These release notes apply +to the Netscape Directory SDK 4.0 for Java. Please read these notes before +using the product. +
This new API works at a +low level, close to the LDAP protocol, providing a means for mutiplexing +LDAP operations from the same thread. See the +Internet +Draft on the LDAP API Asynchronous Extension. +
+
+
Support for the Java +Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) Service Provider
The JNDI service provider
+is implemented more efficiently on top of the asynchronous JAVA LDAP API.
+For more information on JNDI, see the
+java.sun
+website. Removed asynch
+I-D doc link from here. Here should come a reference to the JNDI SP relese
+notes file.
+
Simple Authentication +and Security Layer (SASL) API changes +
+The new SASL API is rewritten including new SASL interface +classes. For more information, see the Simple +Authentication and Security Layer (SASL). +
+
Follow these instructions +to install the Netscape Directory SDK: +
Netscape Communicator 4.5
+and earlier contain older versions of the Netscape LDAP Java classes. You
+can obtain the latest classes
+WHERE?
+
Replace
+the old file (Example: <JDK_root>/Program
+Files/Netscape/Communicator/Program/Java/classes/ldap10.jar) with
+the new JAR file.

The Netscape Directory SDK +for Java includes the classes for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol +(LDAP) Application Programming Interface (API). You can use these classes +to write your own application to connect to, search, and update LDAP servers +on the Internet. +
After installing the SDK, +read the documentation in the doc +directory and look at the samples in the examples +directory. +
Reading the Online Documentation
+
The Netscape Directory
+SDK for Java includes documentation in HTML format. To read this documentation:
+
Each application is an example +that shows how you can use the classes to search or update an LDAP server. +
For more information on +these sample clients, see the README +file in the examples +directory. +
The Netscape Directory SDK +for Java contains the following directories: +
The netscape.ldap.beans.* +classes are not included with Netscape Communicator. If you are writing +applications that use these classes, be sure to provide these classes to +your end users. +
This directory also contains
+a makejars.batfile
+and a makejars.shshell
+script. You can use these to create JAR files for the LDAP Java beans.
+
+
Make sure that you update +your CLASSPATH +variable to point to the following files: +

+Inc. home page at http://www.oroinc.com/.
