Apache Directory Server 1.5.5 released !
The Apache Directory team is proud to announce that the long expected 1.5.5 version has been released yesterday.
Downloads are available at http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/downloads.html
What's new ?
- More than 62 bugs have been fixed.
- We switched to MINA 2.0.0-M6
- entryUUID and entryCSN are now injected for every new entry
- Huge search requests don't eat all the memory
- Addition of a Client-API (eliminary work)
- Jetty has been integrated into the server
- Addition of a Journal
- The server.xml file has been modified
Change in Server.xml
<defaultDirectoryService...> takes some new attributes :
- replicaId (an integer) OPTIONAL
- maxPDUSize (an integer, the maximum number of bytes a incoming message can be) OPTIONAL
<interceptors> :
- the <referralInterceptor/> bean must be present
servers : the configuration has changed for all the servers (changePasswordServer, kdcServer,
ntpServer, dnsServer). They all take a <transports> set of transports, instead of sharing some
SocketAcceptor/DatagramAcceptor. For instance :
<kdcServer ipPort="60088"> <directoryService>#directoryService</directoryService> <datagramAcceptor>#datagramAcceptor</datagramAcceptor> <socketAcceptor>#socketAcceptor</socketAcceptor> </kdcServer>
becomes :
<dnsServer>
<transports>
<tcpTransport port="8053"/>
<udpTransport port="8053"/>
</transports>
<directoryService>#directoryService</directoryService>
</dnsServer>
The <LdapService> bean has been renamed <LdapServer>, to have a consistent naming scheme.
<LdapServer> supports both LDAP and LDAPS protocols, the transports are used to define
LDAPS if needed. :
<transports> <tcpTransport address="0.0.0.0" port="10389" nbThreads="8" backLog="50" enableSSL="false"/> <tcpTransport address="localhost" port="10686" enableSSL="true"/> </transports>
The second transport is used for SSL
<ApacheDS> bean does not contain a reference to a directory service anymore, each server which
need to rely on such a service will refer it into its own configuration.
