Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 4.0 Caching Issues
2-2 Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server Release Notes
2.2 Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 4.0 Caching Issues
Table 2–2 lists the known issues related to caching.
6509535 Daylight Savings Time (DST) will start in U.S.A from the 2nd Sunday of March and
end on the 1st Sunday of November. This will impact the date and time rules of the
operating system and JRE.
In the standalone version of Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server, the JRE version
compatible with 2007 DST changes is bundled with the installer. However, you
need to address the impact on the date and time rules of the operating system by
installing the appropriate operating system patches as explained in Step 1 of the
Workaround.
For the Java ES 5 installation of Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server, you need to
install the operating system patches and also the compatible version of JRE. Follow
Step 1 and Step 2 of the workaround.
Workaround
1. Download and use the appropriate operating system patches.
For other platforms, download similar DST-compatible patches from the
operating system vendor's web site.
2. For Solaris, Windows, and Linux, run Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server with
JRE 1.4.2_13. For HP-UX, run Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server with JRE
1.4.2.12.
6867774 The Administration Server fails to start when a proxy installation that uses a
custom JDK configuration is upgraded to a service pack version that requires a
newer JDK version. After the upgrade, the JDK configuration must be manually
modified to point to either the bundled JDK or a custom JDK of the required
version.
6909558 Backslashes should be used in LDAP UIDs only to escape special characters. The
ldap sdk used by the Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server will remove backslashes
from the UID before sending the same to the directory server. This can possibly
lead to a situation where the authentication fails where it should succeed (because
the UID, with backslashes stripped, finds no match in the directory server), or even
succeeds where it should fail (because the UID, with backslashes stripped, finds a
match in the directory server).
6888170 Upgrade fails on
RHEL4 when the specified target directory name contains a trailing
slash.
12307267 Fails to migrate from Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 to Oracle iPlanet Web
Proxy Server 4.0 with Security Sockets Layer (SSL) configuration.
Currently, Web Proxy 3.6 certificates cannot be migrated to a Web Proxy 4.0
instance.
Workaround:
1. Turn off the security option in the Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6
instance.
2. Migrate from Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 to 4.0.
3. Generate a certificate signing request (CSR).
4. Create and install certificates to enable security on the Oracle iPlanet Web
Proxy Server 4.0 instance.
