Ludo9 Comments

The OpenDS development team is very please to announce the availability of OpenDS 2.0.0 and it’s supported companion Sun OpenDS Standard Edition 2.0.

OpenDS is an LDAPv3 compliant Directory Service written entirely in Java. The 2.0 release has many new features since OpenDS 1.0 that was released a year ago:

• A graphical control panel that enables basic server and data administration is available and replaces the OpenDS 1.0 status-panel

• An administration connector manages all administration related traffic to the server. By separating user operations and administration operations, the administration connector ensure a better quality of service and simplify logging and monitotring

• Connections can be secured and encrypted with SASL mechanisms

• Access Control mechanism has been enhanced to control access based on the level of security of the connection

• The ;binary transfert option is now supported

• Standard schema files related to Solaris and OpenSolaris LDAP naming services are provided by default

• Setup and tools provide an enhanced support for the JCEKS keystore and alternate security providers

• 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

• 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

OpenDS 2.0.0 is a promotion of OpenDS 2.0.0 Release Candidate 4, built with revision 5492, to the stable and finalized version.

It can be installed with the Java WebStart QuickSetup or downloaded as a Zip file.

A DSML-to-LDAP Gateway is available as a War file.

Like for previous OpenDS releases, a snapshot of the documentation wiki has been setup. The documentation is still being verified and a few links might not be functional yet. We expect it to be finalized by the end of next week.

You can find more information about OpenDS 2.0 in the release notes.

For a supported version of OpenDS, please check the Sun OpenDS Standard Edition 2.0 home page or get it directly from Sun Download Center.

I’d like to address a special thank to our external contributors who have helped making this release a better release, especially Christian Brennsteiner for the German translation of messages, Tosiki Iga for the Japanese translation, D.J Hagberg for the performance enhancements, Andy Wang for the IBM JVM Support.

Thanks also to all users who have raised issues during the development phase, helping us with testing the server in ways we can’t.

This is a major milestone for the OpenDS project, but there is more to come… Make sure you check the Roadmap and you participate to it.

Lowering the bar for OpenDS Translation…

LudoLeave a comment

Opends Logo TagPavel Heimlich, also known as Hajma on in the OpenDS project and lead for many Translation projects, has gone through all of the OpenDS messages to figure out the ones that were still in use and important to translate. There is now a "simplified" OpenDS project in the Community Translation Interface that contains a 5th of the initial messages, making it easier and faster for the volunteers to translate OpenDS to their preferred language. There are currently on-going translation for chinese, french, german, japanese, korean, polish, portuguese, serbian and spanish, but new language projects can be initiated on demand.

If you’re interested, check the How To Guide.

FISL 10 Trip report

LudoLeave a comment

I’ve just spent a wonderful week in Porto Alegre, Brazil where I’ve landed to talk about OpenDS at the FISL 10 conference.

This is my first visit in Brazil and I must say that I didn’t get any good impression of the country in the first two days. As a matter of fact, I didn’t get any impression at all. I arrived on Monday evening around 9pm, it was all dark. After more than 16 hours of traveling, I just wanted to hit a bed.

On the Tuesday morning, thanks to the jet lag, I got up quite early, checked email and went for breakfast by 7am, noticing a rainy day and still pretty dark. I was just done with the breakfast when Bruno Souza arrived and took me to the location of the Javali meeting, an ancillary event of FISL, sponsored by Sun and organized by SOU Java and RS JUG.

We spent the whole day in the conference room, watching from time to time through the windows the heavy rain and wind. The Javali talks ended with pizzas and guarana and by then the night was already dark.

While I didn’t get to see how Porto Alegre looks like in the first days of my visit, I did enjoyed the friendliness of Brazilians. At Javali, trying to follow the presentations in Portuguese was though but I think I got probably 50% of the technical parts thanks to the mix of english words and to my understanding of Spanish. And when it was necessary, Bruno or Mauricio Leal would do some translation for us.

I didn’t get to talk at Javali, the agenda was pretty full and I hadn’t told Bruno I would be coming as I wasn’t sure I could make it. But Pat Patterson presented Securing RESTful Web Services with OpenSSO (and OAuth) and mentioned a few times OpenDS.

LP0_1036

LP0_1039Wednesday was the first day of FISL and all the Sun participants went quite early to help setting up the booth in the Exhibition Hall. Sun’s booth was very well located and its main attraction was the thousands of small soccer balls that were given to attendees that registered to the OSUM program. I think that throughout the whole event, the Sun’s booth was the most vibrant and busy one, with Roger Brinkley making demos with his toys, Angel Camacho, Brian Leonard, Kirthankar Das and others helping with installs of OpenSolaris on attendees’ laptops.

Arun Gupta fired the event on Wednesday morning with his presentation demonstrating the combined power of GlassFish, MySQL and NetBeans to build web applications.

Friday was the busiest day for me as I was scheduled for 2 presentations. But before that, I was invited to participate in Simon Phipps talk show, describing in 5 minutes, what was OpenDS, what were the benefits for the Brazilian open source users and developers.

Fisl10 Simontalk

Immediately after, and in the same room, I did my presentation for OpenDS with the theme of "Scaling the Identity Store with OpenDS". The sessions talked about the 3 models we have in OpenDS for deployment :

  • Embedded in Java applications,
  • Standalone replicated servers,
  • LDAP Front-end access to MySQL Cluster’s network DB.

While FISL is mostly attended by students, my session had a majority of System Administrators, interested by simplifying and reducing the cost of their data-centers.

Ludo speaking

Later in the afternoon, I was presenting again, repeating JavaOne’s presentation from Tony Printezis and Charlie Hunt GC Tuning In the HotSpot Java Virtual Machine. Charlie was meant to attend the event, but the week before found out he could not make it. As they recalled I was in the room at JavaOne and I’m quite familiar with the subject as we’re spending a lot of time trying the different options to tune the JVM to get the best performances out of OpenDS, they asked me to cover the talk. I think I’ve done a reasonable job, despite the density of information in the slides, and the simultaneous translation in Portuguese for the largest part of the crowd not so familiar with English.

Still on Friday, part of the exhibition floor was closed to the public as the Brazilian President, Lula Da Silva, was schedule to visit the event. Sun booth was very well positioned, on the border on the closed area and the crowd started to gather by the booth as President Lula arrived. The excitement was amazing. When the President reached by the OpenSolaris Brazil user group, he received an OpenSolaris cap and T-shirt from Vitorio Sassi, Sun employee and one of the leaders of the Brazilian OpenSolaris community.

On Saturday and last day of the FISL conference, I got to share a little bit more of the stage by answering a performance related question from the attendance on Bruno Souza’s session about the future of Java,with the exceptional presence of Javali, the mascote for the Javali user group.

Bruno Souza with Duke and Javali

Overall FISL has been an amazing experience. It is definitely the biggest open source I’ve participated to. Over 8200 registered visitors, from 27 different countries, more than 320 speakers for 354 presentations and a presidential visit. More than that, Brazilians are extremely nice, generous and happy to live. They made our stay in Porto Alegre something that I’ll remember for a long time. A special thanks to the main organizers: Bruno Souza and Eduardo Lima (here below with Simon Phipps)

I’ll definitely participate to the Call For Presentation next year, if evangelism of the OpenDS project is still one of my tasks for next year.

OpenDS in Brazil

Ludo4 Comments

This week, one of the biggest conference about Open Source Software takes place in Porto Alegre, Brazil: FISL.

FISL stands for "Forum Internacional Software Livre" in the Portuguese language and means "International Free Software Forum".

FISL 10

This will the 10th edition and already over 6000 people have registered, according to the organizers.

It’s the first time I get to go to FISL and to Brazil as well. I’m looking forward to it, as I’ve been told a lot about the energy and the good atmosphere of the conference. It will be a good opportunity to be in touch with our community from South America.

My session will talk about "Scaling the Identity Store with OpenDS", describing the options to scale OpenDS based LDAP directory service from very small embedded to extremely large, telco scale. It’s schedule to happen on Friday 26th, from 11am to 12am in room 41A.

See you there.

Integrating OpenDS and Samba as a Primary Domain Controler…

LudoLeave a comment

Opends Logo Tag

Samba Logo

A few weeks ago, I was exchanging emails with one of the members of our community who was having issues with adding Samba related schema to OpenDS. The exchange turned into a few issues raised against OpenDS and a couple of builds later, he happily reported having all his problems solved and having a fully functional Primary Domain Controler running on his Ubuntu machine. And he immediately posted a detailed How To Guide on the OpenDS wiki.

I haven’t tried to reproduce the settings, but if you need to run Samba with LDAP on your server, you might want to check OpenDS and follow the steps to get it running.

An Interview with Marina Sum

LudoLeave a comment

Marina SumLast week, while I was at JavaOne, I had the opportunity to chat with Marina Sum, and our conversation about OpenDS turned into a interview published on Java.net.

And as like most of Marina’s post on Java.net, the interview was highlighted on Java.net front page on June 8th.

Marina is still looking for a new harbor to keep expressing her talent. If you need a talented and passionate technical writer, you should definitely give her a chance.

An index of indexes in OpenDS

LudoLeave a comment

I noticed that my colleague Kunal wrote a series of article on OpenDS indexes.

Here’s an index of his posts:

Kunal is a committer in the OpenDS project, has recently developed the support for extensible matching rules and indexes in OpenDS, as well as all internationalized matching rules (also called collation rules) which allow to filter LDAP content according to a language specific rules.

Kunal is also an amateur photographer and we’re planning on bringing our respective toys in San Francisco next week to shoot pictures of the city but also during the CommunityOne and the JavaOne conferences.

My new OpenDS cap

LudoLeave a comment

I meant to post this earlier… but thanks to our new friends, I have a new OpenDS cap.

For the time being, this one requires no extra work nor shift of duty 😉

I could have worn Felix’s cap as well, but I think it suits him better. And anyway, LDAP and OpenDS are good friends…
