This sounds basic, but it extends on IO102. Again, my notes:
- Probable beta in the next few weeks
- OES2 will not install on SLES10, only on SLES10 sp1
- This was done for Product Certification reasons, as was the fact that OES is an 'add on' to SLES
- Most of OES2 is still 32-bit code. Parts with kernel interaction will be 64-bit.
- Shipping on DVD media, though the OES add-on will be CD.
- It will use Novell Customer Center for updates
- http://www.novell.com/products/openenterpriseserver/partners for AV and Backup partners
- CASA is a new auth package, stores things. Also exists on the client
- NLDAP has been ported to openLDAP, in that the openLDAP community has accepted the patches submitted by Novell.
- The kernel in OES2 will be 2.6.16
- SMS allows backing up of Xen VMs
- eDir 8.8 comes with OES2, no word on eDir 8.7
- pureFTP is edir integrated
- iManager 2.7 comes with JRE1.5
- iManager WILL be ported to NetWare, which means OES2-NetWare will also come with JRE1.5
- Samba new 'passdb' option = NDS_ldapsam
- Allows use of Universal passwords as a Samba password. Nifty.
- Tomcat 5 now, separate OES instance from the default SLES10 instance.
- New migration framework, script based from the looks of it.
- LAS, light auditing framework, new audit API
- NSS is instrumented to use it.
