These services include 24/7 support via phone and email, customised installations/tuning of Dante, development, porting and embedding. The Dante software consists of two parts, packed into one archive: 1) The server part, supporting SOCKS v4 and SOCKS v5. 2) The client (socksify) part, supporting SOCKS v4, SOCKS v5, HTTP v1.0, and UPnP. In addition to standard SOCKS authentication methods, Dante includes the following additional methods: - BSD Authentication (OpenBSD). - LDAP. - PAM. - RFC931 ("ident"). This release is mainly a bugfix release, but also adds much desired LDAP authentication to the existing LDAP module, and also PAC support. Existing LDAP module users may contact us for a free upgrade. Changes in this release include the following: Generic changes: o RHEL8 build fix. Patch and bug report from Alexey Svistunov . Server changes: o LDAP module functionality expanded with support for PAC and LDAP based authentication. Developed by Markus Moeller . o Fix an error case where the Dante mother process would never terminate a request process that failed handling a client due to resource shortage, leading the request process to hang around idle forever. Will hopefully fix problem reported by ANON. o Fix for BSD authentication ECHILD error on OpenBSD. Client changes: o Work around an issue where "logoutput: syslog" in the client could create issues for the application being socksified. Fixes customer-SID 1613386077. o Added missing NULL argument check in Raccept(). Problem reported by Kosby, Ray B. . See the NEWS file for a more complete list of changes. Known problems: see the BUGS file. Users upgrading from previous versions of Dante: see the UPGRADE file. For more information about Dante, please see "http://www.inet.no/dante/".
