Open Directory and Password Server
- Adds a Network Information System (NIS) plug-in for Open Directory, allowing Mac OS X Server and clients to better integrate into this traditional Unix directory structure.
- Import tool (dsimportexport) performance improved when importing users with Password Server passwords.
- Note: Workgroup Manager is currently the only supported tool for exporting user and group information.
- LDAP connections now time out, operating more efficiently in high-volume networking environments. The default timeout value is two minutes. (Applies the LDAPv3 plug-in only.)
- New user accounts that have Password Server passwords and which are created by secondary administrators respect the "Disable login as of mm/dd/yyyy" option.
- Improved Password Server reliability and performance with DIGEST-MD5 authentication, especially after long server uptime.
- Improved performance for Password Server authentications.
