Isode's XMPP Strategy

In a series of previous blog posts we've explained why we think that XMPP (eXtensible Messsaging and Presence Protocol) is the best open standard for providing presence and real-time messaging services.

It will not therefore come as a surprise to learn that we are planning our own server based on the XMPP protocol (which is somtimes referred to as 'Jabber').

In a whitepaper posted recently on our website we outline why we think that presence and real-time messaging are important to our customers, why we've chosen XMPP and why we are building our own product instead of integrating with an existing XMPP server.

The whitepaper is available here. If you're interested in joining the beta program for this new product, please get in touch using the contact form on our website.

First International LDAP Conference

The first International LDAP Conference, organised by the German Unix Users Group, takes place in Cologne on the 6th & 7th of September this year (more information here).

Isode's Kurt Zeilenga is giving the conference's introductory presentation, a report on current directory standardization activities, and we'll be posting a report on the conference as soon it's over.

We published a new LDAP whitepaper today on our website. 10 new LDAP RFCs were published in June 2006 (RFCs 4510-4519) to provide a new LDAPv3 specification and to replace RFC 2251 and a number of related specifications. The goal of the new whitepaper is to guide those with some basic knowledge of LDAP quickly through all of these documents. The paper, The LDAP Standard Specification, can be found by following the link.
