JXplorer 3.3.1.1 - Security Refresh

2014-11-27T04:29:23.987000Z

JXplorer 3.3.1.1 contains a number of new security features.

By default secure connections are now TLS - using older SSL protocols is still possible, but must be deliberately enabled in the config file (jxconfig.txt)
We have added an 'advanced' window for the password editor, that displays more information about the password encoding, the hash value, and the salt in use.
We have added SHA-256, SHA-512, SSHA-256 and SSHA-512 to the list of supported algorithms that can be generated client side in JXplorer.

This is a release candidate - there are no known issues with the above functionality, but if you do find anything not working, please let the release team know via the jxplorer-devel@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list.

JXplorer: release candidate 1: verstion 3.2.1

2012-10-15T21:04:02.164000Z

A free java ldap client with LDIF support, security (inc SSL, SASL & GSSAPI), translated into many languages (inc. Chinese), online help, user forms and many other features. Support at: jxplorer-users@lists.sourceforge.net or: http://jxplorer.org This is a minor release with some incremental improvements and minor bug fixes. At the same time we have moved to using the sourceforge subversion repository, and cleaned up the build so that a full checkout provides a buildable image. (We've also created a single 'package' that gives a complete working and buildable project image, as well as a smaller 'deploy' package that just give you the browser). Some minor packaging wrinkles still to be sorted, but otherwise if the release candidate checks out we'll make this the 3.2.1 release. JXplorer Version 3.2.1 Release Notes =================================== ... This is a minor release with some incremental improvements, but a lot of changes to the build and source control system. * Support for loading LDIF files as command line argument * Support for displaying raw password strings in table editor using 'mask.raw.passwords=false' in jxconfig.txt * Some fixes for MAC look and feel; added GTK look and feel * Added beginnings of Taiwanese chinese language file - only partial. Reformated chinese to be traditional chinese file. * Added stand alone 'smart keystore editor' as a sub-project of JXplorer (separate target in ant build, creates an executable jar file) * Work on ant build file; making sure that shell script permissions are maintained * Moved source to subversion repository, restructured to allow 'single check out, single build'; more modifications to build file. Thanks to evereasy@gmail.com for the Taiwanese language file Thanks to Pawel Zuzelski for the LDIF code GTK L&F suggested by Alfonsas Stonis Executable jar file version of smart keystore editor from Santthosh Babu Selvadurai

JXplorer version 3.2 released

A new 'official' version of JXplorer, release 3.2 is out. This replaces the previous stable version release 3.1, and includes all the bug fixes and improvements of the last couple of years. In addition we have a shiny new admin guide (see http://jxplorer.org, or get it from the sourceforge download area).

JXplorer version 3.2 (beta 3) released

This is a stable release with various small bug fixes and binary install packages for the more common OSs. - Chris

JXplorer v3.1 final release and web site update

2012-10-15T21:04:01.917000Z

JXplorer v3.1 has been released with numerous improvements, bug fixes and stability enhancements. The http://jxplorer.org web site has been updated to point to this new version, and people should use the 3.1 release in preference to the older 3.0 release. There are a large number of new features and fixes, including many submitted by users, that have not been included in this release in order to keep it stable; we'll be putting out a 3.2 beta (probably at the end of April) so we can start testing these. There is also still some work to do on the OSX install version, but it's coming soon :-) - Chris

JXplorer v3.1 rc5 release

2012-10-15T21:04:01.838000Z

The latest 3.1 release candidate is now available... fingers crossed, this may finally be the proper 3.1 release :-). Executable install packages also available for most major platforms.

JXplorer v3.1 release candidate available

2012-10-15T21:04:01.789000Z

JXplorer is a fully functional ldap browser written in java with a pluggable architecture, plug in security providers, ldif support, i18n support, online help, user configurable html forms for data display and much, much more. A stable release candidate for JXplorer 3.1 is now available for download; if it checks out it will become the 3.1 release. This release includes a bunch of new security goodies, such as improved SSL handling with browser-like detection of server certificates, optional client side password hashing, and kerberos support. Otherwise, a number of bug fixes and some internal code refactoring. If the second release candidate is good (the first had a minor gui problem with kerberos passwords) I'll make the OS specific install packages and re-release in a week or so! You can find this release candidate here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=55394&package_id=52565

JXplorer.org has been set up, and has the documentation, faqs etc. that were previously on pegacat.com/jxplorer. The site is due for a refit :-), but in the meantime is a good source for more JXplorer info.
