Patch Name: PHSS_28833 Patch Description: s700_800 11.X OV SIP3.0 Prevent blank passwords Creation Date: 03/03/10 Post Date: 03/03/18 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 11.00 11.11 s800: 11.00 11.11 Products: OpenView Service Information Portal 3.0 Filesets: HPOVSIP.OVSIP,fr=B.01.00,fa=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64,v=HP Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Category Tags: defect_repair general_release Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHSS_28833 Symptoms: PHSS_28833: If the LDAP server is configured to allow anonymous bind then a SIP user can log in by leaving the password field blank. PHSS_28082: When SIP is configured to use Microsoft SiteServer as its LDAP server, SIP fails to authenticate, instead it hangs when trying to connect to the LDAP server. Defect Description: PHSS_28833: There was no check for blank passwords in the LDAP code Resolution: A check for blank password has been added. PHSS_28082: SIP implementation of LDAP attempts to bind to the LDAP server using default version ie. it uses LDAP version 3. If this attempt fails then it fails over to LDAP version 2. SiteServer however supports only version 2 and does not return any error messages when connected using version 3. This causes SIP to hang. Resolution: LDAPAuthenticationProvider has been enhanced so that now the user can specify which version of LDAP to use while connecting to the LDAP server. Thus for connecting to a SiteServer, the user can specify version 2 in the LDAP.xml file.
