It’s a maintenance release containing a number of bug fixes and improvements. One of the improvements is better integration with the SSL protocol. For example, the configuration of SSL is now much easier and the Browser is able to automatically detect the missing CA certificates of the server. Also, the DnD and the copy-and-paste interface was updated to allow copying of a DN of an entry into an attribute of another entry, thus, allowing for example, adding a user to a group, or even creating a v3 referral.

What is LDAP Browser/Editor ?

The LDAP Browser/Editor (LBE) provides a user-friendly Windows Explorer-like interface to LDAP directories with tightly integrated browsing and editing capabilities. It is entirely written in Java with the help of the JFC (SwingSet) and JNDI class libraries. It connects to LDAP v2 and v3 servers. What’s new in 2.8.1?
