RHBA-2016:2666 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

A Red Hat Directory Server Windows Console update that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat Directory Server 10.1.

Description

Red Hat Directory Server Windows Console is a console that runs on supported Microsoft Windows hosts. It allows users to manage the Directory Server running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux remotely from Windows machines.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Red Hat Directory Console window coordinates are stored in user preferences in the "o=netscaperoot" suffix. Previously, if the Directory Console was used by the same user on two different systems with different monitor setups, it was possible for the coordinates to be off screen on one of them, and consequently, the Directory Console window could be hidden after logging in. This update adds a check which compares saved window coordinates with the current screen size, and resets the window location if currently outside the screen, which ensures the window is always visible. (BZ#1331891)
• Previously, Red Hat Directory Server Console required Java 6 (java-1.6.0).

This update raises the minimum requirements to Java 8 (java-1.8.0). (BZ#1304594)

Users of Red Hat Directory Server Windows Console are advised to apply this update, which fixes these bugs and adds these enhancements.
