Ldap browser for windows

A tool that allows browsing and/or managing LDAP directories similar to how you might browse the WEB.

Java Based#

Apache Directory Studio#

Apache Directory Studio is developed as a sub-project of the Directory Top Level Project, Apache Directory Studio is an Eclipse RCP application that takes full advantage of the benefits inherent in the Eclipse platform.

Runs on Linux, OS X, or anywhere(?) you can run Java.

From the Apache Directory Project using the Apache License and with all(?) Apache Projects, it gets better and better with each release.

If you use Eclipse this is the one to use.

We have some useful information on the Apache Directory Studio.

Gawor’s LDAP Browser/Editor#

Getting hard to find. Last found it here. Not been updated for years, but it works good. Java based and runs on any client OS with Java I have tried.

JXplorer#

JXplorer is an open source LDAP browser originally developed by Computer Associates’ eTrust Directory development lab. It is a standards compliant general purpose LDAP browser that can be used to read and search any LDAP directory, or any X500 directory with an LDAP interface.

A Java-based LDAP browser and editor with a good Certificate Manager that could be run outside of browser.

There was an update to JXplorer in 2012.

We do like Simplified ldapSearch dialog.

Seems to have issues on LARGE implementations.

Windows Only#

Active Directory Explorer#

Active Directory Explorer (AD Explorer) is an advanced Active Directory (AD) viewer and editor. You can use AD Explorer to easily navigate an AD database, define favorite locations, view object properties and attributes without having to open dialog boxes, edit permissions, view an object’s schema, and execute sophisticated searches that you can save and re-execute.

Softerra Browser#

LDAP Browser is a Windows Explorer-like LDAP Directory client available for Win32 platforms. Based on Microsoft’s LDAP API.

NOTE: As far as we know this has not be updated since 2003 and we can not recommend the product.

Softerra LDAP Administrator#

LDAP Browser is a Windows Explorer-like LDAP Directory client available for Win32 platforms. Based on Microsoft’s LDAP API. Has some good export features and schema viewer. (Not free)

NOTE: Having purchased the product Aug 21, 2008 and today (Mar, 6, 2009) being asked to pay $100.00 for the software is quite expensive for the functionality. Having a policy of purchasing upgrade protection for an additional $85.00/year makes the software cost $185.00 (STILL with NO Support) and AFAIK, the most expensive product of its kind with no more functionality than Apache’s Directory Studio.

Works well and is light weight with no required registry entries. We assume you could run this from USB.
