In versions of Directory Proxy Server prior to Directory Proxy Server 5 2005Q4, requests from unauthenticated clients cannot change network group. In Directory Proxy Server 5 2005Q4, requests from unauthenticated clients can change network group.
An authenticated client is not the same as an anonymous client. The first operation from an anonymous client is a bind operation with a zero-length name string. The first operation from an unauthenticated client is not a bind, it is another LDAP operation such as a search operation. Requests from unauthenticated clients are classified into a special network group.
In Directory Proxy Server 5 2005Q4, requests from unauthenticated clients can be reclassified into a different network group. This feature is available through the following object class and attributes:

Known Issues and LimitationsThis section describes the known issues and limitations of Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server 5.2 2005Q4 for HP-UX:
After Startup Directory Proxy Server Does Not Automatically Listen on the Network (4818122)
When Directory Proxy Server is started by the command line, it does not automatically listen on the network. If SSL mode is activated, you must provide a token and password to start SSL. When the token request has been satisfied, Directory Proxy Server can listen on the network.
Workaround
None
Cannot Rename an Object With a Previously Used Name (4863003)
An object cannot be renamed with a previously used name. For example, an object cannot be named and renamed as follows:
This limitation applies to all named properties of the object, including the configuration name.
Workaround
To avoid the problem, use a new name to rename an object. To resolve the problem, quit and restart the console.
Duplicate Configurations Caused by Renaming Configurations With the Console (4923242)
If you use the Directory Proxy Server Console to rename a Directory Proxy Server configuration a duplicate configuration name is created.
Workaround
To clone a configuration, create a new configuration and copy all of the values from the original configuration to the new configuration.
BIND/UNBIND Is Performed for Each Referral (4943985)
Instead of reusing existing connections to the backend LDAP servers, Directory Proxy Server performs a BIND/UNBIND for each referral. This issue causes a reduction in performance if the backend server is on a Wide Area Network.
Workaround
None
Cannot Follow Referrals in BIND Requests (4951403)
When a bind request is made by the Directory Proxy Server to another server, a DN is returned. However, the Directory Proxy Server does not use the returned DN to connect to the server. Instead, the Directory Proxy Server uses the original DN. The bind request does not work.
Workaround
This feature is a limitation for bind requests only. This feature is not a limitation for search requests, modify requests, and other requests.
Remote Instance Fails to Start From the Console When SSL Is Enabled (4961059)
When SSL is enabled in a remote instance of Directory Proxy Server, you cannot use the console to start or restart the instance. The console displays a message that there is no PIN file present.
Workaround
Install a PIN file on the console side, using the same path that is used server side.
Cannot Start Directory Proxy Server Console (5041840)
If the Administration Server is started before the Configuration Directory Server after installation, the Directory Proxy Server cannot access the Administration Server. In this scenario, the Directory Proxy Server console cannot be started correctly.
Workaround
Start the Configuration Directory Server before starting the Administration Server.
Console Hangs When Directory Proxy Server Configuration Is Renamed (6295155)
The console hangs if the configuration name is changed by using the console.
