24 January 2005 - Apache DS 0.8 (Incubated) Released

The Apache Directory team is pleased to announce the release of Apache DS 0.8, a pure-Java LDAP server (Incubated).

Our primary vision is to build an enterprise directory server platform and its components where other Internet services snap in to store their data within the directory so they may be managed using LDAP. Those services include LDAP itself, DNS, DHCP, SLP, UDDI, NTP, and most importantly Kerberos, which can integrate with the services to provide full-featured network authentication service.

Features:


  • Designed as an LDAP and X.500 experimentation platform.

  • The server exposes all aspects of administration via a special system backend.

  • Both the backend subsystem and the frontend are separable and independently embeddable.

  • Provides a server side JNDI LDAP provider which directly interacts with the backend storage.

  • Powered by Staged Event Driven Architecture (SEDA) which can handle large amounts of concurrency.


Coming soon:

  • Remote management via JMX.

  • Java-based triggers and stored procedures.

The Apache Directory team is looking for developers and users to work with the server and give feedback. Mailing list information is at: http://incubator.apache.org/directory/mailing-lists.html

Please note that the Directory Project is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

The Apache Software Foundation provides organizational, legal, and financial support for a broad range of open source software projects. The Foundation provides an established framework for intellectual property and financial contributions that simultaneously limits contributors potential legal exposure. Through a collaborative and meritocratic development process, Apache projects deliver enterprise-grade, freely available software products that attract large communities of users.
