HI!

Find a new alpha release of web2ldap for public testing on

http://www.web2ldap.de/download/web2ldap-1.1.0a4.tar.gz

During the last week a lot of effort was going into making a new release
series of web2ldap. Hope you'll like.

Ciao, Michael.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.1.0

Release Date: 2009-09-xx?

Installation and Configuration changes
The following changes to local system installation are required:

+ Upgrade to Python 2.5.x or newer
+ Installation of pyasn1.

New features/enhancements

+ Support for various boolean flag LDAPv3 extended controls with
a nicer user interface.

Changes in the UI

+ Specifying LDAP options/controls was moved from [ConnInfo]
into a separate module accessible via extra entry in the main
menu.
+ When generating the input form the operational attribute
allowedAttributesEffective (e.g. available on MS AD) is now
honoured to determine whether an attribute is writeable by the
bound user. Otherwise only a read-only hidden field is
displayed.
+ The schema browser is now directly accessible via extra entry
in the main menu.
+ Some improvements for setting the password of an user entry:
o Hash settings are not displayed when changing unicodePwd
on MS AD
o If the user changes his own password he can enter old
password for servers which need that (e.g. MS AD or
Novell eDirectory). A modify list with ldap.MOD_DEL and
ldap.MOD_ADD is generated then instead of
ldap.MOD_REPLACE.
+ LDAP URLs shown in the UI now have SASL parameters set which
were used during last login. This makes it easier for the user
to generate bookmark URLs containing SASL bind information.
+ [More] and [Fewer] in the advanced search form are now submit
buttons and thus user's input entered in the search form so
far is preserved. Empty user input is simply ignored and the
advanced search form is displayed again.

Bug fixes

+ Fixed behaviour when Relax Rules Control is in effect.

Code cleaning

+ Many changes/fixes towards a more consequent use of Unicode
objects.
+ Completely reworked control parameter handling in [Params] for
setting controls (formerly in [ConnInfo].
+ Deprecated module sets is not imported anymore.
+ Removed unused functions in module ldaputil.base.
+ New submodule ldaputil.extldapurl.
