Freeware LDAP server for Windows

For a project i needed a Windows LDAP server (client) software. I try out some commercial and freeware tools. Add the end i like Apache Directory Server the most. So if you are searching for a freeware easy to use LDAP solution for Windows checkout this product.

Apache Directory Server
ApacheDS is an embeddable directory server entirely written in Java, which has been certified LDAPv3 compatible by the Open Group. Besides LDAP it supports Kerberos 5 and the Change Password Protocol. It has been designed to introduce triggers, stored procedures, queues and views to the world of LDAP which has lacked these rich constructs.

Apache Directory Studio
The Studio is an LDAP client platform. It is composed of an Eclipse RCP Application and a set of plugins. Primarily it is built to be used with ApacheDS, but it should work with any LDAP server.

Missing Administration tools in Windows XP

Problem:
If you miss the “Administration tools” menu in Windows XP. How can i access these tools without this menu?

Solution:
All the tools in the Administrative tools folder point to Management Console files. Do a search on your Windows system for c:\windows\system32\*.msc and you’ll find them. The make a shortcut on the desktop to access them!

Tip: Windows disk manager tool can be start by entering “compmgmt.msc” in the “Run” section!

Eclipse: editor does not contain a main type java

Problem:
Eclipse give “editor does not contain a main type” error when you start a class with contain a valid main method.

I know if I enable Maven dependency, that Eclipse will not be able to find the main method. Is it possible to take a class out of the classpath (java.build.path) if it is in the default directory?

Solution:
I had the same problem, I have to add that file to build path. after adding that file to build path. It worked fine. Go to package explorer –> build –> Add to build path || Include. This will solve the issue

Could not open `C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\lib\i386\jvm.cfg’

Problem:
I am geting this error when I enter the “java” command: “Error: could not open `C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\lib\i386\jvm.cfg'”

I have configured the PATH variable (Windows XP) and “javac” works. I cannot, however, get my programs to run because of the error every time I type “java”. Also, I did not install my JDK / SDK to the directory in which the computer is looking for the “java” cammand (ie. it is not in ‘Program Files’…). If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Solution:
Delete the “java.exe” file from “c:\windows” and “c:\windows\system32”. That should fix it.

My website was hacked!

This evening I found out that my WordPress website was hacked on 17-09-2009 10:00 localtime (Two days ago). 🙁 Not visible spam was added to the footer of this website and all downloads access rights were changed. Does anyone know how this is possible with WordPress 2.8.4? I upgraded three weeks ago my website to WordPress 2.8.4 so I personally think this hack is done with a WordPress 2.8.4 exploit!

The good news is that now everything is working normal again because i did the following things:
– Removed the spam from the footer.php template!
– Corrected the download access rights!
– Protected my score webservice against SQL insertion
– Set the unix file rights to readonly
– Changed all passwords
