LDAP Synchronization Connector

The LSC team is proud to announce the 2.0 release of LDAP Synchronization Connector. We have worked for a long time on this major release, and after two release candidates, the 2.0 stable version is here.

The main visible evolution is the use of XML configuration file that replace the old properties file. It will cost you some time to adjust your existing configuration, but you will then benefit of the XML syntax, with references to connection objects and a cleaner syntax for javascript code, enclosed in CDATA.

Some other new features:

• Support of real time synchronization from LDAP servers, trough persistent searches (SyncRepl for OpenLDAP)
• Support of databases as destinations
• Hash methods for NT/LM passwords
• HSQLDB utility to ease CSV files synchronization
• Sequence handing
• Date methods for Active Directory
• Compatibility with Java 7
• Nagios scripts
• Plugin API
• Groovy support for scripting (javascript is still the default scripting language)

You can see the full roadmap here; http://tools.lsc-project.org/versions/show/60. If you upgrade from 1.2 version, you will also benefit from all the 2.0rc2 resolved issues: http://tools.lsc-project.org/versions/show/66.

You can download it here: http://lsc-project.org/wiki/download.
