Hi guys,

I have made some substencial changes in the OpenLDAP config plugins
those 3 last weeks. Here is the current status for this plugin :

- I have added an overiew pages which exposes only the very basic
informations of a OpenLDAP server : databases, loaded overlays, logLevel
and a few other infos
- I have added a widget for the LogLevel configuration, which is much
better that what we add before
- I also have added many fields configuration in the Options page

There is a lot that has to be done before this plugin can be considered
as production ready :
- First of all, the configuration 'save' does not currently work.
Probably just a bump on the road, I have to check that. Enough said that
it was woking 2 weeks ago, so one of my changes have broke it.
- I want to split the databases and options page in parts, with new pages :
  o a Config page which will contain all the specific config Database
parameters
  o a FrontEnd pagewhich will contain all the specific Frontend Database
parameters
- I also want to split the options page in many pages or sections (not
yet decided what's the best solution), with those sections :
  o Security
  o Tuning
  o Schema
  o PasswordPolicy
It's mainly about re-shuffling what we currently have in a more
user-friendly way.
- Move the literal Strings to the messages.properties files
- There are many configuraiton parameters that are not yet handled (just
because they weren't existing when the first version of the editor has
been designed)
- The help is not existing atm. It has to be added.


We won't support slapd.conf file in this version. Also the OpenLDAP
version that will be supported has to be recent (ie, 2.4.31 or newer).
ALl in all, that means we will support every OpenLDAP version that has
been released in teh past 4 years.

I will create JIRAs for the missing parts or each part I want to work on
expect a load of JIRAs to be created ;-)

All in all, I expect to have a very first version running quite soon,
and probably something that could be tested as soon as the 'save' action
will be fixed.

That's it for the status, expect lots of change sin the comming days and
weeks !

Thanks !
