Directory administrator / News: Recent posts

The project is moved to http://diradmin.open-it.org

We're going to be phasing DA back onto SF as a secondary system and for more PR, but the main page and fastest updates will still be available from http://diradmin.open-it.org/

We're phasing out of SourceForge. The first thing you'll notice is that there are no more download files around. You need to go to Directory administrator's Web site to download the files. The bug and feature trackers are still working, though.

The first official Conectiva source RPM is available for download at Directory administrator's download page. These come straight from the Conectiva guys.

After what seems like 520E+12 years of inactivity, project leader Rudd-O DragonFear finally released the latest version of Directory administrators. Highlights: large directories are easier to handle now thanks to icon list sorting - showstopper bugs fixed - functionality enhancements on group creation.

The power supply on my computer literally exploded. Must be due to the 40 degrees celsius evenings.

I'm rewriting most of the application so it's going to be a long time for the next version to come up.

Directory administrator's development has been stalled due to problems with my development machine - namely that due to a change of the GNU libc my LDAP has stopped working. Today I'll get the software packages I need to run it.

Several bugfixes and confirmations have been developed so it is safer to your directory information. The first time it's run, it will prompt the user to create a new connection profile.

This tool is now mature for production use.

Release 1.0 has finally seen the light. Proper things proper, it does everything advertised. Check it out. We'll have RPMs shortly after this.

0.9 has been released without much fanfare. It now automatically adds to the directory user required objectclasses for the attributes it manages, including the trustAccount attribute I created. There should be a better way to do the trust thingy!

The release 0.6 is ready. It now commits user account information changes to the LDAP server, except for the allowed servers list (which I'm thinking i should rename server trust feature or something along the lines of it).

The first release contained binaries and backup files which weren't intended to be distributed in the same package. Therefore, I made a new release and during the process wiped out a couple of bugs that had been bothering me. I'm looking into using GConf for storing configuration data for my application. Is it a good idea?

The directory administrator comes to life. Well, not quite. If you could compare it to a baby before being born, this would be on its fifth month of pregnancy. Nevertheless, I expect to finish most of the features by this weekend. Download it and stay tuned. Send me an e-mail if you want a feature request. I'll need people helping me later in stabilizing the source. It never segfaults, BUT I think I have memory leaks in the GUI code (not in the data infrastructure).
