Bug Number Description Workaround
151705 The Admin Server Console is
hard-coded to set all TLS
ciphers to enabled. Disabling
the TLS ciphers through the
Console is not saved, and the
ciphers are re-enabled when the
Admin Server is restarted.
Never edit the Admin Server
ciphers through the Console.
Instead, edit the
console.conf file directly.
This file is located in
/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/
directory.
182509 The changelog used for
replication stores passwords in
clear text in order to replicate
them. In some contexts, this
could be a security risk.
Enable fractional replication and
specifically exclude the
userPassword attribute from
being replicated, which prevents
passwords from being written to
the changelog. For example:
nsds5replicatedAttributeList:
(objectclass=*) $ EXCLUDE
userPassword
190862 Global syntax checking
attributes should be enforced if
the settings aren't configured in
the local password policy.
However, if both global and local
password policies are
configured, the global policies
aren't being enforced as the
default.
1. Enable global syntax
checking.
2. Enable fine-grained
password checking.
3. Edit the local password
policy to contain all
password syntax
attributes. Set the values
to something other than
the default settings, as
listed in the Configuration,
Command, and File
Reference.
4. Re-edit the local
password policy with the
desired values, even if
they are the defaults.

DB libdb-4.4 to libdb-4.7, there
can be problems migrating the
data in the older database. T his
is indicated in the error logs with
messages like:
libdb: Program version 4.7
doesn't match environment
version 4.4
Migrate to the newer Berkeley
DB with this procedure:
1. Shut down the older
database.
2. Still using the old version
of Berkeley DB, run
recovery on the database
environment using the
DB_ENV->open method
or the db_recover utility.
3. With the DB_ENV->open
method to run recovery,
