Notes on the upgrade procedure for major release change

Before replacing an existing installation with MetaDirectory 6 Enterprise, please refer to the upgrade procedure.

Welcome to MetaDirectory 6 Enterprise

MetaDirectory 6 Enterprise is the new generation and further development of the powerful directory service from version 5. The LDAP (Light Weight Directory Access) server merges different databases into a single, company-wide, consistent LDAP directory. The intelligent preparation of data, such as employee and customer contacts, enables easy searching and fast presentation of results. Thanks to the standardization of data into a uniform format (LDAP schema) and the automated normalization of phone numbers, an efficient search can be performed even in large and distributed databases.

Improvements and bug fixes

Bug fixes

MetaDirectory 6 Enterprise 6.2.0.14234 

Improvements
  • Any profile can now be set as the default profile. The profile marked as default is assigned to all newly created users. All profiles can be activated and deactivated.

  • The MetaDirectory website has been given a help page for users.
  • If the Microsoft .Net 4.8 required for some replicators is not installed, a message is displayed during installation and the installation is aborted.
Bug fixes
  • If a FetchXML query was entered that did not return a result, the setup of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 replicator was terminated with an error. The replicator can now be set up.
  • The problem that the setup of the DATEV replicator was aborted with error message 0x80131534 has been resolved.
  • The user count for accessing a phone book can no longer be evaluated, so the display has been removed.
  • Problem: The MetaServer crashes when the authorization list is accessed at the same time. Access has been made more secure.
