LDAP SSL/TLS changes

by

At this time, the department LDAP server ldap.eecs.berkeley.edu (aka ldap.cs.berkeley.edu) accepts implicit SSLv3 and TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 connections on port 636, and allow STARTTLS negotiation for the same protocols on port 389.

Beginning Tuesday, February 19th 2019 at 8am, our LDAP servers will no longer accept SSLv3 or TLSv1.0 connections. All clients must use TLS v1.1 or v1.2.

Please send any questions or problem reports to help@eecs.berkeley.edu.

Retiring amd.home.* NIS maps

by

For many years IDSG has published automount maps in both autofs format as well as amd. This was because some systems used autofs and some used amd. This is no longer the case – autofs is available on all our supported operating systems. Effective September 2018, the amd.home.eecs and amd.home.cs maps are now frozen (no new accounts are being added) and they will eventually be retired from NIS.

by

The SSL certificate on the Department’s jabber/xmpp server jabber.eecs.berkeley.edu expired at 5pm on April 23 2018. It was replaced around 6:45pm. During that window, people attempting to connect would have received an error that the SSL certificate was invalid.

The new certificate has these properties: * Serial Number: 00:de:f4:8a:a1:d8:0c:0b:69:88:21:b4:82:2c:d1:da:e2
* Expiration Date: Mar 27 23:59:59 2020 GMT
* SHA-256 Fingerprint 10:59:4E:2E:D1:37:7E:92:1D:0D:BE:3C:E1:72:CF:6A:5B:4C:62:55:88:59:0E:5F:CC:3A:51:1B:03:AB:B0:B8


My apologies for the brief outage.
