OpenDJ plugin development based on example-plugin
While OpenDS plugin development was fairly well documented, it has evolved with OpenDJ while available information has not. I will try here to share some of my experience which might help you save some time until the plugin API becomes stable enough to be officially documented.
Notes on OpenDJ integration with Liferay
Liferay is a popular open source portal solution written in J2EE technology. It features abundance of portlets and plug-ins, as well as many integration options for popular access management and identity solutions. Unfortunately, OpenDJ is not found anywhere in the official (or extra official) documentation. No need to worry as the set-up is more or less trouble-free.
OpenDJ integration with Samba
Although the integration of OpenDJ with Samba is not explicitly documented, it does exist for OpenDS - which, as we already know, is the same product as OpenDJ. However, what is not covered is the synchronisation for the Samba password attributes with the LDAP password. This is the aspect we would try to cover in this article.

Sun Microsystems merger with Oracle has created a gap not only in the identity market but also in the continuity of the Sun identity offterings. Once a market leader (and for the moment being still is), Sun Java System Directory Server (also known under many other marketing names such as SunONE and iPlanet) has uncertain future as the new pricing model (i.e. it is not getting any cheaper) plants the customers before a situation to look for the alternatives. What Sun tought of being it’s own open source alternative, OpenDS, does not have a very active development and the users keep asking what is the strategy of Oracle for the ex-Sun products as the roadmap has not been updated ever since the merger.

One of their products is OpenDJ, a living version of OpenDS.
Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 CLI tips: disabling a replication agreement
In case you are to perform an upgrade, a useful thing to have is a CLI way to disable and enable a replication agreement. Here’s how to do it:
- create a LDIF file named disableAgreement.ldif which would modify the replication agreement:

changetype: modify
add: ds5AgreementEnable
ds5AgreementEnable: off
- import the file:
ldapmodify -h HOST -p PORT -D rootDN -w password -f disableAgreement.ldif
To enable it:
- create a new file, enableAgreement.ldif with the following contents:
dn: cn=AGREEMENT_NAME, cn=replica, cn=SUFFIX, cn=mapping tree, cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: ds5AgreementEnable
ds5AgreementEnable: on
- import the file
ldapmodify -h HOST -p PORT -D rootDN -w password -f disableAgreement.ldif
