Univention, through Maren Abatielos, had the great pleasure of informing Softpedia about the immediate availability for download of the second point release of their Debian-based Univention Corporate Server 4.0 Linux operating system.

Univention Corporate Server 4.0-2 is here to bring one of the most anticipated features for this server-oriented OS, Docker integration. The container virtualization Docker application has been added to Univention Corporate Server, allowing users to run Docker containers on UCS systems.

Univention Corporate Server 4.0-2 is also the first release of Univention Corporate Server to offer UCS Docker images. More details about how to install them can be found in the Univention Wiki. Also, a separate tutorial is now provided for those who want to build Apps for the Univention App Center.

"Today, we released UCS 4.0-2 with many improvements and new features, such as a Docker integration," says Maren Abatielos for Softpedia. "It includes all errata updates issued for UCS 4.0-1 and comprises numerous highlights."

The Univention Corporate Server license has been changed

Another important change in Univention Corporate Server 4.0-2 is the inclusion of the UCS Core Edition license, which replaces the Free for Personal Use license that was used in previous versions of UCS, and allows the usage of the operating system in commercial environments without extra charge.

Among other features brought by the Univention Corporate Server 4.0-2 update, we can mention design and usability improvements for Univention Management Console, improved Active Directory compatibility, as well as support for several additional settings in the Apache and Postfix servers related to encryption.

Last but not least, unattended installation mode has been implemented in UCS, an issue with the resolution of SIDs with NetApp Storage Systems has been addressed, and support for automatic configuration of Apps installed on remote systems has been implemented.
