[ads] How do we release the server?
Hiya,
Now that consensus has been reached on a external product release of naming and "the server" we have a couple questions that need to be answered. But first some background ...
The Apache Directory Server (ADS) can come in two configurations:
1) The first standard configuration is as an executable jar with only the LDAP protocol.
2). Another configuration is as a standalone executable jar with Kerberos and LDAP protocols together so the server can be both a directory server and authentication server in one. Here the Kerberos sevice stores realm and configuration information in the directory and exposes its configuration via LDAP. However note that for security the LDAP port can be shut off while still storing the realm within the directory - yeah this sounds strange I know but its an option.
With these configurations shall we release a single jar for #1, #2 or for both? I recommend releasing both for example as:
ads-${version}.jar, and
ads-krb5-${version}.jar or ads-kerberos-${version}.jar, whatever...
WDYT?
Alex

Please do not use [ads] to prefix messages on this list. I just about
deleted it out of hand before realizing that this was not an
ad(vertisement).
