With the latest release of Penrose 1.2, we completed our integration with the latest release of OpenDS (0.9). Penrose 1.2 bundled OpenDS; however, OpenDS is not enabled by default.

Here is a very simple instruction on how to enable OpenDS in Penrose.

Penrose can provide an LDAP layer on top of a Crowd database, as well as implement a password decrypt/decode function, so that applications can authenticate using the same passwords that are stored in Crowd without duplicating user information. Detail instruction after the jump..

Penrose 1.2 is here.

The Safehaus Penrose team is proud to announce Penrose 1.2. Special thanks to Pete Rowley (FedoraDS) and Neil Wilson (OpenDS) and all the nice people who contributed to this release: Ricardo A. Gorosito, Michael Ramirez, Hubert Fongarnand, Rodrigo Kumpera, Richard Renomeron and many more.

Please see the release notes for complete detail.

Penrose 1.2 many fixes since 1.1:

• Significant performance improvements.
• Additional LDAP front-end: Sun OpenDS, FedoraDS and Apache Mina.
• Support of database-level join operation.
• Support of paged search result in LDAP adapter.
• Support of custom controls.
• Indexing Engine and JDBC Engine improvement
• Many other bug fixes!
• Many thanks to those who helped build and test this release!

Identity Wheel illustrates what are still missing in open source identity management landscape. Anyone is willing to lend a hand to fill up the pie ? Identity services slice is definitely heating up. How can we evenly distribute the open source developers to work on the less crowded pie slices ? For a start, you can join the conversation at safehaus.org

After the jump, read article by Michael Caton’s - “Virtual Directories Take Hold“.

LDAP Studio is by far the best open source LDAP client implementation available. You can download it here. Credits goes to Stefan Seelmann, Pierre Arnauld Marcelot (we call him ‘pam’), Christie Koppelt and all of ApacheDS committers. I applaud these guys for yet again contributing a high quality software.

Just like Penrose Studio, LDAP Studio is based on Eclipse RCP PDE framework. It comes with two plugins: an LDAP browser and a schema editor. Both plugins can be installed into your Eclipse IDE by pointing it to the remote site  http://directory.apache.org/ldapstudio/update/

Open source Identity Management Map (Dec 2006 edition) is now available online.

There are quite a few additions to this October 2006 edition, namely Whobar, Zxid and BBAuth.
