Springdale/PUIAS 6.4 Now Available

[JP]

Good afternoon,

we just made Springdale/PUIAS 6.4 available on the main
springdale.princeton.edu/www.puias.princeton.edu site.

This release follows the 5.9 release in renames to Springdale - so new
name, new logos. Of course the big news is over 1000 package updates
(~1300 or so) with many goodies and new features. For further
information please check RH 6.4 release notes.

One small note on an issue we've seen during internal testing. New
versions of nss libraries have in effect blocked ssl connections to
sites/services using SSL certs with MD5 hash signatures. For example
if your ldap server is using such a certificate then sssd will stop
working. More info on:

http://www.dlt.com/content/rhel-64-potential-authentication-issues

but the solution that worked for us was to put:
export NSS_HASH_ALG_SUPPORT=+MD5
in /etc/sysconfig/init - though, of course, a better solution is to
get a new certificate, one safe from collision attacks...

Please don't hesitate to let us know of any issues.

Thanks,

Josko P.
