Hi Rado,
Great work, just in time for our PoC.

Is it compatible with 3.1.1?  I hope yes :-)

> I've just merged a code to support new LDAP connector into the midPoint
> development master branch. There are several things to keep in mind when
> using the master since today.
>
> 1) There is a new LDAP connector. It is a complete rewrite. The old one
> was JNDI-based CDDL-licensed legacy from the Sun times. Due to the
> overcomplicated code and the inherent JNDI limitations this connector
> was a development dead end. The new connector is based on Apache
> Directory API and it is licensed under Apache Licence.
>
> 2) The new LDAP connector is fixing some of the fundamental issues of
> the old connector. And therefore I have decided NOT to keep it backward
> compatible because backward compatibility will require to also keep some
> of the annoying problems of the old connector. Therefore the new LDAP
> connector has a different connector type and slightly different
> configuration properties. For now you can have a look at the test
> resource files for inspiration (e.g.
>
> https://github.com/Evolveum/midpoint/blob/master/testing/sanity/src/test/resources/repo/resource-opendj.xml
> ).
> I will be updating the samples and wiki shortly.
>
> 3) The new LDAP connector is trying to avoid using the confusing
> concepts of __ACCOUNT__, __NAME__ and other Sun legacy concepts.
> Therefore the new LDAP connector is no longer using "AccountObjectClass"
> in the definitions. Use "inetOrgPerson" or any other real LDAP object
> class instead. The new LDAP connector is also not using the confusing
> "icfs:name" and "icfs:uid" attributes. Simply use real (pseudo)attribute
> names instead, e.g. "ri:dn" and "ri:entryUUID".
>
> 4) The old LDAP connector still works. It is no longer shipped with
> midPoint but it can be downloaded and installed as any other extra
> connector. The binary is in our maven repo:
>
> http://nexus.evolveum.com/nexus/content/repositories/releases/com/evolveum/polygon/connector-ldap-legacy/1.4.0.50/
> The connector bundle name has changed from
> com.evolveum.polygon.connector-ldap to
> com.evolveum.polygon.connector-ldap-legacy to distinguish these two
> connectors. This has to reflected by changing the connector
> configuration namespace. See resource-opendj-legacy.xml file in sanity
> tests as the example
> (
> https://github.com/Evolveum/midpoint/blob/master/testing/sanity/src/test/resources/repo/resource-opendj-legacy.xml
> )
>
> 5) The new LDAP connector seems to be mostly feature complete and
> reasonably stable. But it is still relatively new code. Therefore use
> with care. The real testing of the connector is planned for next couple
> of weeks.
>
> These things will also apply to the 3.2 release. Any comments and
> suggestions are more than welcome.
