The Apache Directory™ Project

The Apache Directory Team is proud to announce the availability of the 1.0.0-M12 version of the Apache Directory LDAP API.

The Apache Directory LDAP client API is an ongoing effort to provide an enhanced LDAP API, as a replacement for JNDI and the existing LDAP API (jLdap and Mozilla LDAP API).

This is a schema aware API, with some convenient ways to access a LDAP server. This API is not only targeting the Apache Directory Server, but should work pristine with any LDAP server.

It's also an extensible API : new Controls, schema elements and network layer could be added or used in the near future. It's also OSGi capable.

In this milestone, we have fixed some issues, some of them being critical:

Here is the release note for Apache Directory LDAP API 1.0.0-M12:

Bugs :

• DIRAPI-82 Loading class file as stream under Windows bugged
• DIRAPI-83 - Debug logging causes never ending loop when decoding messages
• DIRAPI-84 - API fails to preserve the UP name of the attribute in a normalized DN
• DIRSHARED-53 - Review RequestID processing
• DIRSHARED-134 - Missing artifact org.apache.directory.jdbm:apacheds-jdbm2:bundle:2.0.0-M1 when depending on apacheds-server-jndi

Improvement :

• DIRSHARED-128 - Update the samba schema with samba version 3 elements

Feel free to experiment, we highly appreciate your feedback !

The Apache Directory team is pleased to announce the release of ApacheDS 2.0.0-M6, the sixth milestone toward a 2.0 version.

ApacheDS is an extensible and 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.

Here is the release note for Apache Directory ApacheDS 2.0.0-M6:

• DIRSERVER-1644 - User provided value is not retained during rename operation
• DIRSERVER-1681 - adding entries with attribute userCertificate;binary fails with "No such attribute"
• DIRSERVER-1692 - Unable to add a JPEG image to an entry due to an 'Invalid Attribute Syntax' error
• DIRSERVER-1693 - Renaming an entry when the RDN uses a case insensitive AT should be possible
• DIRSERVER-1694 - Renaming an existing entry with a DN containing upper cased chars will not store the CN as provided
• DIRSERVER-1696 - Creation of an entry like cn=test1+cn=test2, ou=system should not be allowed
• DIRSERVER-1699 - DN/RDN handling is incorrect when there are some escaped values into them
• DIRSERVER-1700 - Version in Root DSE is reported as '$pom.version'

Note that this is a milestone, and some parts of the API or configuration can change before the 2.0 GA. We don't have any defined time frame for the 2.0-G1 release, we do expect to release a few more milestones before reaching the 2.0-GA.
