March 2006
Binaries:
- Added a new constructor with the parameter timeout in LDAPConnection
class to support Socket Timeout value.
- Added two new methods setSocketTimeOut and getSocketTimeOut
to set and get the socket connect timeouts respectively.
- Removed the following samples:
-
ConnectTimeOut.java is removed
as the constructor in the ldapconnection class does the
same function.
-
NmasBind.java is removed as
NMAS bind (through Simple Password and NDS mechanisms)
is not supported in NMASClient.jar.
- Fixed the defect for thread synch done.
Doc:
- Added information about LDAPConnection constructor.
- Fixed formatting issues.
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.
- Added Junit test automation to verify thread safe of Java
LDAP SDK code base. This basically tests thread safety in pool
of LDAPConnection clones, while handling the client requests
simultanously.
- Verified IntermediateResponse operation in Java LDAP SDK as
per the standard.
Doc:
- Added information on Subordinate Subtree search scope.
- Added information on DSML serialization support for com.novell.ldap.LDAPSearchResults.java
class.
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:

these Persistence Search test classes:
- MockLDAPSourceTest.java
- MockPersistenceEventSource.java
- MockPsearchEventSourceTest.java
- PsearchEventSourceTest.java
- SelectiveTestSuite.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:
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.

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.
