[classlib][ldap] Fwd: [OT] Is there a Java client to interact with directory server?
Hi all:
As said before, I plan to develop ldap service provider. I forward my
discussion with apache directory developers below.
According to them, the JXplorer(http://jxplorer.org) project of computer
associates open source software license may of help. The license is said to
be the old version of apache license. I am not sure whether we can utilize
the project due to the license issue.
Would any one give some comments?

Agree. A lot of other security related problem depends on this library,
such as pureTLS.
Furthermore, the X509 certificate library is also another good candidate
for common component.

We need an LDAP client *library* rather than a client tool though.
Reading the thread [1] on Apache Directory it seems that they do have
such a thing, so it may be just a case of figuring out how to take it as
a separate library and converting writing the JNDI provider code.
BTW: Seems that they are also maintaining an ASN.1 library -- that
sounds like a candidate for factoring out as a common component.

Thank you for your comments.
Actuall, I am now discussing it with apache directory guys. They said they
have a subproject ldap studio (Apache license v2) which support most of the
functions of ldap service provider. But we need to do many customization and
wrapping. I prefer to turn to this implementation. Since the license is
compatible and the community is responsive.

As I understood in JXplorer's license 'Apache' was substituted by
'Computer Associates' - so you may try to compare it word for word
with old Apache license[1]. Or you may ask for help on
legal-discuss@apache.org mailing list.
