FreeIPA 4.9.13

FreeIPA 4.9.13#

The FreeIPA team would like to announce FreeIPA 4.9.13 release!

It can be downloaded from http://www.freeipa.org/page/Downloads. Builds for Fedora distributions will be available from the official repository soon.

Highlights in 4.9.13#

  • 9289: Configure server affinity during replica installation

    Replica installation process now happens against a chosen server, not only for Kerberos authentication but also for all IPA API and CA requests. This helps to avoid incomplete replicated details when adding a new replica to a complex topology.

  • 9331: Better handling of the command line and web UI cert search and/or list features

    cert-find performance was improved dramatically when a large number of certificates are returned by changing the method IPA uses internally to parse results from the CA.

  • 9378: [RFE] Descriptive error message in ipa user-add

    The commands `ipa user-add` or `ipa group-add` validate the format of the user/group name and display an error message. In this release, the message is expanded for better clarity.

  • 9402: OTP authentication failure on s390x

    Correct endianness issue that affected 2FA tokens use case for IPA server running on a mainframe (S390x architecture).

  • 9422: Interrupt request processing in ipadb_fill_info3() if connection to 389ds is lost

    Adjust error handling in MS-PAC processing code under high load. The fix should address krb5kdc crashes in a situation when a connection to LDAP server is severed.

  • 9427: RHEL 8.8 & 9.2 fails to create AD trust with STIG applied

    Make sure SSSD enables nss and pam services in all circumstances, even when existing SSSD configuration is present during deployment. In environments hardened with a STIG profile this fixes support for a trust to Active Directory .

  • 9433: ipa user-mod –idp-user-id fails with: attribute “ipaIdpSub” not allowed

    Allow to create user accounts with external IdP reference pre-defined.

  • 9448: FreeIPA 4.9 KDB rejects FreeIPA 4.10 KDB-issued evidence ticket in S4U processing

    Downstream only: coordinate fixes to MIT Kerberos 1.18 and FreeIPA 4.9 to allow interoperability with MIT Kerberos 1.20 or later which removed AD-SIGNTICKET support. MS-PAC information is required for S4U Kerberos extension to operate but older MIT Kerberos version expect AD-SIGNTICKET buffer as well. With this change tickets issued by FreeIPA using AD-SIGNTICKET-free code are accepted by older FreeIPA KDCs for S4U extensions as long as they contain MS-PAC buffers.
