run by ricci are now logged using the system
  log facility so that it is now easier to debug problems with Conga actions.
  (BZ#459190)
  
• Support for specifying a sub-organization for the fence_cisco_ucs I/O Fencing
  agent has been added in this update. (BZ#690936)
  
• Support for setting the "self_fence" attribute for Highly Available Logical
  Volume Management (HA LVM) resources has been added with this update.
  (BZ#679866)
  
• Support for configuring the new fence_vmware_soap Fencing agent has been added
  in this update. (BZ#705073)
  

All Conga users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs and add these enhancements.
