Base64-encoding data is found in places all over the IT world and in home users' systems as well. Being able to encode data in Java or ECMAScript/JavaScript can be valuable when those are the languages available to you. This sample shows how to convert from one format to another and eventually encode data for use within a directory like eDirectory.

Geoff Carman takes a look at some of the error codes he has had for the eDirectory driver for Identity Manager and explains what happened and how to fix them.

Have you ever been coding Java and suddenly wanted to do something using loosely-typed variables or worked out an issue with a little less Java-ness? Have you ever wanted to take advantage of the familiarity people have with some languages (ECMAScript/JavaScript) while still using something that is not a web browser as an environment? Have you ever wanted to debug your JavaScript without refreshing a web page and your cache that just won't seem to ever refresh properly for you? This and more will be covered today with practical examples in both the Novell Identity Manager (IDM) and Novell Sentinel applications plus any other Java-based applications that you may have around your own environment.
