Basically, using a schema with some AttributeType without an Equality MatchingRule leads yo NPE which breaks the backend. This bug has been fixed at the end of last week, and a release is on its way.

Keep in mind that ApacheDS 2.0 is still very young. What I would suggest here is pretty simple : - if you need a 100% bullet proof server in production, with 24x7 service, and you feel uncertain that ApacheDS can fulfill your needs, then OpenLDAP is certainly an alternative - keep in mind that whatever server you will use, you may have issues. This is part of the deal : you have to test what you use before going in the wild - in any case, consider your options carefully. There is no silver bullets, and this is a changing world. We try to provide as much help as possible, but at some point, you may need some support. Consider contacting the people behing all those open source software, most of them can provide support and deliver fixes fast anough. In any case, even if you decide to switch to OpenLDAP, thanks a lot for having used ApacheDS. In the mean time, I hope that the next versions will solve the issues you are creently having :) -- Regards, Cordialement, Emmanuel Lécharny www.iktek.com
