OpenDJ LDAP Directory Services update

LudoLeave a comment

FR_plogo_org_FC_openDJ-300x86The new version of ForgeRock Directory Services, based on OpenDJ 3.0, was released in January and I’ve already written about the new features here, here and here.

We’ve now started the development of the next releases. We’ve updated the high level roadmap on our wiki, to give you an idea of what’s coming.

The last few weeks have been very active, as you can see on our JIRA dashboard.

There are already a few new features and enhancements in the master branch of our GIT repository :

A Bcrypt password storage scheme. The new scheme is meant to help migration of user accounts from other systems, without requiring a password reset. Bcrypt also provide a much stronger level of security for hashing passwords, as it’s number of iteration is configurable. But since OpenDJ 2.6, we are already providing a PBKDF2 password storage scheme which is recommended over Bcrypt by OWASP, for securing passwords.

Some enhancements of our performance testing tools, part of the OpenDJ LDAP Toolkit. All xxxxrate tools have a new way of computing statistics, providing more reliable and consistent results while reducing the overhead of producing them.

Some performance enhancements in various areas, including replication, group management, overall requests processing…

If you want to see it by yourself, you can checkout the code from our GIT repository, and build it, or you can grab the latest nightly build.

Play with OpenDJ and let us know how it works for you.

OpenDJ Nightly Builds…

LudoLeave a comment

For the last few months, there’s been a lot of changes in the OpenDJ project in order to prepare the next major release : OpenDJ 3.0.0. While doing so, we’ve tried to keep options opened and continued to make most of the changes in the trunk/opends part, keeping the possibility to release a 2.8 version. And we’ve made tons of work in branches as well as in trunk/opendj. As part of the move to the trunk, we’ve changed the factory to now build with Maven. Finally, at the end of last week, we’ve made the switch on the nightly builds and are now building what will be OpenDJ 3, from the trunk.

For those who are regularly checking the nightly builds, the biggest change is going to be the version number. The new build is now showing a development version of 3.0.

We are still missing the MSI package (sorry to the Windows users, we are trying to find the Maven plugin that will allow us to build the package in a similar way as previously with ant), and we are also looking at restoring the JNLP based installer, but otherwise OpenDJ 3 nightly builds are available for testing, in different forms : Zip, RPM and Debian packages.

We have also changed the minimal version of Java required to run the OpenDJ LDAP directory server. Java 7 or higher is required.

We’re looking forward to getting your feedback.

OpenDJ on Windows…

LudoLeave a comment

OpenDJ LogoOpenDJ, the LDAP directory services in Java, is supported on multiple platforms and has been for many years. We’re testing on Linux, Windows, Solaris, Mac OS X, but also different JVMs: Oracle JRE, OpenJDK, Azul Zulu, IBM JVM…

With OpenDJ 2.6, we’ve made it easier for people to install it on Linux machines by providing RPM and Debian packages.

We are now also providing a MSI package to ease the installation and removal on Windows machines. The MSI package is available for nightly builds here.

Making OpenDJ easier for Linux, DevOps and the cloud…

LudoLeave a comment

packagerpm

I’ve recently made some changes on the OpenDJ nightly builds page and made available 2 new deliveries for OpenDJ : an RPM package and a Debian package.

The goal of providing native packages for OpenDJ is to make things much easier for the Linux system administrators and the DevOps  who want to deploy OpenDJ automatically, as well as for whoever wants to run OpenDJ in a VM in the cloud.

packagedeb

There has been several other efforts to build native packages for OpenDJ, here and there, but due to the structure of OpenDJ deliveries, you could not properly upgrade versions. The packages available with the nightly builds are taking advantage of the new upgrade mechanism that has been developed, allowing an easier and smoother migration from previous releases.

If you do use the packaged version, make sure you log any bugs you find in theOpenDJ issue tracker.

I’d like to thank Danny Turner for his great contributions to the OpenDJ native packaging.

OpenDS 2.3.0-build001 is now available…

LudoLeave a comment

In December, the team had released OpenDS 2.2.0, a stable release of the LDAP directory server written for the Java platform. While the quality assurance team was testing and making sure the level of quality and reliability was there, the developers continued to add features on the trunk.

So today, I’m happy to announce the promotion of OpenDS 2.3.0-build001, the first development build on the path to OpenDS 2.4, a stable release currently planned for Summer 2010.

OpenDS 2.3.0-build001 is built from revision 6353 of our source tree and contains 2 major features :

  • The import code has been refined to improve performances, especially with very large data set. Tests have been run with 1,000,000,000 entries and the file imported in about 40 hours.
  • This version of OpenDS provides support for Subentries in LDAP [RFC 3672] and Collective Attributes for LDAP [RFC 3671]. In addition to the support of the Collective attribute standard, OpenDS supports a more user friendly notation, allowing to make use of Collective attribute definitions with standard attributes. More on this subject in a future article, although if you want to understand how to use it, Anton already wrote a description on the OpenDS Wiki.

These 2 features are just started to be seriously tested by the OpenDS team, so they cannot be considered as fully stable yet. There are already some issues being investigated, with the rebuild-index and verify-index commands. If you do find an issue with this OpenDS build, please report it in Issue Tracker.

The direct link to download the core server is: http://www.opends.org/promoted-builds/2.3.0-build001/OpenDS-2.3.0-build001.zip

  • Multiple improvements on the Control Panel and the Setup including display of equivalent command-line commands, cosmetic aspects, messages, referral handling…
  • Multiple incremental improvements with the External Changelog, including reliability and performance
  • Revision 6190 – Upgraded the version of the Berkeley DB Java Edition to 4.0.73
  • Revision 6192 (Issue #4360) – Improves responsiveness of the OpenDS server when hammered with large searches and slow clients
  • Revisions 6198, 6209 (Issue #4371) – Solves an issue with PKCS12 certificates that do not have alias
  • Revision 6208 (Issue #4373) – Improves time to start the replication service
  • Revision 6292 (Issue #3601) – Adds the ability to update or delete schema attribute types and object classes definitions in the Control Panel

Opends Logo TagThe OpenDS development team is very pleased to announce the immediate availability of OpenDS 2.0.0-RC3, the third and probably last release candidate for OpenDS 2.0.

OpenDS 2.0 has a number of new features over OpenDS 1.2.0 that was released in February 2009 :

  • A new mode for Multi-Master Replication providing greater consistency and availability of data: Assured Replication
  • Recurring tasks allow an administrator to schedule repeated tasks such as backups
  • New extensible matching rules and indexing allowing comparing, ordering of data according to specific locales and languages
  • Better monitoring information for the server and for Replication
  • Full compliance with RFC 4518 and matching of UTF-8 in attributes with a DirectoryString syntax
  • VLV indexes are now built during the Import
  • Several improvements in the Control Panel
  • Works with IBM JVM (Java 6 SR4 required)
  • Works by default with JConsole and VisualVM when JMX Connection Handler is enabled
  • Default settings and ergonomics have been improved reducing the need for tuning parts of the server
  • Greatly improved performances and stability over time of those performances
  • Resolved a possible security issue when Pre-ReadEntry, Post-ReadEntry and Assertion Controls were enabled

Overall, over 170 issues have been fixed.

The purpose of the Release Candidate is to solicit one last round of testing before the final release.

So please test the OpenDS release with your client applications, in your environment or on your favorite platform.

Our quality team will be doing the same during the next 2 to 3 weeks.

If you do find a bug, please report it with Issue Tracker.

We welcome feedback. Please report you experience with OpenDS on our mailing lists, or on #opends IRC channel on Freenode.
