The Apache Directory Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Directory Studio 1.2.0 RC1, a major update of its Eclipse based LDAP Browser and Directory client.

You can download Apache Directory Studio 1.2.0 as a standalone RCP application for Mac OS X, Linux and Windows here:

You can install it directly in Eclipse using this update site:
http://directory.apache.org/studio/update/1.x/

Here are a few highlights of this new version:

  • The new Apache DS feature makes its introduction in Apache Directory Studio. This new feature allows you to run the latest version of Apache DS (1.5.3) from within Apache Directory Studio or Eclipse and makes it super easy (and fast) to create and run an LDAP Server.
  • The Apache DS Configuration plugin now supports the 4 latest versions of Apache DS. It's now capable to read/write the server.xml file of an Apache DS 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2 and 1.5.3.
  • The Search Logs view has been added to the LDAP Browser.
  • We've also added the support to use the proxy features of Eclipse inside Studio as well as improved the platform (useful actions have been added to the platform, the Mac OS X application now respects the standards of Apple for the "About" and "Preferences" actions, etc.).
  • We've also fixed some bugs dealing with schema files and schema parsing in the Schema Editor and LDAP Browser plugins.

The Directory project at the Apache Software Foundation today introduced Apache Directory Studio 1.1.0 RC, the first major update of its Eclipse based LDAP Browser and Directory client.

The LDAP Browser plugin now supports reorganizing connections inside folders in the Connections View, a great improvement for grouping related connections together and keep the view clean. The Object Classes selection has been vastly improved when creating a new entry. Support for lowercased hash methods has also been added to the Password Editor.

The Schema Editor plugin has been improved by the addition of a hierarchical presentation to the Schema View, which displays the attribute types and object classes hierarchically. It supports key bindings to launch several actions (e.g. "Open in Type Hierarchy") and is now bundled with OpenLDAP 'core' schemas.

The Apache DS Configuration Editor now support the configuration of the latest version (1.5.1) of Apache DS.

Aside from these majors new features, a certain number of bug has been fixed, which make this version the more stable release of Apache Directory Studio ever.

Apache Directory today announced the release of Apache Directory Studio 1.0.1, the latest version of its Directory and LDAP related tooling platform written in Java and based on Eclipse technologies.

This release fixes some issues in the LDAP Browser plugin and adds documentation for the Schema Editor plugin.

The Apache Directory project has released Apache Directory Studio 1.0, a full featured administration tool for LDAP directories.

Apache Directory Studio is a complete directory tooling platform intended to be used with any LDAP server and has additional integration with Apache Directory Server , which is a 100% Java LDAP server that is certified as LDAPv3 compliant by the Open Group. Developed as a sub-project of the Apache Directory Top Level Project, Apache Directory Studio is an Eclipse RCP application that takes full advantage of the benefits inherent in the Eclipse platform. Composed of several Eclipse (OSGi) plugins, Apache Directory Studio can be easily upgraded with additional plugins. Apache Directory Studio plugins may also be installed within an existing Eclipse installation.

Features include:

  • LDAP directory browser and editor
  • LDAP schema editor for Apache Directory Server and OpenLDAP schemas
  • Advanced editors for binary data such as jpegPhoto
  • Connection management
  • LDIF editor with code completion and templates
  • Bookmarks for entries
  • Stored searches
  • Batch operations
  • ... much more

In addition to downloads for Apache Directory Studio and Apache Directory Server, there is also a Windows installer for Apache Directory Suite which includes a pre-configured instance of Apache Directory Server with an example partition and data, and an installation of Apache Directory Studio that is pre-configured to browse the example directory. With this installation you can install and have a running LDAP server and Client GUI in less than 2 minutes (existing Java JRE 1.5 or greater required).

The Apache Directory Server community is pleased to announce the release of Apache Directory Server version 1.5.1.

This is a bug fix release, with many improvement, better performance, and a new packaging.

Due to a public vote, the name of the LDAP Studio subproject was changed to Apache Directory Studio. The reason for the renaming is that this subproject doesn't only cover LDAP related tooling but also more general directory tooling like the ApacheDS configuration plugin.

The 1.0.2 release of ApacheDS is available! Native installers for several operating systems (Solaris, Mac OS X, Linux, Windows) can be downloaded here.

This is a bug fix release.
