[Freeipa-devel] Announcing FreeIPA 3.2.0
The FreeIPA team is proud to announce FreeIPA v3.2.0. It can be downloaded from http://www.freeipa.org/page/Downloads. The new version has also been built for Fedora 19 and is on its way to updates-testing. Many thanks to those that tested our alpha and beta releases and those that participated in the Fedora 19 Test day. Several issues were uncovered and resolved due to your hard work. == Highlights in 3.2.0 == === New features for 3.2.0 === * Support installing FreeIPA without an embedded Certificate Authority, with user-provided SSL certificates for the HTTP and Directory servers. [1] * New cert-find command. Search certificates in the Dogtag database based on their serial number, validity or revocation details. This feature is available both as a CLI command and Web UI page. [2] * New trustconfig-show and trustconfig-mod command. Show or modify AD Trust settings generated during AD Trust installation (ipa-adtrust-install) [3] * Multiple FreeIPA servers can now be designated as Domain Controllers for trusts with Active Directory [12] * New realmdomains-show and realmdomains-mod command. Manage list of DNS domains associated with FreeIPA realm (realmdomains sommand). This list is primarily used by AD, which can pull all domains managed by FreeIPA and use that list for routing authentication requests for domains which do not match FreeIPA realm name. [4] * Support trusted domain users in HBAC test command (hbactest command). * Allow filtering incoming trusted domain SIDs per-trust (trust-mod command). [5] * Configurable PAC type for services. Service commands can now configure a set of PAC types (MS-PAC, PAD, no PAC) that are supported and handled for the service. * Faster UI loading. FreeIPA Web UI application is now packaged in minimalized format. FreeIPA web server is now also able to transmit data in compressed format. [6] [7] * UI now accepts confirmation of cancel of its dialogs via keyboard [11] * Client reenrollment. A host that has been recreated can now be reenrolled to FreeIPA server using a backed up host keytab or admin credentials [8] * Service and Host commands now provide options to add or remove selected Kerberos flags [9] * Full system backup and restore [13] * Experimental extensible interface for Web UI [14] * Source hosts have been completely removed from HBAC. They haven't been used by SSSD for quite some time and are being removed to avoid the suggestion that they might actually do something. * Web UI is now capable to translate SIDs to user and group names for external group members * Updated French, Ukranian and Spanish translations. === Bug fixes === * Fixed migration from OpenLDAP. FreeIPA is now able to migrate users and groups from OpenLDAP database instances. * Migration process is now also a lot faster and provides more debug output (to httpd error log). * SUDO rules disabled by sudorule-disable command are now removed from ou=sudoers compat tree without a need to restart 389 Directory Server instance. * Fixed LDAP schema upgrade when upgrading from a pre-2.2.0 release * Fixed server installation with external CA (--external-ca) * Consolidate on-line help system, show help without need of valid Kerberos credentials (ipa help) * New LDAP plugin (ipa_dns) has been added to add missing idnsSOASerial attribute for replicas which either do not have integrated DNS service enabled to which have disabled SOA serial autoincrement * LDAP lockout plugin has been fixed so that lockout policies are applied consistently both for LDAP binds and Kerberos authentication * trust-resolve CLI command added to help resolving SIDs in Web UI to groups and users for external group members [16] * ... and many others stabilization fixes, see Detailed changelog for full details == Changes in API or CLI == === Dropped --selfsign option === FreeIPA servers prior to 3.2.0 could be installed with --selfsign option. This configured the server with a NSS database based Certificate Authority with a selfsigned CA certificate and limited certificate operation support. This option was always intended for development or testing purposes only and was not intended for use in production. This release drops this option and deprecates the functionality. FreeIPA servers installed with the --selfsign option will be converted to CA-less. See [15] for more information and instructions for manual certificate management. FreeIPA servers version 3.2.0 and later supports the following 2 flavors of certificate management: * FreeIPA with pki-ca (dogtag) with either a self-signed certificate or with a certificate signed by external CA (--external-ca option) * FreeIPA with no pki-ca installed with certificates signed and provided by an external CA [1] === Dropped CSV support === FreeIPA client CLI supported CSV in some arguments so that multiple values could be added with just one convenient option: ipa permission-add some-perm --permissions=read,write --a
[Freeipa-devel] Announcing FreeIPA 3.2.0 Beta 1
The FreeIPA team is proud to announce the first Beta of FreeIPA v3.2.0. We would like to welcome any early testers of this Beta to provide us feedback and help us stabilize this feature release which we plan to release as final in the beginning of May 2013. It can be downloaded from http://www.freeipa.org/page/Downloads. The new version has also been built for Fedora 19 Alpha. == Highlights in 3.2.0 Beta 1 == === New features for 3.2.0 === * Support installing FreeIPA without an embedded Certificate Authority, with user-provided SSL certificates for the HTTP and Directory servers.
