Fixed In Version: 389-ds-base-1.3.4.0-30.el7_2
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
During the upgrade from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 to 7.2, the encryption algorithm used by the Reversible Password Plug-in was changed from DES to AES, and 389-ds-base automatically converted all passwords to the new algorithm upon upgrade. However, password conversion failed with an "error 32" if any defined backend was missing the top entry. Additionally, even if the conversion failed, 389-ds-base still disabled the DES plug-in, which caused existing passwords to fail to decode. This bug has been fixed, 389-ds-base now ignores errors when searching backends for passwords to convert, and the DES plug-in is now only disabled after all passwords using the DES algorithm were successfully converted to AES.
