This release features the following updates:
· See release notes for individual Centrify Suite packages.
The following sections describe common known issues or limitations associated with this release of Centrify Suite.
In addition to the known issues described in this section, you should review the details in the appropriate suite component release-notes.txt file and in the platform-specific release-notes-agent.txt file for the operating environments you support.
· adcheck reports failure on mount check when run using sudo
adcheck should be run by root, and one way to do this is for a non-root user to use sudo, for example:
sudo adcheck-<platform> -t os
If the user running sudo does not have /usr/sbin set in the path then the MOUNT check will fail, reporting that some filesystems in /etc/fstab are either not mounted or mounted improperly (REF#: 15664).
· Install.sh may fail on Ubuntu 10.04 and later
With Ubuntu 10.04 and later, installation of Centrify Suite may fail with a dependency for x11-ssh-askpass. If you encounter this issue you should restart Centrify Suite installation using the Custom (C) option, installing all necessary packages except Centrify OpenSSH. Then install Centrify OpenSSH separately using the dpkg package manager and specifying the --force-depends option on the command line (REF#: 18166).
· Upgrade Zone Provisioning Agent (ZPA) may show an error window
Under some conditions, "1628: Failed to complete installation." error window may display if ZPA is upgraded via the ZPA installer in the DirectManage32/64 folder. You need to uninstall ZPA and install it again. Auto-run does not show this error (REF#: 29558).
