           Release Notes: InfoBroker Server Version 2.2 for Digital UNIX



              The following sections contain release notes for the
              InfoBroker Server V2.2.

        1.1 Server Release Notes

              o  The InfoBroker Server is Year 2000 compliant.

              o  The InfoBroker Server supports all variations of
                 Versions 1 and 2 of the LDAP protocol.

              o  The InfoBroker Server supports the following LDAP
                 functions: bind, search, add, modify, modifyrdn,
                 delete, unbind.

              o  The Version 2.2 installation process saves your Version
                 1.n oidtable.* files in /var/ibx.

                 If you customized your schema for the InfoBroker
                 Version 1.0 or 1.0A server, you can find your
                 customized oidtable.* files in /var/ibx. To customize
                 the schema for the InfoBroker Version 2.2, edit the .sc
                 files using information from the oidtable.* files as a
                 guide. See the InfoBroker Server Administration Guide
                 for more information regarding customizing your schema.

              o  The InfoBroker Server does not support attributes
                 that have object identifiers (OIDs) whose sub part
                 is greater than 4,294,967,295.

              o  When a server is already running on the system, the
                 InfoBroker startup command falsely reports having
                 started a second server daemon.

                 If you attempt to start the InfoBroker server when one
                 is already running on the system, the startup procedure
                 will not detect this and will falsely indicate that the
                 server has started. If you check the /var/ibx/ibx.log

        Release Notes: InfoBroker Server Version 2.2 for Digital UNIX
        1.1 Server Release Notes

                 file, you will see the following entry at the end of
                 the file:

                 Digital Equipment Corporation InfoBroker Server
                   V2.2 (Mon Feb 23 13:54:04 GMT 1998)
                 Began execution on Tue Feb 24 12:44:36 1998

                 Using X.500
                 Not able to connect on TCP
                 Not able to listen on DECnet for LDAP
                 Not able to listen on DECnet for DMW
                 Not able to connect on TCP

                 The 4 lines at the end indicate that the server was
                 unable to listen on any of its ports, due to the server
                 that is already running.

              o  If you specify a NULL string as the search-base
                 argument, the InfoBroker starts searching at the top of
                 the directory tree.

              o  The InfoBroker falsely reports the status of searches
                 that exceed the time limit.

                 A search request that exceeds the time limit before any
                 matches are discovered returns LDAP_NO_SUCH_OBJECT,
                 rather than LDAP_TIMELIMIT_EXCEEDED. If the X.500
                 DSA finds matching entries before the time limit is
                 exceeded, the matching entries are returned along with
                 the LDAP_TIMELIMIT_EXCEEDED error.

        1.2 Client API Library Release Notes

              The InfoBroker Client API Library attempts to bind using
              V2 of the LDAP protocol. If the bind fails for any reason,
              the client API library attempts to re-bind using V1.
              It attempts the re-bind transparently to the calling
              application.
