Required patch id 112396-03 does not exist. The patch #112396-03 listed as `required' in earlier release notes was incorrect. There is only #112396-02 patch, which fixes the BugId #4498984 (*fgrep* fails with `wordlist too large' for some older version of OS patchadd command). The correct patch number is: 112396-02. Solaris users must have the Sun recommended patch cluster installed, available in the Recommended and Security Patches section at: http://sunsolve.sun.com Solaris 8 (SPARC)

|
4761188 |
LDAP: Improve LDAP dynamic group performance for ACL's. For performance reason, a new LDAP config parameter, `dyngroups fast' is introduced for SP2. With this config, Web Server will make assertion about group membership bypassing nested individuals among dynamic groups. For example, assuming that user `alpha' belongs to group `a', group `a' is a member of group `b' by group `b' memberURL definition (dynamic group), and your ACL only grants group `b' access. In such case, Web Server will deny access from `alpha' because `alpha' is not regarded as member of group `b'. If you want to support nested group in such case, don't define this new config for LDAP authentication service (you won't get performance gain consequently.) Sample config: directory: ldapregular ldap://localhost:389/o=TestCentral ldapregular: dyngroups fast |

Keep-alive subsystem should be dynamically tuned. The keep-alive subsystem requires tuning for optimal performance. In Web Server 6.0, this subsystem was tuned for heavy load and performs poorly when there are only a handful of concurrent keep-alive connections. The keep-alive subsystem was modified for Web Server 6.1 SP2 so it performs some dynamic tuning to accommodate the actual load. |

upload-file does not work correctly with chunked requests. |
|
4882838 |
Unable to specify protocol for URL in generated redirects. The server generates a self-referencing URL whenever it sends a redirect to a client. As of Web Server 6.1 SP1, the servername attribute of the LS element in server.xml can be used to configure the scheme used in server-generated self-referencing URLs. For example, if an SSL offloader sits between the Internet and the Web Server instance, decrypting SSL-encrypted traffic for www.sun.com and relaying it to the Web Server on port 8080, an LS element such as the following could appear in server.xml: <LS remap="ls1" port="8080" security="disabled"...servername="https://www.sun.com"/> The `https://' prefix in the servername value instructs the server to use the https scheme in self-referencing URLs even though the LS is not configured to handle SSL traffic. |

Missing quote in oracle script for jdbcRealm sample application. |

NSFC enhancement needed. Add the ReplaceFiles nsfc.conf directive. When ReplaceFiles=true (default), the existing file cache behavior is preserved. ReplaceFiles=false indicates that once a file is cached, its file cache entry should never be discarded to make room for another file; this is useful in benchmark scenarios because it allows us to eliminate contention on the hit list lock. |

Authorization dialog pops up for an unprotected directory without index file. Additional information: As for 6.1 SP1, if a directory does not have an index file such as index.html, index.jsp, home.html, etc, then while turning on ACL authentication anyone with read and write permission are denied the list access even though this directory is unprotected. Workaround: To revert back to the previous behavior of 6.1, change the default ACL so that anonymous users are allowed list privileges. Make the changes as follows: allow (read, execute, info, list) user = "anyone" |
4642650 |
Option needed to disable appending of absolute URL in servlet/JSP container. Fix details: New property added to sun-web.xml: relativeRedirectAllowed Default value: false Description: If true, allows the Web application to send a relative URL to the client using the HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect() API (that is, it suppresses the container from translating a relative URL to a fully qualified URL). |

Search engine does not extract and index FTS information from PDF files. Fix details: This fix applies to all supported platforms except Linux. The Author, Subject, and Keywords meta tags are always indexed. Functionality has been added that now allows arbitrary meta tags to be indexed, including those produced when converting the FTS_* attributes from PDF files. Manual configuration of a new setting in server.xml is required, as described below.
Note – See issue 4956415 in the Search section for details about displaying custom meta tag information in search results. |

ASN.1 parsing issue in SSL. A problem has been identified in the implementation of the SSL protocols used by the Web Server that may be exploited as a Denial of Service attack.
