[ApacheDS] Can't disable certificate-validation

Don't know if this how it's supposed to work, or a bug:
If I uncheck
[ ] Validate certificates for secure LDAP connections
in Window -> Preferences -> ADS -> Connections -> Certificate Validation
in ApacheDS 1.5.0.v20091102, it's checked again at the next start.

Related question:
I will deploy ApacheDS for multiple users, and would like to disable the
checks for everyone -- which file do I have to edit to set the default?

tia,

Hi Martin,

sorry, but global preferences are not possible in the current version.  
The eclipse framework defines a hierarchy of different preference  
scopes (per configuration, per instance, default), I think that could  
be used for your requirement, but this isn't used in Studio. Could you  
create another feature request in Jira?

In the meantime I think you have to add the preference file to all the  
user workspaces :-/

Kind Regards,
Stefan

This worked, thanks!

How do I set this as global default?

Hi Martin,

this is a bug, could you please create a Jira?

Here is a workaround:

Check if the following file exists, otherwise create one.
~/.ApacheDirectoryStudio/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settin=
gs/org.apache.directory.studio.connection.core.prefs

Add the following content (without the dashes), the important line is =20
the last one:
-------------------------------------------
#Mon Nov 09 12:26:56 CET 2009
eclipse.preferences.version=3D1
templates=3D<?xml version\=3D"1.0" encoding\=3D"UTF-8" =20
standalone\=3D"no"?><templates/>
validateCertificates=3Dfalse
-------------------------------------------

Kind Regards,
Stefan
