DSMLTools

dsmltools.org is the home of the DSML Tools suite, a set of Java utilities for handling Directory Services Markup Language (DSML). It deals with both version 1 and 2. DSML is directory (LDAP) data as XML.

The DSML Tools provide the following capabilities:

• Querying of any LDAP directory, with search results output as DSML
• Import of DSML data into any LDAP directory
• Directory-context validation of DSML (checking for illegal attributes in the entries, etc.)
• Calculating the differences (for a directory) of two DSML documents

In other words, if you want to manipulate directory data as XML, this software is for you. It makes all LDAP-supporting directories DSML-enabled. In addition to that, it provides the useful function of checking the integrity of generated DSML data, and showing at a glance how two data sets represented as DSML differ. Read more.

The DSML Tools are Free software, and can be downloaded at no charge. I succeed Gervase Markham supporting it. And if you find the DSML Tools useful and want to say a small thankyou, he does have an Amazon wishlist .
