Apache Software Foundation is announcing that Apache Directory LDAP API with version number 1.0.0-M31 is already available to download.
What is Apache Directory LDAP API ?
Apache Directory LDAP API is A Apache project aiming at providing a better API (Application Programming Interface) for LDAP servers, with support for the Apache Directory Server included .
The Apache Directory LDAP API was created out of frustration with existing APIs like jLdap, JNDI, LdapSDK and Mozilla’s LDAP API.Its main use case is to provide a communication channel using the LDAP protocol with remote LDAP servers.This is done via a schema-aware, OSGi-ready, extensible API.The project provides two experimental LDAP APIs.One for Groovy and one for Java.Even if this API has been spun off the development process for the Apache Directory Server, most LDAP servers are supported.
This is changelog for Apache Directory LDAP API version 1.0.0-M31 :
- Fixed:
- When dumping a BindRequest, the password is exposed.
- LdapConnectionTemplate closes connection after authentication rather than returning to the pool.
- LdapConnectionPool.getUnboundConnection is an oxymoron.
