Understood. Thank you for clarifying all that. I believe my best options at this point are to rebuild my environment on CentOS 7, enable COPR repo, and get the latest version of FreeIPA 4.x. I will hold out for a few more weeks to see if someone at RedHat can provide a fix/patch for the older version. Fingers crossed.

In general, FreeIPA team doesn't do backports to older versions due to tight cooperation with other components when introducing new features. We depend a lot on changes in 389-ds, Dogtag, MIT Kerberos, and SSSD, at least, but also in Samba and other components, including Linux kernel. Backporting all the changes to older releases of certain distributions is left to distribution maintainers. For Fedora we do have some freedom on what can be done and try to maintain availability of FreeIPA releases on two current versions but sometimes it is impossible due to update polices -- Fedora 20 got 4.0.x upgrade via COPR repository while we are cleaning up Fedora 21 for 4.1 support. In case of Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases, Red Hat itself (I cannot speak for the company) makes decisions what to support and these decisions are also based on certain stability promises for ABI, see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5154 for details. Some of components FreeIPA depends on change their ABI and therefore the changes can only be introduced in newer major releases. When these changes occurred, we coordinated with Red Hat engineering teams to make sure most important changes were folded into RHEL 7.0 release to provide a base for FreeIPA integration. For CentOS, as it tracks corresponding Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases, situation is similar. For packages that are not in RHEL/CentOS releases there are means to provide them through a side channels, like EPEL, but EPEL's policy prevents from packaging something that is available through the main channels for the release. We use COPR repositories to make possible to install newer FreeIPA versions on RHEL 7/CentOS 7/Fedora 20. However, these packages have no official support from Red Hat or CentOS project. They are FreeIPA upstream effort to make our releases more easily testable. For any issues found through COPR repositories you are welcome to file tickets to FreeIPA issue tracker at https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/. > >Thanks again for all your help. > > >-----Original Message----- >From: freeipa-users-boun...@redhat.com >[mailto:freeipa-users-boun...@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Murty, Ajeet (US - >Arlington) >Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2014 1:21 PM >To: Alexander Bokovoy >Cc: freeipa-users@redhat.com >Subject: Re: [Freeipa-users] weak and null ciphers detected on ldap ports > >I removed the new lines, looks like this now - > >modifyTimestamp: 20140915221826Z >nsSSL3Ciphers: -rsa_null_md5,+rsa_rc4_128_md5,+rsa_rc4_40_md5,+rsa_rc2_40_md5, > +rsa_des_sha,+rsa_fips_des_sha,+rsa_3des_sha,+rsa_fips_3des_sha,+fortezza,+fo > rtezza_rc4_128_sha,-fortezza_null,+tls_rsa_export1024_with_rc4_56_sha,+tls_rs > a_export1024_with_des_cbc_sha >numSubordinates: 1 > >I am still seeing the null ciphers in my scan results. > > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Alexander Bokovoy [mailto:aboko...@redhat.com] >Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2014 1:08 PM >To: Murty, Ajeet (US - Arlington) >Cc: Rob Crittenden; Rich Megginson; freeipa-users@redhat.com >Subject: Re: [Freeipa-users] weak and null ciphers detected on ldap ports > >On Tue, 07 Oct 2014, Murty, Ajeet (US - Arlington) wrote: >>I shutdown IPA and modified both dse ldif files to look like this - >> >> nsSSL3Ciphers: >> -rsa_null_md5,+rsa_rc4_128_md5,+rsa_rc4_40_md5,+rsa_rc2_40_md5, >> >> +rsa_des_sha,+rsa_fips_des_sha,+rsa_3des_sha,+rsa_fips_3des_sha,+fortezza,+fo >> >> rtezza_rc4_128_sha,-fortezza_null,+tls_rsa_export1024_with_rc4_56_sha,+tls_rs >> a_export1024_with_des_cbc_sha >> >> >>Then, when I try to start up IPA, I get this error message - >> >> [root]# /etc/init.d/ipa start >> Starting Directory Service >> Starting dirsrv: >> EXAMPLE-COM...[07/Oct/2014:12:49:59 -0400] - >> str2entry_dupcheck: entry has no dn >> [07/Oct/2014:12:49:59 -0400] - The entry [nsSSL3Ciphers] in the >> configfile /etc/dirsrv/slapd-EXAMPLE-COM/dse.ldif was empty or could not be >> parsed >> [07/Oct/2014:12:49:59 -0400] - str2entry_dupcheck: entry has no dn >The lines above suggest that you actually separated nsSSL3Ciphers line >from the entry itself.
