1. New in Red Hat Directory Server 8.0
Directory Server 8.0 includes several new features for enhanced authentication and password
security, changed platform support, and support for IPv6 clients. Directory Server 8.0 also
introduces a new, standards-based filesystem architecture.
• Section 1.1, “Adaptation to Filesystem Hierarchy Standards”
• Section 1.2, “New Password Hashing Algorithms Support”
• Section 1.3, “Improved SASL Support for Kerberos Authentication”
• Section 1.4, “Enhanced Password Syntax Checking”
• Section 1.6, “Changed Platform Support”
• Section 1.5, “Support for IPv6”
1.1. Adaptation to Filesystem Hierarchy Standards
Directory Server 8.0 components have been split into multiple, separate components. Rather
than being installed into a single installation directory, Directory Server follows the Filesystem
Hierarchy Standard (FHS), which distributes the libraries and files. This new FHS layout more
closely integrates Directory Server with its base operating system and leverages existing
platform components, such as the Apache web server. The FHS layout will also minimize the
overhead of creating and deploying patches and updates.
1.2. New Password Hashing Algorithms Support
The existing SHA support in Directory Server has been extended to support for SHA-256,
SHA-384, SHA-512, and MD5 algorithms. These algorithms are used for hashed password
storage to offset any potential insecurities in the existing SHA-1 hashing algorithm.
1.3. Improved SASL Support for Kerberos Authentication
Directory Server 8.0 extends and strengthens its support for SASL authentication using the
