1 Eldap Release Notes

This document describes the changes made to the Eldap application.

  • Add missing dependency to asn1 application

    Own Id: OTP-18810

  • Added a new function eldap:info/1 that returns the socket and the transport protocol for the eldap connection.

    Own Id: OTP-18480

    Own Id: OTP-15775

    This change also affects public_key, eldap (and inet doc).

  • A race condition at close could cause the eldap client to exit with a badarg message as cause.

    Own Id: OTP-15342 Aux Id: ERIERL-242

  • If the underlying tcp connection is closed and an LDAP operation returned tcp_error, the client applications tend to close the ldap handle with eldap:close. This will cause a {nocatch, {gen_tcp_error, ...}} exception.

    Such errors are now ignored during close, because the socket will be closed anyway.

    Own Id: OTP-13590 Aux Id: PR-1048

    A new test utility for testing appup files is added to test_server. This is now used by most applications in OTP.
