[Announce] FreeIPA 4.8.1 released
by Alexander Bokovoy
Hello!
The FreeIPA team would like to announce FreeIPA 4.8.1 release!
It can be downloaded from http://www.freeipa.org/page/Downloads. Builds for
Fedora 30 will be available in the official Fedora repository soon.
== Highlights in 4.8.1 ==
* 5608: [RFE] Add Dogtag configuration extensions
It is now possible to tune Dogtag configuration when creating a CA by passing
an overlay configuration file with --pki-config-override option. Not all
options are supported yet and documentation is being worked on.
--------
* Release tarball corrections
FreeIPA 4.8.0 release tarball did lack two update files. This release adds
them back. The files existed in git but weren't installed when building
distribution packages.
--------
* 8040: ipa migrade-ds regression
FreeIPA 4.8.0 tightened access to LDAP connections to disallow passing
plainttext credentials over an insecure connection. This broke 'ipa migrate-ds'
functionality where in order to migrate to FreeIPA one often needs to connect
to a legacy LDAP server which might not be using TLS certificates.
FreeIPA 4.8.1 restores ability to use insecure LDAP connections in 'ipa
migrate-ds' for migration purposes only.
=== Enhancements ===
* 7932 and 7933: index certmap attributes and allow altSecurityIdentities in schema
For certificate mapping operations it is possible to specify
altSecurityIdentities in the certification mapping filters. The filter is
applied by SSSD at both FreeIPA and Active Directory LDAP servers. While
nothing is using altSecurityIdentities in FreeIPA now, the schema allows to
optimize queries better at LDAP server side. Additionally, other certificate
mapping attributes are now indexed to allow faster operations for environments
with a large set of mapping rules.
--------
* 7991: Profile-based renewal of system certificates
FreeIPA-specific certificates tracked by certmonger can now be renewed with
preservation of a certificate profile used to issue them. It is also possible
to change the certificate profile during update. This is required to allow
updating certain profile-specific attributes of the system certificates in
future.
--------
