The Apache Directory Project

The Apache Directory Project provides directory solutions entirely written in Java. These include a directory server, which has been certified as LDAP v3 compliant by the Open Group (Apache Directory Server), and Eclipse-based directory tools (Apache Directory Studio).

Project Vision

We strive to increase LDAP awareness, comfort and adoption to bring forth what we call the Modern LDAP Renaissance. Learn more about our vision here.

Directory Sub-Projects


Apache Directory Server
 
ApacheDS is an embeddable directory server entirely written in Java, which has been certified LDAPv3 compatible by the Open Group. Besides LDAP it supports Kerberos 5 and the Change Password Protocol. It has been designed to introduce triggers, stored procedures, queues and views to the world of LDAP which has lacked these rich constructs.

Apache Directory TripleSec
 
Triplesec is what you get when you combine 2-factor strong authentication with identity management. Triplesec is a strong identity management solution. A strong identity management server is used to centralize the management of authentication, authorization and auditing concerns in your applications while further protecting access to them using multiple factors for authentication.

Apache Directory Studio
 
The Studio is an LDAP client platform. It is composed of an Eclipse RCP Application and a set of plugins. Primarily it is built to be used with ApacheDS, but it should work with any LDAP server.

The Directory project at the Apache Software Foundation today introduced Apache Directory Studio 1.1.0 RC, the first major update of its Eclipse based LDAP Browser and Directory client.

The LDAP Browser plugin now supports reorganizing connections inside folders in the Connections View, a great improvement for grouping related connections together and keep the view clean. The Object Classes selection has been vastly improved when creating a new entry. Support for lowercased hash methods has also been added to the Password Editor.

The Schema Editor plugin has been improved by the addition of a hierarchical presentation to the Schema View, which displays the attribute types and object classes hierarchically. It supports key bindings to launch several actions (e.g. "Open in Type Hierarchy") and is now bundled with OpenLDAP 'core' schemas.

The Apache DS Configuration Editor now support the configuration of the latest version (1.5.1) of Apache DS.

Aside from these majors new features, a certain number of bug has been fixed, which make this version the more stable release of Apache Directory Studio ever.
