Legacy
This connector is a development dead-end. It is JNDI-based connector. JNDI is a very bad API for LDAP and it has severe limitations. This connector is not maintained any more. It is not supported. It is no longer actively developed. Use the new LDAP Connector instead whenever possible. |
This connector originated from Sun ICF, taken over by OpenICF and then taken over by Polygon. We do not recommend use of the original or OpenICF version. The Polygon version has significant improvements over all other versions. However, even the Polygon version is considered to be a legacy and it is not recommended.
