Summary     : NIS Server and Schema Compatibility plugins for Directory Server
Description :
This package provides two plugins for Red Hat and 389 Directory Server.

The NIS Server plugin allows the directory server to act as a NIS server
for clients, dynamically generating and updating NIS maps according to
its configuration and the contents of the DIT, and serving the results to
clients using the NIS protocol as if it were an ordinary NIS server.

The Schema Compatibility plugin allows the directory server to provide an
alternate view of entries stored in part of the DIT, optionally adding,
dropping, or renaming attribute values, and optionally retrieving values
for attributes from multiple entries in the tree.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update causes the Schema Compatibility plugin to escape the relative distinguished names (RDNs) of entries which it generates.

Previously, if one of the generated entries had, as the value in its naming attribute, a character which would otherwise cause the entry's distinguished name (DN) to become invalid, failing to escape it properly could later cause the server to crash when it attempted to perform operations using the generated entry's DN.

ChangeLog:

* Tue Mar  6 2012 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.38-1
- properly escape RDN values when building compat entries (#796509, #800625)
* Mon Feb 13 2012 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.37-1
- fix a compile error on systems where LDAP_SCOPE_SUBORDINATE isn't defined
  (reported by Christian Neuhold)
- conditionalize whether we have a build dependency on tcp_wrappers (older
  releases) or tcp_wrappers-devel (newer releases)
* Tue Jan 24 2012 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.36-1
- take steps to avoid making yp_first/yp_next clients loop indefinitely
  when a single LDAP entry produces multiple copies of the same NIS key
  for a given map
* Tue Jan 24 2012 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.35-1
- add mmatch/mregmatch[i]/mregsub[i] formatting functions which work like
  match/regmatch[i]/regsub[i], but which can handle and return lists of
  zero or more results (part of #783274)
* Thu Jan 19 2012 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.34-1
- do entry comparisons ourselves, albeit less throughly, to avoid the worst
  case in pathological cases (more of #771444)
* Tue Jan 17 2012 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.33-1
- get more aggressive about skipping unnecessary calculations (most of
  the problem in #771444, though not the approach described there)
* Mon Jan 16 2012 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.32-1
- add support for directory server transactions (#758830,#766320)
* Sat Jan 14 2012 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng at lists.fedoraproject.org> - 0.28-2
- Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_17_Mass_Rebuild
* Wed Jan 11 2012 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.31-1
- fix some memory leaks (more of #771493)
* Tue Jan 10 2012 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.30-1
- skip recalculations when the attributes which changed don't factor into
  our calculations (part of #771493)
* Wed Jan  4 2012 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.29-1
- add regmatchi/regsubi formatting functions which work like regmatch/regsub,
  but do matching in a case-insensitive manner
- update NIS map defaults to match {CRYPT} userPassword values in a
  case-insensitive manner so that we also use {crypt} userPassword values
- fix inconsistencies in the NIS service stemming from using not-normalized DNs
  in some places where it should have used normalized DNs
* Mon Dec 19 2011 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.28-1
- when configured with --with-ldap=openldap, link with -lldap_r rather
  than -lldap (rmeggins, #769107)
* Tue Dec  6 2011 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.27-1
- when building for 389-ds, use Slapi_RWLocks if they appear to be available
  (the rest of #730394/#730403)
* Fri Aug 12 2011 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.26-1
- when building for 389-ds, use libpthread's read-write locks instead of
  NSPR's (part of #730394/#730403)
