Singlestep Technologies Corp., a developer of enterprise software, has released the LDAPBrowser for Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar. It’s built with VNOS, the Visual Network Operating System, an integration and object-oriented programming platform with more than 35 widgets and tools for building, extending and modifying applications.
LDAP, or Light Directory Access Protocol, is a software protocol for enabling anyone to locate organizations, individuals and other resources such as files and devices in a network. The LDAPBrowser runs the ldapsearch command and parses the results into a view-only Browse Tree, according to MacTech magazine .
The LDAPBrowser is released with browse-only functionality. However, because the LDAPBrowser is built with VNOS, creating policies and extending the application can be done by Cloning and Aliasing VNOS objects. Users can extend, modify, add and delete functionality, apply policies and manage events to customize the application to meet their specific needs. The LDAPBrowser uses 14 widgets including Command Tool, PopUp Menu, Regex and Value Filters to run the ldapsearch commands, filter, and parse results, and manage the security protocols. Users can Alias, Clone, and Connect other widgets and tools to customize the application.
The LDAPBrowser is free and is now available for download. VNOS 1.1 is required, and is also available from Singlestep Technologies.
