Duckwater Phase 0 – May 2008

We are currently planning to start code-review process for the first phase of Duckwater project which will, among other things, deliver the LDAP naming tools standalone functionality. Code-review request will be posted soon to related mailing lists.

June 11 update

The code has been integrated into the gate late last night.

Connection Management

New libsldap connection management to address many connection related issues and changes to ldap_cachemgr to improve it's robustness w.r.t. server monitoring and configuration changes.

Standalone functionality

The other big part adds support for standalone LDAP naming tools – i.e. no need for the system to be already LDAP client, or if it is, the tools like ldaplist(1) and ldapaddent(1M) can list/add naming data from/to completely different configuration to access different server, using different credentials, authentication methods etc. It's now also possible to function SSL only – no anonymous searches are done by ldapclient nor ldap_cachemgr unless the configuration does say so.
