Announcing New V2 CalNet Directory Service

Attention CalNet Application Developers:

After over two years of development, we are pleased to announce the
official release of the v2 CalNet Directory Service.

The v2 Directory Service represents a significant upgrade to the CalNet
Directory Service and has several new architectural and performance
features that will allow the new service to be reliable, scalable, and
extendable. The features that are of most interest to application
developers are: a "distributed" data model, revised schema, proxy
servers, off-site servers, and per-bind performance/access settings.

The CalNet v2 Directory Service is now available and developers can
begin converting their current v1-based applications to use the new service.

For more information about the v2 Directory Service, please see:

* The new v2 Attribute Schema Dictionary:

Note: The CalNet Team will continue to support and maintain the existing
v1 Directory Service well into 2007 in order to give developers of
existing CalNet-enabled applications a reasonable amount of time to
modify their code to use the new v2 Directory Service. Ideally, we would
like all v1-based applications to be converted to the v2 service by July
of 2007.

We look forward to hearing your feedback regarding the new service as
well as assisting existing applications through the conversion process.

Cheers,

The CalNet Team
