LinID

We are proud to announce a new release of LinID OpenLDAP Manager.

LinID OM is a graphical web console dedicated to OpenLDAP configuration (using cn=config backend). This allows administrator to edit OpenLDAP configuration with a simple web browser, without any other access to the server (no OpenLDAP restart needed on configuration update).

LinID OM is released under AGPLv3.

This new version corrects a big bug introduced in 0.5, that prevent the use of the monitor backend. Other little bugs have been fixed and the new features are:

• Migration on new frameworks (LinID DM 2.0 / Tapestry 5.3.2 / JQuery 1.8)
• Schema configuration management

The full roadmap can be seen here: http://www.linid.org/versions/show/27

Follow documentation to know how install and run it: http://www.linid.org/projects/linid-om/wiki

LinID OM is a graphical web console dedicated to OpenLDAP configuration (using cn=config backend). This allows administrator to edit OpenLDAP configuration with a simple web browser, without any other access to the server (no OpenLDAP restart needed on configuration update). LinID OM is released under AGPLv3.

This release is a first step for this software, as for now only some configuration items are managed:

• Global configuration
• Frontend configuration
• Backends and overlays configuration

Particularly, LinID OM is not able to:

• Edit LDAP schema (branch cn=schema,cn=config)
• Edit modules (branch cn=modules,cn=config)

We would like to thank all contributors for their help:

• Sébastien BAHLOUL (founder of the project)
• François ARMAND
• Raphaël OUAZANA
• Clément OUDOT

Please read LinID OpenLDAP Manager documentation to go further.

LinID DM 1.0 was released today, to set our different artifact version and start the migration to Tapestry 5.3, planned for version 2.0.

LinID DM 1.0 is the collection of the following artifacts:

• authorization 0.8
• core 1.3
• linid-dm-parent 1.0
• sample 0.8
• wui 0.8

Latest LinID Directory Manager is now fully runnable under a Windows environment.

You can try it through the latest build file

LinID Directory Server now contains some patches that you will find interesting for your directory usage :

• Extended password policy check
• Patch adding non ascii matching rule (accents, cedile, ...) for OpenLDAP 2.3.37
• Patch allowing search upon DN with substring filters
• Patch adding support for multiple VLV search contexts per connection for OpenLDAP HEAD (2.4)

You will find more information on the [[Index_LinID-DM|documentation page]]. Migration from third party Directory Services will now be much more easier with these support :)

Next published patch will be Get Effective Rights support as described in the corresponding draft is under finalization.

I will be presenting LinID Directory Manager next Wednesday (9/07) at 10PM in 11th RMLL at Bordeaux in France.

If anyone here is interested, do come by and say hi!

To complete the demonstration availibility, you will find the downloadable archive with an embedded installer at the following location :
download section

With this installer, you can try LinID Directory Manager in 5 minutes on any Unix system (either Linux or Unix) with a Sun JDK6. Just start the wizard and follow the different sections. Then start it through the linid-dm.sh provided script and go to http://localhost:8080/ to try the administrative interface with the "jdoe" account with "secret" password.

LinID Directory Manager application will be shortly available, but for now you can test the sample at the following location : http://build.linid.org/linid-dm-snapshot/ with either jdoe (administrator) or jsmith (user) as login and secret as password.

Because LINAGORA, LinID Directory Manager editor has now its own forge and build system, old InterLDAP project has been moved today to http://svn.linid.org/svn/linid-dm/

Further development will be done on this SVN and will remain distributed under Affero GPL v3 license.
