v3.0, 29 Apr 2010

This new release is a complete review of the HOWTO to have it working with all latest release of OpenLDAP, PostgreSQL, pgsql-odbc and ODBC. I've also rewritten all SQL and LDIFF samples code.

This HOWTO is proved to work with PostgreSQL 8.4.3, OpenLDAP 2.4.21, unixODBC 3.2.0 and psqlodbc 08.04.0200.

Note that the use of libiodbc have been removed to the benefice of unixODBC because of a bug that makes slapd hang during the backsql_load_schema_map() call.

v2.2, 23 Apr 2010:

Upgrade this HOWTO for use with latest releases. Thanks to Aleksandar Stoisavljevic for report and all fixes.

- Add replacement of library psqlodbc.so by psqlodbcw.so
- Add replacement of program odbctest by iodbctest
- Remove reference to table ldap_referrals, no more used in latest OpenLDAP.
- Remove slapd.conf defaultaccess directive, obsolete.

v2.1, 11 Feb 2010: Add answers of common install problems. Thanks to Cristina Arias for the report.
