client-api removed ? moved ?
Hi,
Looking at your source repository, client-api was removed recently
from directory-shared. I was trying to use it for some projects as a
replacement of sun jndi or novell jldap.
Is it gone for good ?
I couldn't get a simple search working against openldap but I tough
the bug was in my code (openldap didn't understand the filter
transmitted in my search, while being a simple (uid=*)).
May I ask why it was removed or moved (where?) ?
Any usable NIO based alternative to Sun JNDI ?
Regards,
Thomas.

No, it was moved to a different location
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/clients/ldap/trunk

We have started this client-api to make developing and working with
LDAP servers easy.
We appreciate any feedback on client-api during your usage.

It is very uncommon to search entries with a specific uid and password,
because the password will in almost all cases not be readable.
Normally, you search an entry with a uid, and bind with the returned DN
and the given password.
Note that a bind in JNDI is not a bind in LDAP. The bind in JNDI is an
add in LDAP (just to reduce confusion).

a simpler question.
if i authenticate by getting an InitialDirContext with a user as principal,
how can i use the context to pull this users attributes?
Context.getAttributes() expects a Name, confused...

Subject: first small ldap java design
Hi,
Im new to LDAP Java and need to provide code for the following usecase.
Wondering if anyone might review my initial logic notes writen in novice terms
perhaps offer some advice, pseudo or even real LDAP Java code examples.
taking first baby steps...
Thks, Lee!
1- connect to the customer's LDAP Directory service
LDAPAPI:
get a new InitialDirContext() with customer's LDAP Directory service
hostname:port, Bind principal and Bind principal password
? supply base DN ?
2- authenticate simple mode LDAP username/password credentials
LDAPAPI:
uid = username, userpassword = password
? user password stored in UNIX crypt format ?
Bind ?
Search user uid, userpassword?
3- if authenticated, retrieve membership of 3 possible role groups,
and the personname attribute value
LDAPAPI:
Search and return attributes ?
4- Close the LDAP service connection
LDAPAPI:
Unbind
*

Thanks a lot, I did a git clone from the directory-clients repo and
this one does not seems up to date yet.

No, certainly not !
In fact, we moved it so that it's more visible. t has its own project
now, and will be released as 0.1 soon (probably this week).
Have a look at svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/clients/ldap/trunk/

Many, but we are currently working with OpenDS people to get something
common.
There is a dedicated mailing list : api@directory.apache.org, and a
dedicated wiki : http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DIRAPI/Index
As it's really a work in progress, if you feel like giving a hand, you
are more than welcome !
PS: We are currently moving all our internal tests to use this API, as
it's the best way to test it :)
