for instructions.

<listitem>
|
<para>The default DB cache size is now 50%, rather than 10%.</para>
|
<para>If you have multiple backends, configure cache sizes

accordingly.</para>

|
<para>Syntax checking has been added for certificate and country attribute
|
values. This affects applications updating those attribute values.
|
Applications updating country attribute values must now use Country String
|
syntax for example, which uses two-character codes from <link
|
xlink:show="new" xlink:href="http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes.htm">ISO
|
3166</link> such as <literal>US</literal> instead of full names such as

<literal>United States</literal>.</para>

<para>The following global ACI settings have changed.</para>

<para>OpenDJ directory server now allows any client to use the LDAP
|
Permissive Modify Request control, <literal>1.2.840.113556.1.4.1413</literal>,

by default for newly installed servers.</para>

<listitem>

<para>The "Anonymous read access" global ACI has changed. The list of

attributes that are not allowed has been changed to add

|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
<para>When you upgrade from earlier versions of OpenDJ, however, the
|
previous <literal>global-aci</literal> settings are not updated. To apply
|
the changes manually, change the relevant <literal>global-aci</literal>
|
settings by using the <command>dsconfig</command> command. An example of
|
how to change a <literal>global-aci</literal> property can be found in the
|
<citetitle>Administration Guide</citetitle>, <link xlink:show="new"

<para>For the SNMP Connection Handler, the default
|
<literal>security-agent-file</literal> has changed to
|
<filename>opendj-snmp.security</filename> (<link xlink:show="new"
|
xlink:href="https://bugster.forgerock.org/jira/browse/OPENDJ-982"
|
>OPENDJ-982</link>), and the upgrade process changes the file name. The
|
<literal>community</literal> has also changed to <literal>OpenDJ</literal>.
|
If the SNMP Connection Handler fails to start after upgrade, use the
|
<command>dsconfig</command> command to make sure that the

<literal>security-agent-file</literal> property is correctly set for your
|
installation.</para>
