Major upgrade of LdapAuth in the works

2012 started with a major refactoring project to consolidate the common code in all Connect2id products - Json2Ldap, LdapAuth and LdapSync. This resulted in much leaner software, and would help us make maintenance and further development, including of new products, much more efficient and fun too.

The new LdapAuth version 2.0 will supersede the present 1.3 release, bringing a few significant changes:

  • LdapAuth will be able to authenticate users via Json2Ldap in addition to direct LDAP authentication.

  • It will support plain SASL bind to allow username-to-DN resolution to happen within the LDAP directory itself. This feature simplifies setup and administration, and will speed up auth request processing too.

  • The user.get call will allow optional retrieval of user’s DN and an LDAP connection bound to them.

  • user.get will also enable retrieval of selected multi-valued attributes, to make provisioning of users more complete.

LdapAuth 2.0 is currently going through final QA and should become available by the end of February.
