-
- 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.
