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 incorporates a cosmetic fix where the plugin would misreport whether or not it had been built with support for transactions, a possible heap corruption bug which could occur when maps or groups of entries were removed from its configuration, and leaking the memory used to hold the parameters of a client's yp_all() request.

ChangeLog:

* Mon Dec 16 2013 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.52-1
- correctly reflect whether or not we're built with transaction support in
  the module's nsslapd-pluginVersion attribute
- fix a couple of should've-used-memmove()-instead-of-memcpy() cases which
  would hit when removing maps or groups of maps (#1043546)
* Mon Dec  9 2013 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.51-1

* Tue Oct  1 2013 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.50-1
- if we get an EPIPE while registering with rpcbind, try to reconnect and
  retransmit before giving up
* Thu Sep 19 2013 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.49-1
- add {nis,schema-compat}-ignore-subtree and -restrict-subtree settings,
  which should let us avoid deadlocks when tasks are modifying data in
  the backend database (#1007451)
* Mon Aug 12 2013 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.48-1
- try to gracefully handle failures obtaining internal locks
- fix locating-by-name of entries with names that require escaping
- add self-tests for nsswitch and PAM functionality
- make nsswitch mode properly handle user and group names with commas in them
- handle attempts to PAM authenticate to compat groups (i.e., with failure)
- drop the "schema-compat-origin" attribute
* Wed Aug  7 2013 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.47.7-1
- fix building against versions of directory server older than 1.3.0, which
  first introduced slapi_escape_filter_value()
* Wed Aug  7 2013 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.47.6-1
- only buildrequire libsss_nss_idmap-devel on releases that included SSSD
  version 1.10 or later, where it first appeared
* Wed Aug  7 2013 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.47.5-1
- merge Alexander Bokovoy's patches to
  - teach the schema compatibility plugin to optionally serve user and group
    information retrieved from libc as part of a set of compat entries
  - handle simple bind requests for those entries by calling out to PAM
  - to rewrite the DN of incoming bind requests to compat entries to point
    at the source entries, instead of returning a referral which most clients
    won't handle
- include IPA-specific docs as docs
* Sun Aug  4 2013 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng at lists.fedoraproject.org> - 0.47-2

  whether or not the changes cause the entry to need to be added or removed
  from a map (#912673)
- check SLAPI_PLUGIN_OPRETURN in post-change hooks, in case the backend failed
  to update things but the server called us anyway
* Tue Mar 19 2013 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.45-1
- fix dispatching for multiple connected clients in the NIS plugin (#923336)

  which have versions of IPA < 3.0, per mkosek on freeipa-devel
