I’m happy to announce that a new revision of OpenDJ, the open source LDAP directory server in Java has just been released. OpenDJ 2.4.5 is an update release of the OpenDJ project and improves reliability with SSL connections, replication meta-data indexes and Java 7. The full details about the release have been posted in the OpenDJ 2.4.5 Release Notes. Note that if you upgrade from a previous version, the ds-sync-hist index must be rebuilt, prior to restart the server.

The release is built out of revision 7743 of the b2.4 branch of the code repository.

As usual, you can find every thing on the OpenDJ Downloads page:

• The Java WebStart Installer
• The Zip package (the SHA signature is here).
• The SVR4 package for Solaris users.
• The DSML gateway for those who want to provide a web service access to their LDAP directory server.

The draft documentation for OpenDJ, and more specifically the Administration Guide, has been updated on the OpenDJ project site, still on the track for an accurate, reviewed version for OpenDJ 2.5.

Feedback is important to us and you can participate on the IRC channel, the mailing lists or join our community.

Enjoy !
