    • org.forgerock.opendj.ldap.LDAPOptions#getTCPNIOTransport

    • org.forgerock.opendj.ldap.LDAPOptions#setTCPNIOTransport

    The class org.forgerock.opendj.ldap.CoreMessages is Internal.

  • For all Java APIs, com.* packages are Internal.

  • The configuration, user, and application programming interfaces for RESTful access over HTTP to directory data are Evolving. This includes interfaces exposed for the HTTP Connection Handler, its access log, and also the REST LDAP gateway.
