Thanks Maciej.
For your information, starting with SDM 7.6 you will be able to both reverse and forward engineer password digests. Until then this is a great tool.

Hi Thomas,
from my perspective SDM urgently needs two extensions: password digest recovery and something like a jndi import/export tool (example: http://www.psdn.com/library/entry!default.jspa?categoryID=1718&externalID=4397).
Do you know if the 7.6 will be able to export/import jndi administered objects?
Anyway, imo it is always good to be able to serialize password digest and jndi adm. objects even if you don't want to work with SDM as it might make the setups and migrations easier...

Hi maciej,
I agree with your comments and these enhancements are already considered. Only one of them though (Passwords) made it into 7.6. JNDI support won't be in 7.6 but is strongly considered for the next release. Until then the JNDI loader you pointed out is the tool of choice.

Thomas
I agree about the JNDI loader. The passwords extension doesn't seem very useful, unless you are reverse engineering an existing environment. Without the JNDI extension, SDM is not a one-stop deployment tool, which it aims to be.
Currently we have implemented SDM in a new environment and it works perfectly, except for the JNDI objects. We still have to create those manually after updating the install with SDM. This is a pain, because we aim to have a totally human-free production environment.
