What's new in Univention Corporate Server 4.1-2
Release highlights of Univention Corporate Server 4.1-2 include the latest Apache, OpenSSL and GNU C Library (Glibc) packages, improvements to the Active Directory Connector, which now uses the Active Directory (AD) standard interfaces to sync the password hashes, thus deprecating the Windows password synchronization service.
The Samba 4.3.7 update is also available in today's release of the Debian-based Univention Corporate Server operating system, improving counting of login attempts. Moreover, the Univention Management Console (UMC) should work a lot better when accessed from mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets.
Lastly, Univention Corporate Server 4.1-2 adds significant improvements to the module used for managing the Domain Name System (DNS) setting in the serer-oriented operating system, along with improvements to the presentation of apps in Univention App Center (UAC), in particular, the display of their license terms.
Univention Corporate Server 4.1-2 is available for download right now via our website, but existing users need only to make sure that all the updates released on the distribution's main software repositories are installed.
