Hi all

Alkacon OCEE for OpenCms is a commercial extension for OpenCms that offers
Support for LDAP, Clustering, Replication and improved performance. Full
information about OCEE is available on the Alkacon website at

The latest OCEE release version 2.1.1 is an important update that fixes a
number of potential issues and introduces some new features and additions to
OCEE version 2 for OpenCms 7.0 / 7.5. Also available is a new version 1.0.17
for older OpenCms 6.0 / 6.2 systems.

All Alkacon customers that have a valid OCEE update subscription can
download the new OCEE version free of charge. Please contact Alkacon in
order to request the details for the download.
 
Version 2.1.1 and 1.0.17 feature the following improvements:

* The OCEE Accelerator is now caching access 
  to non-existent resources to better withstand DOS attacks.
* The OCEE Accelerator now provides a statistic report 
  for cluster servers.
* Improved cluster communication and logging in the 
  OCEE Cluster Manager.
* Fixed some issues in the OCEE Cluster Manager while 
  rebuilding search indexes.
* Fixed issue in the OCEE Cluster Manager with the 
  "Set Workplace Server" function breaking the cluster connection.
* Improved logging for transaction commits in the 
  OCEE Transaction Manager.

Version 2.1.1 also features the following improvements, in addition to the
above mentioned:

* Fixed an issue in the LDAP Connector where synchronizing 
  groups of Sub-OUs was not working correctly.
* Fixed an issue in the LDAP Connector with synchronizing 
  group information when the group is only existing in LDAP.
* Fixed an issue in the LDAP Connector with loosing group-role 
  mappings when the group does not yet exist in OpenCms, 
  but only in LDAP.
* The OCEE Cluster Manager now has a function to rebuild 
  single search indexes on a cluster server.
* The OCEE Replicator features a new scheduled job for 
  automatic user synchronization.
* If replication of files fails with the OCEE Replicator, these 
  files are now preserved on the replication list in manual mode.
* Improved logging in the OCEE Replicator in case of 
  configuration errors.
* Extended the functionality of the OCEE VFS Doctor broken 
  structure plugin.

We recommend all OCEE users to upgrade their OpenCms installation to this
version.

Kind Regards,
Alex.
