ApacheDS 2.0.0.AM27 released posted on October 21th, 2023

The Apache Directory team is pleased to announce the release of ApacheDS 2.0.0.AM27, the 27th milestone towards 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.

This is a major and long expected release of ApacheDS. It brings many bug fixes (29). We focused on fixing issues with newer versions of Java (11 and 17 are now supported), migrating Junit tests to version 5, mitigating the Log4j security vulnerability.

The Kerberos subsystem has been removed from the server, as Apache Kerby is already providing a maintained and updated Kezrberos server.

It uses the Apache LDAP API 2.1.5 release, and TLS 1.3 is now supported.

ApacheDS 2.0.0.AM26 released posted on March 7th, 2020

The Apache Directory team is pleased to announce the release of ApacheDS 2.0.0.AM26, the 26th milestone towards 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.

This is a major release of ApacheDS. It brings many bug fixes, and is the first version implementing LDAP transactions, which are now used internally for atomic operations, but can also be used through an extended operation, to apply many operations in one transaction. We also have changed the Cache system we were using (ehcache) to use the more efficient and lighter Caffeine. Otherwise, we don’t anymore store certificates in the server by default, but use an external keystore.

We can’t anymore produce the Mac OSX installer package, we are working on finding a solution for that issue (Apple deprecated the MakePackage tool and is now applying way more stringent checks and controls for packages, like and Apple signature). This will most certainly be fixed in the next revision.

It uses the Apache LDAP API 2.0.0 release

Here is the release note for Apache Directory ApacheDS 2.0.0.AM26:

Bugs :

  • DIRSERVER-1414 - Normalization is not handling correctly (but this has no impact)

This is a major release of ApacheDS.

It uses the Apache LDAP API 2.0.0.AM1 release, which itself brings a lot of improvements and bug fixes.

But the major improvement is the cross-indexes transaction support that has been added, which is expecting to solve the database corruption issue we are facing for years.

Here is the release note for Apache Directory ApacheDS 2.0.0.AM25:

Bugs :

  • DIRSERVER-2109 - Apply LDIF with special crafted DN creates two CN attributes

ApacheDS 2.0.0-M24 released posted on June 7th, 2017

The Apache Directory team is pleased to announce the release of ApacheDS 2.0.0-M24, the 24th milestone towards 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.

This is mainly a maintenance release, and it’s needed to be able to release Studio with many fixes related to the server itself. The main fixes are related to SyntaxCheckers, which are now immutable, and the switch to LDAP 1.0.0 which fixes a critical SSL issue. Otherwise, the ‘repair’ command has been fixed, and a thread leak has been fixed.

In order to repair the database, one has just to start the server passing the ‘repair’ command to the apacheds script, instead of the ‘start’ command. The server will start after having repaired the database.

Here is the release note for Apache Directory ApacheDS 2.0.0-M24:

Bugs :

  • DIRSERVER-2190 - there is thread leak when did following operations: ADD,DELETE,MODIFY,MOVE,RENAME
  • DIRSERVER-2173 - Linux binary installation fails because RUN_AS_GROUP not used in chown commands
  • DIRSERVER-2121 - ApacheDS fails to start after upgrading to 2.0.0-M21
