RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Highlights in 4.8.5 and 4.8.6
- 5662: ID Views: do not allow custom Views for the masters
Custom ID views cannot be applied to IPA masters. A check was added to both IPA CLI and Web UI to prevent applying custom ID views to avoid confusion and unintended side-effects.
- 7181: ipa-replica-prepare fails for 2nd replica when passwordHistory is enabled
FreeIPA password policy plugin in 389-ds was extended to exempt non-Kerberos LDAP objects from checking Kerberos policy during password changes by the Directory Manager or a password synchronization manager. This issue affected, among others, an integrated CA administrator account during deployment of more than one replica in some cases.
- 7522: Disable cert publishing in dogtag
Dogtag certificate publishing facility is not configured anymore as it is not used in FreeIPA.
- 8233: 4.8.5 master Installation error
On Debian and ALT Linux setup of AJP connector did restart Apache instance before it was configured. The restart wasn't actually needed and thus was removed.
- 8236: Enforce a check to prevent adding objects from IPA as external members of external groups
Command 'ipa group-add-member' allowed to specify any user or group for '--external' option. A stricter check is added to verify that a group or user to be added as an external member does not come from IPA domain.
- 8239: Actualize Bootstrap version
Bootstrap Javascript framework used by FreeIPA web UI was updated to version 3.4.1.
- 8241: Build fails on Fedora 30
SELinux rules for ipa-custodia were merged into FreeIPA SELinux policy. The policy relied on an SELinux interface that is not available in Fedora 30. The logic was changed to allow better portability across SELinux versions.
Known Issues
- 8240: KRA install fails if all KRA members are Hidden Replicas
If the first KRA instance is installed on a hidden replica, more KRA instances cannot be added to the cluster. As a workaround, temporarily make the the hidden replica with the KRA role visible before adding more KRA instances. The previously-hidden replica can be hidden again as soon as ipa-kra-install is complete.
