Highlights in 4.9.6

The FreeIPA team would like to announce FreeIPA 4.9.6 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 4.9.6#

  • 8402: [RFE] ipa-client-install forces nsupdate to bind with gssapi

    Invoke nsupdate without authentication if the GSS-TSIG attempt fails at install time ; configure SSSD to use nsupdate without GSS-TSIG in this case.
