Peter, what does "timezone" look like on your platform?  I noticed in
dt_time.c (a new file), in dt_time_edit_window(), it refers to "timezone"
as extern long, but on all my platforms (FreeBSD, BSD/OS), it's actually
"char * timezone(int zone, int dst)".

Here's the man page:

NAME
     timezone - return the timezone abbreviation

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     char *
     timezone(int zone, int dst);

DESCRIPTION
     This interface is for compatibility only; it is impossible to reliably
     map timezone's arguments to a time zone abbreviation.  See ctime(3).

     The timezone() function returns a pointer to a time zone abbreviation for
     the specified zone and dst values.  Zone is the number of minutes west of
     GMT and dst is non-zero if daylight savings time is in effect.

SEE ALSO
     ctime(3)

HISTORY
     A timezone() function appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.

This is a tough request ;-), I'll do my best  (just looking up the
Changelog..): (I probably should have used the following as the Changelog
for the beta1 distribution...)

User visible changes:
* There is a popup menu when right-clicking on an attribute label (except
  for "dn" and "objectClass". It allows to view schema information and it
  allows to change how the attribute should be presented visually (the
  "display type", in lack of a better name)
* Added a new display type for the generalizedTime LDAP syntax. It allows
  to choose the day using a calendar. Very convenient if one has to enter
  such timestamps. Actually, this syntax isn't used very often, in my
  stock openldap servers this syntax only gets used for the birthDay
  attribute of class "personalInformation". I use this syntax in my own
  objectClasses though (eg. implementing LDAP based  vacation e-mail
  replies).
* When turing on "show referrals" in the serer preferences the "ref"
  attribute is shown. This is currently mainly useful to get an impression
  of how references ought to work, this feature will probably change in
  the future.
* Password get stored encoded (NOT encrypted) in the configuration file.
  This is just to hide clear-text passwords from the occasional view
  others may glimpse if you open the .gq file in a text editor (even if
  there is no reason to do so)
* Due to password encoding the cofngiuration file syntax was changed in a
  backwards-incompatible way!! gq asks if it should upgrade the
  configuration upon start and refuses to change the configuration later
  on if one does not upgrade.
* A new entry in the popup menu of a search result (in a search
  tab) allows to find the object in a browser window. This allows to enter
  objects into the browse tree that might not be found otherwise, eg.
  because of a sizelimit.  From that entry, the tree below it can be
  browsed.
* The base DN combobox in search tabs can be changed now. This is good for
  searches where one needs a different base.  See
  http://www.ldap.research.netsol.com/ldapsearch.html where this can be
  useful.
* Japanese L10N, for those who need it, better support for languages
  having different needs for embedding numbers in messages than
  english/german.
* LDAP URI support instead of hostname + port, this also allows to used
  ldaps:// URIs (that is LDAP over SSL, which is different to STARTTLS)
* The "Add as new" button in the browser
* Allow for the use of the "extensibleObject" class by allowing to add
  attributes to such an object.
* Allow to hide empty attributes from the browser.
* "Beautified" some dialogs
* Added tooltips


Not directly visible changes:
* Bugfixes (some of them were serious, avoid a lot of core-dumping)
* Improvements in LDAP error handling
* gq takes a command-line option "-d" if built with debug support:
   -d 1 shows error numbers in error messages.
   -d 4 constantly displays memory usage on standard out (better if it is
        a tty, actually)

Seem so ;-)

Well, the 'extensibleObject' is about allowing to add attributes to
objects that are not named in any of the object's objectclasses. I
sometimes use this to add an eg. "description" attribute to an object that
does not have this attribute already due to its objectclasses. An
alternative would be to add an objectclass that has this attribute, but
usually you get a lot of other possible attributes with it as well... It
might not be good style, but....

Well, I just copied that URL for the browser when I did a test download,
The point is that the sourceforge d/l system almost insist to be used
interactivly. Does anybody know if there is a way to d/l from sourceforge
in an automated way??

I also found out it was no longer included, well, I think I have to
contact them directly, could be that they simply missed the last
updates... Have you checked if they have _any_ LDAP browsing tool
included?

Additionally, I would like to point out that a SPEC file is included in
the source distribution. It still has some issues, though (especially on
older systems).

This is how it works currently:

red ...    The attribute was not found to be part of any objectclass of
           the entry. Hidden, directory specific attributes fall into this
           category. This is also true for attributes added to an object
           of class "extensibleObject" (which allows to use any attribute)
           when such an object is retrieved from the LDAP server. Note that
           the first time you add an attribute to an "extensibleObject" it
           gets purple instead.
orange ... The attribute belonged to an objectClass that has been deleted
           in the browser. This attribute will be deleted on the server
           when you apply the changes.
blue ...   The attribute is a required attribute of at least one named
           objectclass (denoted as a MUST attribute in the schema
           definition). The DN and the "objectClass" attribute are
           required implicitly.
black ...  An allowed attribute (according to the schema). (denoted as a
           MAY attribute in the schema definition)
purple ... The attribute has just been added using the top right icon in
           the browser. This only works if the object is of class
           "extensibleObject". If you apply such an attribute and then
           refresh the browser, the label turns red.

I am using 0.7.0beta1 for some days. No problems found.
Could you please summarize the new features in detail, so that
I (and some others I hope) test them systematically.

What I tested so far:
- the hide/show empty attributes button works fine without problems.
- the add as new feature works fine without problems.

I really have no idea what to do with the "Adds an attribute to an object
of class 'extensibleObject' button. Hmm, seems like I have to look that
up in RFC 2252;)

I was able to make an RPM on SuSE 8.0, I just had to remove "?download"
from the following line of gq.spec:
Source:         http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gqclient/gq-%{version}.tar.gz?download

May be other RPM versions (RedHat uses RPM 4.x afaik), don't have a problem
with that? I think it's just a typo and should be removed.

I gave the RPM to a colleage for testing, he didn't use it excessively, but
did not find any problems.

You're right :)

To be honest, I didn't use 0.7.0beta1 too much so I didn't find a bug.
But what I found I liked, the new color scheme, the ability to show
internal data like modification timestamps and the option to remove all
unused attributes from a view. I have tested it on RedHat 7.2 and the
new 8.0. I just found out that the new RedHat 8.0 doesn't include GQ
anymore! Don't know what happened there, but I took the step forward and
created a 0.7.0beta1 RPM package which build and is tested on RedHat 7.2
and 8.0. Everybody interested can find it here:

http://home.teleport.ch/simix/RPMS/GQ/

May I use this opportunity to thank everybody involved in development of
GQ.
Keep up the good work!

GQ 0.6.0.

I'm new to GQ, and LDAP in general (Open LDAP specifically).  Is there any
publically-available documentation for GQ?  I've searched the web, the
archives, the home site(s), to no avail.

In particular, I'm trying to figure out the significance of the label
colours in the browser window e.g. red and blue.  From looking at the
source, it seems that "blue" means a required entry, and "red" is some
sort of warning?

Hello out there,

Though it is a great situation, it feels strange that I haven't received a
single bug report and/or comment regarding 0.7.0beta1! This allows for a
couple of explanations: ;-)

1a) It is bugfree
1b) It is perfect
2) There are bugs, but they haven't be reported.
3) Nobody tried it.
4) It is a lousy version nobody even cares to try.

As causes 2-4 are very unlikely, it must be 1a and 1b!! ;-)

I am happy...

To be honest: I would like to set a date to release 0.7.0 final, but I
would like to have some comments on the first beta:

Are there bugs (either old and/or new)?
Are the new features OK wrt usability?
Are there open issues I simply forgot to fix/implement?

Any feedback is welcome.

But as I said: The situation as-is is great. If there really are no issue,
there will be no need to have a second beta and I can go straight to
the final version.

Yes, this is possible in 0.7.0beta1 (the current beta release). Just use
an ldaps URI instead of the hostname in the server settings dialog. The
port setting then becomes irrelevant (and gets greyed out).

Eg. use:

 ldaps://my.ldap.server:456/

for an LDAP-over-SSL Server listening on port 456.

I noticed that gq only supports TLS. However,
iPlanet only seems to support SSL. Any idea on
how to get gq to speak to iplanet using SSL or
if this is possible at all ??

Hello,

I'm using gq-0.6.0. When I connect to iplanet 4.16 Directory server

These look very interesting (thanks for pointing them out), yet they do
not include a "how-to-use-gq" section. Unfortunately I do not know of any
document that really does. I am painfully aware of the complete lack of
documentation of gq in its current state, but I do not have the time to
produce one myself. AND: As it always is the case with open-source
projects, gq itself is a moving target to describe (And I really try to
move it).

So sorry to the original poster: There seems to be no reference to gq...
at least there is none "officially".

Having said the above, I should probably start a list of gq-resources
available somewhere below www.biot.com/gq/... Better yet: somebody else
would take care of such a list.... (hint :-) )

Sir,
I am a beginner in working with LDAP. I have installed
Red Hat Linux 7.1 and openldap-stable(2.0.25) on the
linux machine.
I have also installed gq-0.6.0 . I have searched in
the internet for some manual/help regarding how to
operate the tool, but have found none.
Can you suggest me where I can find the same if its
available.
Regards,

Some questions:
* Does this happen with other server-types as well?
  (if not, do you know of any publically accessible server where I could
   reproduce this as well?)
* can you mail me a backtrace of this coredump? This probably requires to
  have a self-compiled gq with debugging information included.
* Does it happen with the all-new, all-dangerous 0.7.0beta1 as well?

Hello,

I'm using gq-0.6.0. When I connect to iplanet 4.16 Directory server
and do a search using filter (uniquemember=cn=Joe User,ou=...), gq
does a coredump everytime. It does this regardless of who I bind as,
normal user or Directory Manager. Any ideas ??????????

Dear gq users,

I just released a beta version of the upcoming gq version 0.7.0.
0.7.0 will be an intermediate release on the way to version 1.0.
This release introduces some new features, some of which are rather
obscure, but of great use in certain situations.

Please test it, beat it and report any problems :-)

Also note that this is bleeding edge technology...


For a list of changes see the file ChangeLog in the source distribution or
at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gqclient/gq/ChangeLog?rev=1.35&only_with_tag=gq_0_7_0beta1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

IMPORTANT NOTE:

  The configuration file syntax has changed between 0.6.0 and 0.7.0 in
  a backwardly incompatible way. You should backup your old configuration,
  in case you want/need to go back to a version earlier than 0.7.0!!

That are really very nice features, respect!

Yes, along with some other very nice features. Did you try out that new
toggle button in the upper right corner of the object browser? It
hides/shows empty attributes. Also some bugfixes went into it and it is
very simple to create objects "similar" to existing ones: Just go to an
object, change its DN and hit "Add as new". Makes life a lot easier
around here.

Hi Stephan,

Could you try the attached patch? It is a really stupid patch, actually,
as it effectively only reverses[1] the order we ask for all user
attributes and all operational attributes... Yes this obviously _does_
make a difference with Novells implementation...

I would ask other people to test the current CVS version against other
server implementations, as this is actually an OpenLDAP extension...
didn't think of this when I played around with it.

[1] It also  uses symbolic names now, but this is only a cosmetic change.

Something happened between July 7th and Aug 1st, it seems to be related
to schema retrieval... BTW: 0.6.0 also works flawlessly for me.
