"When you can do something useful, you should"

Saturday, October 11. 2008

Another great example of how the Open Source community works and how others should follow.

Asterisk 1.6.0 is the first official release of Asterisk 1.6

Friday, October 3. 2008

The first official release is out, and you can see lots of new features . Unfortunately there are still a few Realtime LDAP^[?] driver bugs, but it's getting there.

It's well worth having a play with Asterisk 1.6.0 though.

OpenLDAP for Fortune 20 Enterprises

Monday, September 29. 2008

HP decided to partner with Symas on OpenLDAP. We engineered as well as funded major contributions to OpenLDAP. On several occasions, we had the opportunity to put the facilitator model to the test. Would Symas be able to respond to urgent support calls? Would they be able to turn around quick patches to fix bugs? Would they be able to get those patches accepted by the OpenLDAP project? Would the OpenLDAP project embrace the overall work of HP and Symas, even though it meant significant change to the underlying codebase? The answer to each of these questions was a resounding yes, and our expectations for working in this model were fully validated.

Learn how to do this for your Enterprise.

For Enterprise grade OpenLDAP Support and consultancy, contact Suretec or Symas.

Suretec partners Symas release a MySQL Cluster back-end for OpenLDAP

Friday, September 19. 2008

MySQL and Symas have worked together for much of 2008 to produce a back-ndb, a back-end module for OpenLDAP that uses MySQL Cluster’s networked clustered database technology for OpenLDAP. Initially, we were concerned about how this would turn out but the advantages of the clustering technology made it worth a try. It turned out much better than expected!

MySQL (Sun) has contributed the source of this back-end to the OpenLDAP project and it is available in source from the project now. We expect it to be included in the next OpenLDAP 2.4 Release (imminent). MySQL will be offering binary distributions for selected platforms by the end of September.

GNU/Linux and Microsoft Active Directory

Friday, August 29. 2008

There's an interesting interview video with Gerald Carter of Samba and Likewise Software talking about Likewise Open:

Likewise Open is an open source, community project sponsored by Likewise Software to integrate Linux, Unix, and Mac in Microsoft Active Directory and authenticate users with their domain credentials. Likewise Open is licensed under the open source licensing so you can download it for free. Or, if you would like to become involved with the project, join one of the community mailing lists and discuss Likewise Open with other users and developers.

Suretec use Likewise Open for some of its cusomters and it's very good if you need to go down that route....

Zimbra do listen

Thursday, August 21. 2008

Suretec have now been using Zimbra OSS^[?] Edition for 2 weeks now and have hooked in Funambol OSS Edition using the Zimbra Funambol Connector. Mighty impressive and saves a lot of time and has a great business benefits.

It also uses OpenLDAP! Time to test the Asterisk Zimlet (which will need development work for the UK).

Have a feature request for Zimbra or bug report? Well, they do listen.

Down with OpenLDAP 2.3! OpenLDAP 2.4 is king!

Friday, August 15. 2008

OpenLDAP 2.4.11 has now been official marked as "stable"

Note:

The term "release", as used on the download web page (http://www.openldap.org/software/download/) refers to the lastest version of the OpenLDAP Software available for "general use".

The term "stable" refers to the last "general use" release that has demonstrated itself as being reliable in real world environments.

Each new version which is published is referred to as the "release" version until a subsequent version is published. Likewise, "stable" always refers to the release which is considered the most reliable.

Until today, an OpenLDAP 2.3 version was always marked as stable. For more information see the major changes and releases notes.

OpenLDAP for OpenSolaris

Thursday, August 7. 2008

In reality the OpenLDAP distribution is moving forward, while the Mozilla distribution has stagnated.

I wonder what other LDAP^[?] projects are in the same state as the Mozilla one?

Almost all other known Linux FOSS based utilities using LDAP,
use OpenLDAP libraries by default. The current maintainers
of the Mozilla LDAP code base are currently expressing no
interest in continuing to enhance Mozilla libldap beyond
existing minimal maintenance efforts. In reality the OpenLDAP
distribution is moving forward, while the Mozilla distribution
has stagnated.

Today, Solaris/OpenSolaris is the only major distribution that
does not deliver the OpenLDAP libldap C APIs. This project
corrects this issue.

Full e-mail post is here.
