RHBA-2013:0019 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ipa-client packages that fixes two bugs are 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 bugs:

• During the installation, the ipa-client-install utility created a zero-length

/etc/sysconfig/network file. Consequently, the information about the network
configuration was not specified. The underlying source code has been modified
and the installation process no longer erases the configuration file.
(BZ#813387)

• If the client requested keys for encryption types that the server did not

support, and the requested key was not returned, the ipa-getkeytab utility, and
consequently the client enrollment, failed. With this update, the ipa-getkeytab
utility has been modified to no longer fail if the key is not retrieved; a
warning message is now displayed instead. (BZ#816693)

All users of ipa-client are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs.
