mod_psldap News

This version of mod_psldap provides an updated look and feel with two different skinning options to provide a green or blue color scheme.

The latest release of mod_psldap provides new core capabilities to support new actions to register users, add ldap attributes and client side drag and drop editing of the LDAP records to reassign records to superiors, people to managers, and members to groups. A client side form validation framework was also introduced that simplifies validation through leverage of custom attributes on the input elements.

This is a bug fix release to address variations on the initially tested configurations and restores isolation of site specific configurations to simplify an upgrade.

The latest release of mod_psldap introduces support on handheld devices and XSLT execution on the Apache server. Users can now download contact records as VCF files from LDAP using these new capabilities and are free to create other complex file types leveraging this new feature. Additional capabilities have been created to introduce HTTP session persistence within LDAP to allow for single sign on across Apache instances - this session management feature is provided in a Beta form and is disabled by default.

This release improves usability significantly with more visible and legible status responses, ability to dial contacts direct with skype, chat via yahoo, classify and manage vendor contacts, move contacts across nodes, fixes to the contact photo presentation, segregated browser side configuration, and more! Authorization and authentication support remain rock solid and will continue to be supported as core capabilities of this module.... read more

The code base for mod-psldap now compiles and runs against both Apache 1.3 and 2.0. This package differs from the packaged mod_auth_ldap in that it also performs cookie based validation and can authenticate the user without pulling the password off the ldap server.

The latest revision of mod_psldap - an LDAP module for Apache capable of authenticating against an LDAP server has been released.
