opends

Finally got around to upgrading my OpenDS 2.2.0 to OpenDJ 2.4.3.

Clean upgrade - just followed the OpenDJ wiki.

Only change I had to make was from

./bin/rebuild-index -i dn2id -b "dc=example,dc=com"

to

./bin/rebuild-index --rebuildAll -b "dc=example,dc=com"

Rebuilding the dn2id index only left the sync-conflict index for my root backend in degraded mode.

I wanted to use LDAP to give access to the nexus repository manager from sonatype for those users who need more access than just browsing.

Note from Dominic on Freenode#opends:

Allow LDIF imports of encoded passwords: config/config.ldif, under cn=Default Password Policy,cn=Password Policies,cn=config

change ds-cfg-allow-pre-encoded-passwords : true
