Release 0.8.3 of nss-pam-ldapd
2011-05-13
This is an update for the 0.8 series that fixes some bugs and introduces
some new features. The 0.8 series remains in development mode and several
more bigger changes, enhancements and new features are planned.
Users that require a stable release are encouraged to stay with 0.7 until
0.8 stabilises.
A summary of the changes since 0.8.2:
- support using the objectSid attribute to provide numeric user
and group ids, based on a patch by Wesley Mason
- check shadow account and password expiry properties (similarly to what
pam_unix does) in the PAM handling code
- implement attribute mapping functionality in pynslcd
- relax default for validnames
option to allow user names of only two characters
- make user and group name validation errors a little more informative
- small portability improvements
- general code improvements and refactoring in pynslcd
- some simplifications in the protocol between the PAM module and nslcd
(without actual protocol changes so far)
- Debian packaging improvements
