New OpenLDAP RPM's, autoconf'ed LdapNS

18 Jan 99 Theres a new ldapns development snapshot, available through the FTP and CVS server. The main modification is to the build procedure, changing from static makefiles to an autoconf style build procedure. It is working great under RedHat Linux, with both the OpenLDAP libraries and the Mozilla SDK. The newest version of openldap (1.1.2) has been packaged up as RPM.

Typed up a brief howto document, and built some RPM's. The RPM's are patched versions found at rufus.w3.org, with the slurpd backend fixed and support for userpassword binding.

Website shuffle

5 Jun 98

Re-org'ed the website to make it alittle easier to navigate. also moved away from those dark foreboding colors to something alittle more eyeball friendly

Netscape Directory SDK opensourced

2 Jun 98

Netscape has released the SDK for their Directory(the lightweight flavor) Server. It looks like it does alot of neet stuff, including LDAPv3 and SSL support. More info and the downloadables are at mozilla.org; I'll be checking it out as soon as I have a chance.

Usefull NSS_LDAP Module

31 May 98

Just put up the new nss_ldap snapshot in the usual place. This is the first truly usefull version; it fully implements all host, passwd, group, service, protocol, and network calls. It also features a more streamlined build procedure and some test facilities. Give it a spin. Some of the things left to do in it include testing/fixing the other calls (aliases, rpcs, ethers) and adding in autoconf support.
