Apache Directory Studio: Eclipse-based LDAP browser and directory client

Apache Directory studio is Eclipse based LDAP browser and directory client. You can use this with LDAP server. I am going to use this to communicate with ApacheDS LDAP server.

You can download and install Apache Directory Studio from following location.

Features offered by Apache Directory Studio
LDAP Browser: By using you can view the entries in LDAP server, you can perform all CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using this browser.

LDIF Editor: is a tool for editing LDIF files. It provides syntax highlighting and content assistance.

Schema Editor: used to edit schema files in openLDAP format.

Embedded ApacheDS: Apache Directory Studio bundles the latest version of the LDAPV3 certified ApacheDS. Since ApacheDS is already integrated, you can create and launch LDAP server just like that.

ApacheDS Configuration: Editor to edit the server configuration ('server.xml' and 'config.ldif' files) of an Apache Directory Server installation.

ACI Editor: The ACI Editor allows you to define, for an entry or a set of entries, graphically or manually (in souce code mode), an ACI (Access Control Information) item specification for Apache Directory Server.

Multi-Platform support: Available in Windows, Unix and Mac
Internationalization support: Currently it is available in English, French and German.

After successful installation of Apache Directory Studio, you will get following kind of User interface.




In Next post, I am going to explain How to use LDAP Browser.

You can also use Apache Directory studio as plugin in Eclipse.
