RHBA-2016:2711 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Identity packages that resolve various issues are now
available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8.0 (Liberty) for RHEL 7.

Description

Red Hat OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for building a private
or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud running on commonly
available physical hardware. This advisory includes packages for:

• OpenStack Identity service

The OpenStack Identity service (keystone) authenticates and authorizes
OpenStack users by keeping track of users and their permitted activities.
The Identity service supports multiple forms of authentication including
user name and password credentials, token-based systems, and AWS-style
logins.

This update addresses the following issue:

• In certain cases, directories use the concept of POSIX groups, where the entities of users in the groups are represented as UIDs, not full DNs such as:

dn: cn=group1, cn=groups,dc=domain,dc=com
....
memberUid: user1
memberUid: user2
....
The LDAP driver was previously hardcoded for full DN entities, for example:
dn: cn=group1, cn=groups,dc=domain,dc=com
....
memberUid: uid=user1,cn=users,dc=domain,dc=com
memberUid: uid=user2,cn=users,dc=domain,dc=com
....
This update adds support for LDAP backends using POSIX groups. (BZ#1375685)
