Statistics for SNMP subagents (#4529542)
On UNIX platforms, statistics are generated only for the last SNMP subagent that is started. This
implies that you can monitor only one Directory Server instance at a time with SNMP.
Changing the maximum size of the transaction log file has no effect if log files already exist in the
database directory (#4523783)
Workaround
Stop the server, modify the
nsslapd-db-logfile-size
attribute in the
dse.ldif
configuration file
manually, remove all
log.*
files from the database directory, and restart the server.
ldapsearch on Linux systems (#4755958)
On Linux systems, an
ldapsearch
operation without a host name, such as
ldapsearch -D ... -w ... -h -p 389
returns an error 91 (
ldap_simple_bind: Can't connect to the LDAP server - No route to
host
). On other platforms, an error 89 (
LDAP_PARAM_ERROR
) is returned. This is because on Linux
systems, it is possible to resolve a host such as "
-p
", so the connect function attempts to do so, and
fails.
International substring search on unaccented characters returns only unaccented characters
(#4955638)
Instead of returning the unaccented character and all of its possible accented variants, which would
seem to be the logical approach, a search on an unaccented character only returns the unaccented
character in question. Searching for an accented character however, returns not only that character
but all other variants.
SSL does not start for a Directory Server with the instance name “test-cert” (#4971699)
Workaround
Avoid naming your Directory Server instance “test-cert”.
Modifying the port or secure port number of your user directory server does not make the necessary
port number changes to certain scripts and requires that these scripts be modified manually.
(#5029807)
If you modify the port or secure port number of your user directory server, the following scripts
remain hard-coded to the original port number:
bak2db.pl
,
schema_push.pl
,
db2bak.pl
,
check-slapd
,
db2index.pl
,
db2ldif.pl
,
monitor
,
ldif2db.pl
,
ns-accountstatus.pl
,
ldif2ldap
,
ns-activate.pl
,
ns-inactivate.pl
