- 5042517
-
The modify DN operation is not supported for LDIF, JDBC, join
and access control data views.
- 6255952
-
When local proxy ACIs are defined, operations using the get
effective rights control may not return the correct information.
- 6356465
-
Directory Proxy Server has been seen to reject ACIs that specify
subtypes to the target attribute, such as (targetattr = "locality;lang-fr-ca").
- 6357160
-
The dpconf command does not reject new
line and line feed characters in property values. Avoid using new line and
line feed characters when setting property values.
- 6359601
-
When ACIs are configured, Directory Proxy Server has been seen
not to return the same results as a search directly on the LDAP data source.
- 6360059
-
Directory Proxy Server cannot resume the JDBC data source connection
that is restored after the data source connection failure. Directory Proxy Server can
resume the connection only after restarting the Directory Proxy Server instance.
- 6374344
-
Directory Proxy Server has been seen to return an operations error,
stating that the server is unable to read the bind response, after a Directory Server data
source is restarted.
- 6383532
-
Directory Proxy Server must be restarted when the authentication
mode configuration is changed.
- 6386073
-
After a CA-Signed Certificate request is generated for Directory Proxy Server,
you can refresh Directory Service Control Center. Directory Service Control Center then labels the certificate as
self-signed.
- 6388022
-
You can configure to use SSL connections when the client application
connects using SSL. If the SSL port used by Directory Proxy Server is incorrect, Directory Proxy Server has
been seen to close all connections after a secure search.
- 6390118
-
Directory Proxy Server fails to count the number of referral hops
properly when configured to use authentication based on the client application
credentials rather than proxy authorization.
- 6390220
-
Directory Proxy Server allows you to set the base-dn property
of a data view to the root DN, "", only when initially
creating the data view.
- 6410741
-
Directory Service Control Center sorts values as strings. As a result, when you
sort numbers in Directory Service Control Center, the numbers are sorted as if they were strings.
An ascending sort of 0, 20, and 100 results in the list 0, 100, 20.
A descending sort of 0, 20, and 100 results in the list 20, 100, 0.
- 6415184
-
Directory Proxy Server instance with multi-byte characters in
its path may fail to be created in DSCC, to start or perform other regular
tasks.
Some of these issues can be resolved by using the charset that was used
to create the instance. Set the charset using the following commands:
# cacaoadm list-params | grep java-flags
java-flags=-Xms4M -Xmx64M
# cacaoadm stop
# cacaoadm set-param java-flags="-Xms4M -Xmx64M -Dfile.encoding=utf-8"
# cacaoadm start
|
Use only the ASCII characters in the instance path to avoid these issues.

-
Do not use the dollar sign, $, when defining
attribute rules.
- 6439604
-
After configuring alerts, you must restart Directory Proxy Server for
the change to take effect.
- 6461510
-
In Directory Proxy Server, referral hop limit does not work.
- 6447554
-
Directory Proxy Server has been seen to fail to rename an entry
moving to another data view when numeric or lexicographic data distribution
is configured.
- 6458935
-
When working with join data views, Directory Proxy Server does
not take data distribution algorithms in the views that make up the join.
To work around this issue, configure data distribution at the level
of the join data view when using joins and data distribution together.
- 6463067
-
The dpadm autostart command does not work
when you install software from native packages, and you relocate the native
packages at installation time.
- 6469154
-
On Windows, the output of dsadm and dpadm commands, and help messages are not localized in Simplified and
Traditional Chinese languages.
- 6469780

when it is used in a primary table.
- 6488197
-
After installation and after server instance creation on Windows
systems, the file permissions to the installation and server instance folder
allow access to all users.
To work around this issue, change the permissions on the installations
and server instance folders.
- 6488297
-
On Windows, DSCC initialization can only be performed by Administrator
user
- 6490763
-
Access Manager, when accessing Directory Server through Directory Proxy Server,
has been seen to encounter caching problems related to persistent searches
after Directory Server is restarted.
To work around this issue, restart either Access Manager or Directory Proxy Server after
restarting Directory Server.
For further fine tuning, you can increase the number of and delay between Access Manager attempts
to reestablish persistent search connections. You can increase these parameters
by changing the following properties in the AMConfig.properties file.
-
Increase com.iplanet.am.event.connection.num.retries,
which represents the number of attempts. The default is 3 attempts.
-
Increase com.iplanet.am.event.connection.delay.between.retries, which represents the number of milliseconds delay between attempts.
The default is 3000 milliseconds.
- 6490853
-
If you run a search using JDBC data view configured with DB2
database and there are large number of entries to be returned in the search
result, an error might occur after returning 1344 entries.
To overcome this limitation, increase the number of large packages by
setting the value of the CLI/ODBC configuration keyword CLIPkg to a value up to 30. Even then the search
result is limited to maximum of 11712 Entries.
For more information, see DB2 documentation.

excluded subtree, or alternate search base.
- 6494540
-
After enabling or disabling non secure LDAP access for the
first time, you must restart Directory Proxy Server for the change to take effect.
- 6495395
-
Virtual directory macros using split do
not work properly.
- 6497547
-
Time limit and size limit settings work only with LDAP data
sources.
- 6497992
-
After using the command dpadm set-flags cert-pwd-store=off, Directory Proxy Server cannot be restarted using Directory Service Control Center.
- 6500298
-
When using the jvm-args flag of the dpadm command and restarting the server, you cannot successfully allocate
more than 2 GB memory for the Java virtual machine.
To work around this issue, use dpadm stop and dpadm
start instead of dpadm restart.
- 6501867
-
The dpadm start command has been seen to
fail when used with a server instance name combining both ASCII and multi-byte
characters.
- 6505112
-
When setting the data-view-routing-custom-list property
on an existing connection handler, an error occurs with data view names containing
characters that must be escaped, such as commas.
To work around this issue, do not give data views names that contain
characters that must be escaped. For example, do not use data view names containing
DNs.
- 6510583

Unlike previous versions, as stated in the manual page allowed-ldap-controls(5dpconf), Directory Proxy Server does not allow the server side
sort control by default.
You can enable Directory Proxy Server support for the server side sort control
by adding server-side-sorting to the list of allowed LDAP
controls specified by the allowed-ldap-controls property.
$ dpconf set-server-prop \
allowed-ldap-controls:auth-request \
allowed-ldap-controls:chaining-loop-detection \
allowed-ldap-controls:manage-dsa \
allowed-ldap-controls:persistent-search \
allowed-ldap-controls:proxy-auth-v1 \
allowed-ldap-controls:proxy-auth-v2 \
allowed-ldap-controls:real-attributes-only \
allowed-ldap-controls:server-side-sorting
|
Notice that you must repeat the existing settings. Otherwise, only the
server side sort control is allowed.

When using the DN renaming feature of Directory Proxy Server,
notice that repeating DN components are renamed to only one replacement component.
Consider for example that you want to rename DNs that end in o=myCompany.com to end in dc=com. For entries whose DN repeats
the original component, such as uid=userid,ou=people,o=myCompany.com,o=myCompany.com, the resulting renamed DN is uid=userid,ou=people,dc=com,
and not uid=userid,ou=people,o=myCompany.com,dc=com.

The JDBC connection configuration to access Oracle 9 through Directory Proxy Server might
not be as straightforward as shown in the documentation.
Consider the following configuration. You have an Oracle 9 server listening
on host myhost, port 1537 with the instance having system
identifier (SID) MYINST. The instance has a database MYNAME.MYTABLE.
Typically, to configure access through to MYTABLE,
you would set the following properties.
-
On the JDBC data source, set db-name:MYINST.
-
On the JDBC data source, set db-url:jdbc:oracle:thin:myhost:1537:.
-
On the JDBC table, set sql-table:MYNAME.MYTABLE.
If these settings do not work for you, try configuring access through
to MYTABLE with the following settings.
-
On the JDBC data source, set db-name:(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=MYINST))).
-
On the JDBC data source, set db-url:jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=myhost)(PORT=1537))).
-
On the JDBC table, set sql-table:MYNAME.MYTABLE.
- 6527010
-
Directory Proxy Server cannot write JDBC attributes implying many-to-many
(N:N) relationship between tables in the JDBC database.
- 6527869
-
Search doesn't work on a join view if using attributes from
secondary view in the search filter.
- 6539650
-
Directory Proxy Server instances with multi-byte DN and created
using DSCC, fail to start on Linux.
- 6542857
-
When you use Service Management Facility (SMF) in Solaris
10 to enable a server instance, the instance might not start when you reboot
your system.
As a workaround, add the following lines which are marked with + to /opt/SUNWdsee/ds6/install/tmpl_smf.manifest.
...
restart_on="none" type="service">
<service_fmri value="svc:/network/initial:default"/>
</dependency>
+ <dependency name="nameservice" grouping="require_all" \
+ restart_on="none" type="service">
+ <service_fmri value="svc:/milestone/name-services"/>
+ </dependency>
<exec_method type="method" name="start"
exec="%%%INSTALL_PATH%%%/bin/dsadm start --exec %{sunds/path}"...

On Linux, the localized server messages shown in the DSCC progress
window might display the international characters garbled in the Japanese
locale.

-
If duplicate entries are present in RDBMS table matching a
DN pattern found in JDBC object class, then duplicate subtree (non-leaf) nodes
would be returned by Directory Proxy Server when search is performed against the
JDBC data view. For example, if there is a DN pattern ou in
a JDBC object class and there are duplicate entries (say, sales)
present in the RDBMS column mapped to JDBC attribute ou,
then there would be duplicate nodes like ou=sales present
in the search result.
To resolve this issue, do the following:
-
Create an RDBMS view by taking the values from the table that
contains the column mapped to ou JDBC attribute in such
a way that there are no duplicated entries.
-
Replace the RDBMS table name with the RDBMS view name in the
JDBC object class with the DN pattern ou. The limitation
of this approach is that since RDBMS views are read-only, no values for the
JDBC attribute ou could be added through Directory Proxy Server.
