UnboundID™ Launches New Software Development Toolkit for Next-Generation Directory Services

Free LDAP SDK Uses Latest Java Technology and Provides Ongoing Development Support

AUSTIN, Texas – February 6, 2009 — UnboundID Corp., a developer of identity management software for Internet-driven, consumer-facing architectures, has released a free software development toolkit (SDK) that can be used to create directory-enabled applications to access both the existing and the new emerging class of directory services. The UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java requires no third-party components and is also the only public Java-based LDAP SDK currently being maintained and enhanced. As a result, programmers can rely on it for current and future development needs.

"As a leading services organization for identity management, we’re excited about UnboundID releasing their LDAP SDK for Java to the development community," said Steve Giovannetti, CTO at Hub City Media. "We’ve done a lot of integration based on existing JNDI APIs which are cumbersome. The UnboundID LDAP SDK will make applications requiring identity data both faster to develop and easier to maintain. We look forward to using it with our own customer base."

The UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java leverages the advantages of Java SE 5 versions and later and provides significantly better performance and ease-of-use over other Java-based APIs. The SDK is made available under either a free "right-to-use" license or GPLv2 and gives users the right to embed and redistribute the technology. UnboundID also provides a commercial version with full technical support.

"Developing directory-enabled applications hasn’t been as easy as it should be," said Neil Wilson, Chief Architect and co-founder at UnboundID. "Existing APIs are out of date, support a limited subset of features, and can often be confusing. We’ve made our LDAP SDK easy to use and included a wide range of features and examples so that developers can spend more time writing their applications and less time trying to get data into or out of a directory server."
