Console2
This is a simple application that can replace some iManager/Designer/ConsoleOne/dxcmd functions.
The main goal is to collect all the functions that I use the most in one application.

New in v2.7

+ Starting/Stopping a driver will now popup a progress dialog.
It will also update the driver status icon after the operation completes.
The progress dialog is displayed for a maximum of 10 seconds while the driver
is starting/stopping. If the operation takes more than that you will get a message
telling you that the outcome of the operation could not be determined.
Closing the progress dialog (pressing Cancel), has no effect on the operation, it
will just close the dialog.

* Restart driver button displays a progress bar when click.

* Moved the "Show IDM Drivers" button.

* When clicking on the "Search" button the IDM drivers panel will be hidden.
Click on "Show IDM Drivers" to show the drivers panel again.

+ Added a "root DSE Viewer" under the Extra menu allowing you to view the root DSE entry
of an LDAPserver. It will also display a description of some LDAP extensions and controls.

* Added search button to the base DN text field in Associations Manager
allowing you to search for a base DN.

* Added a "Base DN" text field next to the "Attribute" drop-down.

+ Added a Display LDAP filter button to Association Manager that will show you
the LDAP filter that will be used for the search. You can then try the LDAP
filter in an LDAP browser such as Apache Directory Studio.

+ Added a "Test result" button to Association Manager that displays all list
of all entries that will be affected. You can double click the entries in the list
to display a simple attribute viewer showing all attributes including operational attributes.
You can copy the DN by selecting an entry and right clicking or pressing
CTRL+C on the keyboard.

* Better information in the "Associations Manager" in case you enter an invalid LDAP filter.

- Fixed an issue that occurred when loading an encrypted profile. If you entered
the wrong decryption password you could not click "Load profile" again and enter
the correct password because you would not be prompted. You had to restart
the application. Now if you enter the wrong password and click "Load profile"
again, you will be prompted for the correct password.

+ Added support for anonymous binds, if you leave the User and Password fields
blank then an anonymous bind will be attempted.

+ Added new function: Export eDirectory CA public key in the Extra menu.
Allows you to export the eDirectory root CA public key to DER or Base 64 format.
Instead of using iManager or ConsoleOne. Useful when you need the certificate
for Remote Loader, for ICE or some other utility that wants to verify the server
certificate.

* Changed some debug mode functionality. Increased the level of detail that is logged to file.

- Small bugfixes, text adjustments.

+ Support for connecting to Lotus Domino LDAP servers. Tested with v8.5.3.

+ Support for connecting to Microsoft ADLDS servers. Tested with 2008 R2.

* Updated Logback library to v1.0.3

* Updated UnboundID LDAP SDK library to v2.3.1

- Fixed a bug with the "Change Server" button when switching between different servers in the same
driverset. It wasn't working since v2.5.

+ Added "Check for new version" under the Help menu, it takes you to the Cool Solutions page.

README:

System Requirements:
Client:
Minimum screen resolution: 1280x768 - absolute minimum that is.
Oracle Java JRE 1.6.0_21 or higher
If you are going to save profiles I recommend the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 6 which can be downloaded
from here (near the bottom of the page):
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/down...
Client tested on Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64.
It /should/ work on "any" platform with the correct JRE.

Serverside requirements:
eDirectory with LDAP(S)
Tested with:
IDM 3.6.1/4.0.0/4.0.1 on Linux
eDirectory 8.8.5/8.8.6 on Linux
It /should/ work with IDM 3.5.0 or higher but I haven't tried (if using IDM functions).

Known Issues:
* The simple paged result control used for the "Association Manager" function doesn't
seem to work on NetWare 6.5.SP8 with eDirectory 8.8.4.
Haven't tested it with a newer version of eDirectory on NetWare.
Use asynchronous/synchronous mode instead.

* The main GUI isn't threaded which means if you do something like click on "Show IDM Drivers" which performs a search like (objectClass=DirXML-Driver) it looks like the program has hanged while it's actually working, waiting for a reply from the server. This can take a couple of minutes if the tree has alot of objects (tested with over 1 million objects it took about 2 minutes 30 seconds on an "old" PC (AMD Athlon 64) with a 5400 rpm disk where the Object Class attribute wasn't indexed), but it will respond eventually.

* The IDM extended operations don't work reliably on 64-bit eDirectory where the ndsd process has allocated a large amount of memory (tested with 2-4GB).
The operation fails with the following error in DSTrace:
10:34:37 40D0B940 LDAP: DoExtended on connection 0x6dd41a00
10:34:37 40D0B940 LDAP: DoExtended: Extension Request OID: 2.16.840.1.113719.1.14.100.7
10:34:37 40D0B940 LDAP: malloc of 9 bytes failed
10:34:37 40D0B940 LDAP: Unable to alloc data memory in NLDAPSetResponseBer
10:34:37 40D0B940 LDAP: Sending operation result 0:"":"" to connection 0x6dd41a00
