Directory Server 10

Summary

See Knowledge Base article 1013699 for a list on changes in 10.

Laserfiche Directory Server 10 controls licensing and activation for Laserfiche products in a Laserfiche Rio installation. An administrator can generate application licenses for available Laserfiche applications, can allocate available licenses to user accounts, and perform other actions involving license administration.

Laserfiche Directory Server 10 can also provide user authentication for Laserfiche 10 products. This allows single sign-on across Laserfiche Web Access 10, Laserfiche Forms 10, Laserfiche Mobile 10, and Laserfiche Social BPM 10. For example, a user can sign in to Web Access and be automatically signed in when viewing Laserfiche Forms.

Directory Server administration is available through an administration website.

Service Pack and Hotfix Information

There are no current updates for Directory Server 10.

Upgrade Information

Directory Server 10 can be installed over existing Directory Server 9 and License Manager 8.3.1 installations.

When creating a Directory Server licensing site, you have the option of importing data from a License Manager 8 database into the new Directory Server licensing site. The import process will migrate registered application information, named users license assignments, and version 8.3.x Active Directory group synchronization rules into the Directory Server site.

Known Issues

  • 1013748 In certain situations, Directory Server could prevent users from signing in with Windows authentication. Users would receive a "The user account or password is incorrect. [9010]" error message when signing in through Windows authentication. (138520)
  • 1013724 A "The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "directory objects providers fk" Error Occurs When Creating a Directory Server 10 Licensing Site. (137922)
  • Default Microsoft Edge settings may prevent you from viewing the local Directory Server administration site when specifying the machine name or fully qualified domain name in the browser address bar. Using "localhost" as part of the address allows the site to display properly in Microsoft Edge. (135703)
  • Administrators must manually delete c:\programdata\laserfiche\LFDS\usersettings.config from each installation on failover nodes after configuring Directory Server for failover clustering support or automatic redirects upon failover may not function as expected. (136936)
  • Internet Explorer 10 version 10.0.9200.16844 may encounter issues with exporting user lists. This issue does not affect later versions of Internet Explorer 10. (137210)
  • Authenticated Active Directory accounts may be unable to sign in to WebLink Public Portal. To resolve this issue, add the appropriate Windows Active Directory account to the Directory Server site. Do not assign a user license to these accounts. (137455)
  • You may need to install Microsoft update https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2803748 in cluster configurations involving Windows Server 2012.
  • When Laserfiche Directory Server, Laserfiche Server, and the SQL Server instance hosting the licensing database are all installed on the same computer, in certain reboot situations, Directory Server may report that the licensing database could not be found while the SQL Server instance is still loading up. This can then prevent the Laserfiche Server service from starting up. (128001)
  • Attribute CSV exported from LFDS thows "File is partly broken" on import. This happens because Windows blocks the file on export, so you have to manually open its properties and unblock it before the import succeeds. (120001)
  • When viewing the Laserfiche Directory Server Security Token Service configuration page locally, you may receive an HTTP 403.0 error. As a workaround, run the web browse as an administrator. (119847)
  • Manually installing .NET Framework 3.5 after Laserfiche Directory Server can overwrite existing IIS script mappings and prevent the Directory Server Web Administration Console from loading properly. Manually recreate the necessary .NET 4 mappings by using the .NET 4 version of aspnet_regiis.exe. (119192)
  • When installing Laserfiche Server 9.1 or earlier and registering against the Laserfiche Directory Server, you will be unable to allocate repository named users. As a workaround, register the application and generate the license from the Laserfiche Directory Server administration site. (119074)
