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 !
