5 Limitations and restrictions This section lists problems and limitations known to HP at time of publication. • Windows Sync is not qualified for B.08.10.04 • To enable core file dumps of ns-slapd and related processes when aborting, system changes are required prior to installation By default for security reasons, processes that acquire a higher user privilege, such as the ns-slapd daemon, are not dumped to a core file when aborting.
6 Known issues Issues known at time of publication include: • On HP-UX 11i v3, the PHCO_42326 patch, which is a pthread library patch, is required to address pthread issues. • QXCR1001038153: If the nsslapd-accesslog-logexpirationtime, nsslapd-auditlog-logexpirationtime, or nsslapd-errorlog-logexpirationtime attribute is missing from dse.ldif, the Admin console incorrectly displays the value of the attribute as set to 1. This is incorrect, the default of these attributes is -1 (disabled).
Workaround: Use one of the following workarounds: ◦ Install CDE. ◦ Before running the Administration Console, force the web browser to display the licensing text in text mode. Do this by logging in as the user who will run the console and then starting the Firefox or Mozilla web browser from the shell in the foreground. This causes the browser to display the licensing information in text mode. The default locations for the web browsers are /opt/firefox/firefox and /opt/mozilla/mozilla.
• Directory Server does not replicate all attributes By default, the Directory Server does not automatically replicate all attributes to consumers in the multi-master replication environment, including several password-associated attributes, such as passwordRetryCount, retryCountResetTime and accountUnlockTime. Workaround: To replicate these attributes, use the ldapmodify utility to set the passwordIsglobalPolicy attribute to 1 in the cn=config entry.
