LdapSaisie is a Web application developed to manage LDAP directory. It has been written in PHP / JavaScript and is published under the GNU GPL license. This application is designed to abstract the complexity of the directory through a simple and intuitive administration interface. It was designed with the objective of maximal modularity and easy extension or adaptation: you can use modules, extensions and plugins. LdapSaisie allows any system administrator to manage data stored inside a LDAP server, and thus administrate its information system in a simple manner. It's also possible to let users access their own data, with read-only or read-write access.

Upgrade

Using Debian packages

When using Debian packages, the upgrading process to pretty simple: just upgrade the package:

apt-get update
apt-get install ldapsaisie

Once the application has been updated, paid attention to new features and points of vigilance described in official documentation (in french).

Using Git

When using git, you could use the upgradeFromGit.sh which automates the update if you have followed the installation procedure for it.

This script will then take care of:

• Clean the working-tree Git from the symbolic links of the local files (and possibly the theme) set up during a previous execution;
• Empty the template cache;
• Update the Git working-tree via a git pull;
• Install symbolic links for local files. In case of locally modified files, the script will notify you and will allow you to simply update your local file (via a vim -d);
• Detect changes in the MO files (translation) and in this case trigger a reload of the web server to be taken into account;
• Option: to compile an up-to-date local version of the documentation;

Once the application has been updated, paid attention to new features and points of vigilance described in official documentation (in french).
