Hello,
For many years now we have been offering Rust plugins, and for those that build the server themselves it was possible to disable Rust if it was not wanted. This is no longer going to be an option starting in the next release of 389-ds-base-2.2 (On Fedora 37). We are upgrading the default password storage schema to the Rust password storage scheme PBKDF2_SHA256 for its improved security and performance over the C/NSS version (PBKDF2-SHA256). We are also going to be incorporating Rust into core parts of the server. So leaving Rust optional is no longer going to be an option.
Sorry for the inconvenience this will impose on people not wanting to build with Rust, but this is the direction we are moving in with the 389 project.
Feel free to ask any questions or voice concerns over this change, and we will do our best to address them.
Sincerely,
389-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
