Hi all,
Over at Directory we're discussing the use of JDK 1.5 specific API's
for some critical functionality needed for a 1.0 release of the
directory server. We find ourselves in a Catch-22 where LDAPv3
compliance requires support for SSL and SASL. Use of these API's
would make ApacheDS 1.4 incompatible. We are currently looking for
alternatives so embedding projects like Geronimo are not affected.
I had a quick look at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2251.txt and it says
SASL mechanisms *may* be used with LDAP. Is it possible to just
support simple authentication and not require the use of SASL if
running on JDK 1.4?
Actually other RFCs since then have come out to basically say that you
need either SSL or SASL. If you're curious you can look at the RFC here
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2829.html which talks about this.
