Yet Another IAM and Open Source Blog

I’m pleased to announce the first downloadable version of LinID Directory Manager. You can download it at the following location: LinID Forge

And now the first screenshot :

As presented some days ago, LinID DM has now a selectable directories properties component and primary support for overlays (only two at this time)

New demo URL : http://build.lsc-project.org:8080/linid-dm/

This monday and thuesday, my team and I have the pleasure to work with Howard Chu about directories and IAM projects.

After an very interesting afternoon, we had a small coding moment arround an “get effective rights” overlay

At the end of the day, twenty people from different companies (final user, IT services companies, independant, …) joined us to listen to Howard talking about OpenLDAP 2.4 Highlights. After a short introduction with a violin (video shortly available ;), Howard mainly focused on replication and performances enhancements to convince, if it was necessary, that OpenLDAP really outperforms any other directories (open source or proprietary) and is the only directory to support more than 2 billions entries !

In the next morning (24/03), we focused on the business part : consulting, support, development around OpenLDAP but also on our offer LinID. Apart form general questions, we also talk about our projects like Ldap Synchronization Connector and LinID Directory Manager (OpenLDAP console)

Exchanging with Howard was very interesting because of the experience and expertise about all LDAP related stuff and the knowledge of the Open Source world, but also about performance, optimizations. I simply loved these two days and event if it is sometimes difficult to be involved in all the aspects of projects (commercial, marketing, development and support), I can now remember why I love this Open Source spirit so much.

Thanks Howard,

This first major version of the Ldap Synchronization Connector which includes a fully functional version.

You will find a simple and ready to use interface to build your directory connector : you can take data from databases, CSV files and also other directories.

It is now very simple to generate new tasks, starting from the directory object classes. You only need to know the database schema in order to write the SQL requests.

The full changelog is available here.

Take a look and you are pleased to send us feedback and feature requirements if something is missing for your needs.
