Changelog
nss-ldapd (0.6.2) unstable; urgency=low
* all user and group names are now checked for validity are specified in the
POSIX Portable Filename Character Set
* support retrieval of ranged attribute values as sometimes returned by
Active Directory (closes: #476454)
* added the threads keyword to configure the number of threads that should
be started in nslcd
* handle empty netgroups properly (closes: #478764)
* change the time out and retry mechanism for connecting to the LDAP server
to return an error quickly if the LDAP server is known to be unavailable
for a long time (this removed the reconnect_tries option and changes the
meaning of the reconnect_sleeptime and reconnect_maxsleeptime options)
(closes: #474174)
* increased the time out values between the NSS module and nslcd because of
new retry mechanism
* implement new dict and set modules that use a hashtable to map keys
efficiently
* use the new set to store group membership to simplify memory management
and eliminate duplicate members (closes: #474218)
* the uniqueMember attribute now only supports DN values
* implement a cache for DN to user name lookups (15 minute timeout) used for
the uniqueMember attribute to save on doing LDAP searches for groups with
a lot of members, based on a patch by Petter Reinholdtsen
(closes: #478267)
* only guess default search base in package configuration if the value
doesn't seem to be preseeded (closes: #475830)
* improvements to the tests
* if any of the ldap calls return LDAP_UNAVAILABLE or LDAP_SERVER_DOWN the
connection is closed
* improve dependencies in LSB init script header to improve dependency based
booting (closes: #478807)
