A new version of LAZARUS was made available for download. Liza is a free tool for accessing the deleted obejcts container and recovery for deleted objects in AD environments. The new release is 1.6 now. The new version fixes some minor issues in dealing with AD LDS directories.

If LAZARUS is installed on the same computer as LEX, then LAZARUS can share connection profiles and the directory cache with LEX. The new version LAZARUS is needed to integrate smoothly with the latest LEX version 1.3.02.

The new version 1.3.000 of the LDAP browser / LDAP admin tool LEX - The LDAP Explorer is available. New features in this version:

The new Pipe Factory is integrated now: Launch any script or application directly from an objects context menu and pass the distinguished name as a command line parameter: You can build your own plug-ins now for directory object handling.
LEX can handle linked attribute now - just as an OpenLDP 'memberOf' overlay would do: If you change values of a linked atribute (eg like 'member' or 'memberOf'), LEX changes the appropriate linked attribute value at the regarding reference/backlink object also. Works also for system-reserved backlink attributes which are normally readonly: You can change for example the 'memberOf' attribute in Active Directory environments now just like a normal attribute.
...and many minor improvments, including an editor for GUID values.

LIZA v1.0 - A free tool for Active Directory Security, Permission and ACL Analysis

Mon, 05 Apr 2010 20:00:00 GMT

Today i released the first public version of Liza, my new GUI tool for analyzing AD permissions. I always found the out-of-the-box possibilities to examine the object security in Active Directory environments rather unwieldy to handle for complex permission settings. So i made a tool for fast and lucid display of container permissions and audit configurations in Active Directory environments. What i added is an analysis option: Where in the directory hierarchy are permissions granted for an account (including it's group memberships)?

When you edit the object permissions, you can take ownership on AD objects now. Many new specific editors and functions for bit flag attributes: userAccountControl, dsHeuristics, systemFlags, searchFlags, groupType, sAMAccountType. OK, that was a bunch of improvements especially for AD environments, new functions for other LDAP directory servers or new general LDAP browser functions will come in the next version ;)

LAZARUS v1.0 - A free tool for Active Directory deleted objects recovery

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 22:00:00 GMT

Yesterday i released the first public version of Lazarus, my new GUI tool for accessing the hidden Active Directory container 'Deleted Objects'. This is where a domain controller (or ADAM/AD LDS server) stores the deleted directory objects for a while, before they get deleted physically from the Active Directory database. LAZARUS can reanimate these tombstones - if you activated the new AD Recycle Bin feature in your environment, then LAZARUS can undelete the objects with their full referential integrity (no more lost group memberships!). LAZARUS is a child project in the development of my LDAP browser 'LEX The LDAP Explorer'.
