Highlights in 4.3.1#

Enhancements#

  • FreeIPA Apache instance has an update mod_nss cipher suite to only allow secure ciphers #5589

  • Directory Server is configured with “default” cipher suite instead of “+all” #5684

  • topology graph user experience was improved. Graph is enlarged to fill all available space. It can be moved and zoomed so that it handles bigger topologies better. #5502, #5649, #5647

  • MS-PAC extension was made optional for users #2579, currently without UI #5752

  • added option to disable preauth for service principal names. Configurable via ipaconfigstring value “KDC:Disable Default Preauth for SPNs” in server config. #3860

  • improved behavior of DNA plugin in complex FreeIPA environments where replicas are not all interconnected so that directory server is able to lookup ranges on other servers once a range is exhausted #4026

  • 3des and rc4 enctypes are no longer used on new installations of FreeIPA server #4740

  • `ipa-replica-manage clean-dangling-ruv` subcommand was added to help with cases with dandling RUVs, especially the ones related to CA suffix #5411

  • deprecated keytab_set extended operation was removed from ipasam module #5495

  • an option was added to Web UI to allow to specify GID number in user adder dialog

  • improved warning message on uninstallation of replica notifying that admin might be removing the last CA, KRA or DNSSec master #5544

  • FreeIPA python packages were made independent on architecture(noarch) #5596

  • AD users are now shown as members of IPA groups when external group is added to IPA group #4403

Bug fixes#

  • fixed bug where `ipa-cacert-manage install` failed on intermediate CA certs #5612

  • fixed bug where ipa-server-install didn’t stop on error and subsequently reported incorrect root cause #2539

  • fixed bug where ipa-ca-install hang on creating a temporary CA admin during replica promotion #5412

  • fixed issue with vault-archive command sometimes not working #5538

  • fixed regression in Web UI where required indicator ‘*’ was missing on Global Password Policy page, priority field #5553

  • fixed regression in reverse zone creation/handling on domain level 0 in ipa-replica-prepare by adding –auto-reverse and –allow-zone-overlap options #5563

  • fixed bug where DNS zone overlap check caused failure of ipa-dns-install #5564

  • fixed upgrade bug which prevents installation of replicas from masters updated to 4.3.0 #5575

  • fixed rare bug in connection handling which can cause a crash of KDC #5577

  • fixed regression in updating DNS entries in `ipa-csreplica-manage del` #5583

  • fixed not displaying suffixes in IPA servers table in Web UI #5609

  • fixed deadlock in directory server between slapi-nis/memberof when a topology segment was added/removed #5637

  • fixed issue where ipa-adtrust-install sometimes created incorrect SRV records #5663
