OpenDJ 2.4.5 is now available

LudoLeave a comment

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 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 !

In the news…

I’ve been traveling a little bit last week, visiting a major customer in the UK (helping with their OpenDJ based directory service that has grown from 13 Millions entries to 17 Millions in a about 6 months).

Last week was also a busy week in term of news for ForgeRock. First, we’ve  announced the release of OpenIDM 2.0, a major version of our real-time identity life-cycle management, provisioning and synchronization software product. OpenIDM 2.0 is a new release, but is already running in production at a few happy customers.

ForgeRock and Qubera Solutions have announced a partnership for the delivery of Standard-based Identity Services based on ForgeRock I3 Open Platform. Qubera Solutions offers workshops and migration tools to help former Sun Microsystems customers to move away legacy software solutions.

I’ve also came across a blog post from Martin Sandren, that positions ForgeRock as one of the challengers on the Identity and Access Management market.  It’s an interesting reading and it looks like the previous announcement does start to address some of his concerns.

Martin was not the only one to talk about ForgeRock. Scott Mc Nealy has been nicely advertising about us on Twitter.

And finally, we’re expanding and therefore we’ve published a few job postings on our web site. I’m pretty confident that these are just a few to start with and we will have more, including some in our Grenoble Engineering Center.

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.
