The University of Michigan is pleased to announce release 3.3 of

UM-LDAP, an implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access
|
|
Protocol. LDAP is a draft Internet standard directory service
|
|
protocol that runs over TCP/IP. It can be used to provide a
|
|
stand-alone directory service, or to provide lightweight access to
|
|
the X.500 directory. LDAP is defined by RFC 1777 and RFC 1778.
|
|
|

This release includes the following components:
|
|
|
|
- slapd - a stand-alone LDAP directory server
|
|
- slurpd - a stand-alone LDAP replication server
|
|
- ldapd - an LDAP-to-X.500 gateway server
|
|
- centipede - an LDAP centroid generation and maintenance program
|
|
- libldap - an LDAP client library
|
|
- liblber - a lightweight BER/DER encoding/decoding library
|
|
- ldif tools - data conversion tools for use with slapd
|
|
- in.xfingerd - a finger-to-LDAP gateway server
|
|
- go500 - a gopher-to-LDAP gateway server for searching
|
|
- go500gw - a gopher-to-LDAP gateway server for searching and browsing
|
|
- rcpt500 - an email-to-LDAP query responder
|
|
- mail500 - an LDAP-capable mailer
|
|
- fax500 - an LDAP-capable mailer that supports remote printing
|
|
- LDAP tools - A collection of shell-based LDAP utility programs
|
|
|
|
In addition, there are some contributed components:
|
|
|
|
- web500 - an HTTP-to-LDAP gateway
|
|
- whois++d - a WHOIS++-to-LDAP gateway
|
|
- saucer - a simple command-line oriented client program
|
|
