50 iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition Release Notes • June 20, 2001
Problem 524191. Multi-Threaded NSAPI SAFs Crash
Workaround: When writing multi-threaded NSAPI SAFs for iPlanet Web Server 4.1 and greater,
you must call the function
prepare_nsapi_thread(rq, sn). This should be the first call of any
new thread. This replaces the need to do
systhread_setdata(getThreadMallocKey(),
sn->pool)
, which was used in earlier server versions.
The function may need to be forward declared when compiling with early service packs of 4.1. The
declaration should look like this:
NSAPI_PUBLIC void prepare_nsapi_thread (Request * rq, Session * sn);
Security
Problem 526797 Admin Server cannot connect to secure ldap server with Use SSL selected if Admin
Server (or https instance) is not SSL enabled
The listener processes must be able to establish a trust relationship with the LDAP server they must
be able to open their Certificate Databases to examine the trust chain of the received LDAP
certificate. If the instance (Admin Server or individual instances) is not SSL enabled then it is unable
to open the certificate database and appears "hung" while attempting to open the database.
Workaround
Provide password.conf as documented at:
http://docs/docs/manuals/enterprise/41/ag/essvrprf.htm#1012001
("Restarting an SSL Server"). Sample format is:
Communicator Certificate DB: password!
This must be provided for each instance that needs to communicate with the SSL enabled LDAP
server.

The following error message may appear when you turn Encryption on with the default settings (in
