New Features

Integration with LDAP
---------------------
Ultraseek provides an ability to authenticate 
its users using LDAP server where user's 
access privileges are specified.

Configuring Ultraseek to use LDAP
---------------------------------
Use Server->Users->LDAP Server Spcification page 
to fill in two fields that control how Ultraseek 
users may map to LDAP users. First field is
LDAP Server URI. The LDAP Server URI tells Ultraseek 
how to connect to your ldap server. The format is:

protocol://hostname[:port]
where:
* protocol is either ldap or ldaps
* hostname is the hostname of the machine where you 
are running your ldap server
* port is the port number used by the ldap server, 
if it is not using the default (389 for ldap, 686 for ldaps)
Examples:

ldap://ldap.acme.com

ldap://ldaptest.acme.com:10389

ldaps://ldap.acme.com

Second field is LDAP DN Format String.
The LDAP DN Format String is a format string that controls 
how the Ultraseek user name is mapped to a LDAP DN.

Inside the format string, the section that looks like 
.%(user)s. will be replaced with the name of the Ultraseek 
user to create an LDAP DN. This section must appear or 
the LDAP DN will not contain the Ultraseek user name. 
The constructed LDAP DN must match the schema of your ldap server.

Example:

cn=%(user)s,dc=acme,dc=com

If you configure a user ultra and check the box that says 
to use LDAP, Ultraseek will authenticate the user by binding 
to your LDAP server using a DN of .cn=ultra,dc=acme,dc=com..

LDAP and Ultraseek Admin Users
------------------------------
There are two ways to configure an Ultraseek admin user 
to authenticate using LDAP. From the Server->Users pane:

1. Click the New button to create a new user, and check 
the box labeled "Password via LDAP?"

2. For existing users, click the Edit button, then check 
the box labeled "Password via LDAP?"

RELEASE NOTES FOR THE LINUX RELEASE

WARNING FOR INKTOMI SEARCH 4.1 and 4.2 LINUX USERS
--------------------------------------------------
Due to a change in the URL database format, users of Inktomi 
Search 4.1 and 4.2 on Linux will notice an error message after
upgrading the server.  Users upgrading from versions 4.0
or previous will not notice this.  If 4.1 or 4.2 URL databases 
are detected, the following log message will appear:

   Version 4.1 or 4.2 URL database file detected.  This is 
   incompatible with this version.  The URL database is being 
   backed up, then it will be erased.

The site will be revisited immediately.  Be aware that this
may cause extraneous documents to appear in the index that
have actually been removed from the site.  If this condition
is detected, clear the collection to remedy it.
