October 2005

Binaries:

Fixed defect so that the connection fails when the same connection is used to connect to an LDAP server multiple times.

Doc:

Transitioned to revised Novell standards.

June 2005

Binaries:

• Support for Subnordinate Subtree search scope for Novell Virtual Directory Services (NVDS).

• DSML serialization support for com.novell.ldap.LDAPSearchResults.java class.

• Support for LDAP EffectivePrivilegesControl for NVDS.

March 2005

Binaries:

• Added support for object based backup/restore extensions to Java LDAP SDK.

• Fixed the following defects:

  • javax.security.sasl either needs to be implemented per the specification, or our version needs to be repackaged into a Novell-named package (any Novell products using these will need to be fixed before using the new jar).

  • renameRDN sample could not move entry on ActiveDirectory.

Doc:

• Added information on object based backup/restore extensions in the LDAP Class for Java Extensions.

Sample:

• Added under the directory \pkg\samples\extensions, the GetLDAPBackupRestore.java sample for demonstrating the use of LDAP-based backup and restore APIs.

October 2004

Updated the license.txt file. In addition, the following changes were made:

Binaries:

• Added Default DSML serialization support, which allows objects to be serialized by default in DSML.

Doc:

• Added documentation regarding the default DSML serialization support.

• Added the Junit Test programs to automate the unit testing of eventing system (both PSearch and eDirectory Legacy eventing system in Java LDAP).

• Added under the directory \javaldap\tests\com\novell\ldap\test\common the JLDAPTestUtil.java sample for the Common Test Utility class.

• Added under the directory \javaldap\tests\com\novell\ldap\events these Persistence Search test classes:

• MockLDAPSourceTest.java

• MockPersistenceEventSource.java

• MockPsearchEventSourceTest.java

• PsearchEventSourceTest.java

• SelectiveTestSuite.java

• Added under the directory \javaldap\tests\com\novell\ldap\events\edir these eDirectory Legacy eventing system test classes:

• EdirEventGenerator.java

• EdirEventSourceTest.java

• MockEdirEventSource.java

• MockEdirEventTest.java

• MockEdirEventTest1.java

• MonitorEventRequestTest.java

• MonitorFilterEventRequestTest.java

February 2004

Rebuilt all downloads to include changes to license.txt and Readme files. For detailed changes for each download, see the following sections:

Binaries:

• Implemented LBURP APIs.

• Added LDAPExtendedResponse.register method, which implements a generalized response factory for LDAP Extended Responses.

• Implemented the register method for the LDAPExtendedResponse class.

• Modified existing Extended Requests classes in Jldap to use LDAPExtendedresponse.register method to register the LDAPExtendedResponse classes.

• Implemented LDAP Intermediate Response draft (draft-rharrison-ldap-intermediate-resp-01.txt) Object Serialization.

• Fixed using Java to import an LDIF file.

• Fixed LDIFWriter to write multiple ldapmodification values.

Doc:

• No other changes.

Sample:

• Added sample program demonstrating use of LBURP API.

October 2003

Binaries:

• Implemented Java SASL API (as defined in JSR28 - Java SASL Specificationin and draft-weltman-java-sasl-05.txt).

• Added NMAS_LOGIN SASL, DIGESTMD5 SASL, and EXTERNAL SASL mechanisms.

• Added HP-UX support.

• Added IETF draft 18 compliance.

Sample:

• Added new sample code for: MD5Bind, NMASBind, SaslExternal, and GetAttributeSchema.

June 2003

Made the following changes:

• Made enhancements to the DSML parser.

• Added New Package, which contains classes to support connection pool management. These classes were previously located in the sample directory.

• Added accessor methods to the LDAPSearchRequest class, including a method to retrieve the search filter as parsed into its separate components.

March 2003

Made the following updates:

• Improved search filter error checking. Filters can now include characters outside the ASCII set, which no longer need to be escaped.

• Added samples demonstrating a mechanism for connection pooling.

• Added support for reading and writing LDIF and DSML files (LDIF V1 API for LDAP and DSML V2 API for LDAP).

• Updated LDAPSearchQueue and LDAPResponseQueue to leverage a common class in handling the queue functionality.

• Updated Clone to work properly in all classes and updated Bind to allow a null-string password.

For more details, see the Readme.

18 November 2002

Fixed LDAPConnection.getCount() to return correct results as per the IETF specification: "Returns a count of the entries and exceptions in the object. If the search was submitted with a batch size greater than 0, this reports the number of results received so far but not enumerated with next()."

September 2002

The LDAP Classes for Java now conform to the IETF specification for the API as defined in draft-ietf-ldapext-ldap-java-api-18.txt with the following exceptions:

• Classes do not yet implement Serializable.

• SASL bind functions are not yet implemented.

• The LDAPExtendedResponse class does not yet implement the register method.

Made the following updates:

• Changed the APIs for modifying schema: LDAPSchema now extends LDAPEntry, LDAPSchemaElement now extends LDAPAttribute. The same methods in LDAPConnection used for modifying the Attributes and Entries in the directory are used to modify schema.

• Updated LDAPException and LDAPUrl classes to conform the draft.

• Updated LDAPEntry and LDAPAttribute classes so that sorting is now done through the Java Collection Framework.

For further details, see the Readme.

Note: Because of the change to LDAPAttributeSet, the classes are not binary compatible with previous releases. You must recompile your applications to run with the September 2002 release.

• IETF Draft 17 features (for details, see the readme)

• Implemented startTLS

• LDAP certification with Critical Path*

February 2002

• Renamed Naming Context APIs to use Replica and Partition terminology

• Updated the getBindDN extension

• Corrected memory leak that occurs when performing mutiple synchronous searches on the same connection

In documentation, made the following changes:

• Added additional information on the com.novell.ldap and org.ietf.ldap packages

• Separated the com.novell.ldap and the org.ietf.ldap JavaDoc

• Updated SSL configuration instructions

• Enhanced the searching, referral, and exception handling sections of concepts
