A N N O U N C E M E N T
I am pleased to announce release 1.0 of UM-LDAP, an implementation
of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. LDAP is a soon-to-be
proposed standard lightweight protocol for accessing X.500, that
runs over TCP/IP. It is similar in function to the DAS and DIXIE
protocols described in RFC's 1202 and 1249, respectively. LDAP
itself is currently described by the Internet Drafts osi-ds-26 and
osi-ds-27.
This release includes the following components:
- LDAP server
- Asynchronous client library
- Synchronous client library
- Lightweight BER encoding/decoding library
- Sundry sample client programs
ISODE-8.0 and QUIPU are required to build the server, but the client
libraries can be made separately without having ISODE.
AVAILABILITY
This software is freely available to anyone for any lawful purpose,
subject to U-M copyright notices and disclaimers. The software is
available for anonymous ftp from the host terminator.cc.umich.edu
in the x500/ directory. The file is called ldap-1.0.tar.Z.
SUPPORT
The software is provided as is without any express or implied
warranty, but there is a bug reporting mail address which is
responded to on a best-effort basis:
bug-ldap@terminator.cc.umich.edu
In addition, there is a discussion list for issues relating to this
implementation of ldap:
ldap@terminator.cc.umich.edu -- discussion list
ldap-request@terminator.cc.umich.edu -- to join the list
Comments or questions about the LDAP protocol in general should be
sent to the OSI-DS discussion group:
osi-ds@cs.ucl.ac.uk
SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
The software is known to run on a Sun 4 under SunOS 4.1.1, and the
client libraries have been ported to the Apple Macintosh. Future
releases will likely be ported to other platforms.
