Hi guys,
a quick update on what's going on: there is not much change in the current code, beside a few modifications done in the Ldap - Relaxed the Filter parser to allow spaces to be present when it's not ambiguous (like '( & (...' is now accepted) - The PersistentSearch codec was buggy - Added a isSecured() metod in the LdapNetworkConnection class - Made it so every operation connect to the ldap server if it's not already connected. This is important for people wanting to apply an operation over an anonymous connection - Fixed the TrustmanagerFactory - Added a LdapNetworkConnection that takes a TrustManager as a parameter, to allow users to create a SSL connection immediately - Made ApacheDS working with the API (it was broken for quite some time) Some effort has been put on teh API documentation - thanks to Shawn for the proof reading - but there is stilla lot to do. I'm currently working on the Security pages (http://directory.staging.apache.org/api/user-guide/5-ldap-security.html and the associated pages). My current focus is on SASL, the SSL and StartTLS pages are complete - well, unless we have something to add ;-)... Feel free to review them ! TODO before 1.0 : We need to improve the Trustmanagerfactory to check the server's certificate by default, currently we don't check anything, this is not good. Stefan already mailed about the issue. Many thanks ! -- Emmanuel Lecharny Symas.com directory.apache.org
