The warm blanket of test coverage
A recent email identified that Gldapo struggles to work with password type attributes. I suspected this was going to be the case, but had pushed it aside in the hope that no one would hit the problem until I had time to look at it. Passwords are a bit of a funny case as they aren’t really read/write, but there are cases when you do want to read the encrypted password hash.
It turns out...
Gldapo Support Email
I never thought I would say this… but I kinda like getting support email. Before my colleagues at work read this and start dumping all support cases on me, I am referring to Gldapo support.
Since it’s still a new project really in terms of adoption (first commit was on 07 July 2007 out of interest), support emails are a kind of vindication as they let you know that it is actually being...

Gldapo (0.6) now hosted @ Codehaus
Codehaus were kind enough to approve my request to have Gldapo hosted there. I have now released 0.6 which lives at new home of http://gldapo.codehaus.org.
This gives me some great stuff I sorely needed. Like an issue tracker and a CI and distribution in the central maven repo.
Now it feels like a real project.
A case for Maven (making Gldapo testing easier)
Gldapo uses Maven which, for those uninitiated, is a new generation build system based on that ever popular idea of “convention over configuration”.
There is a lot of maven hate about the intertubes. I am not going to get into that now (I’m on the pro side if you are wondering). What I do want to show is how I was able to add a really cool set of tests to the Gldapo build with very little...
