DirXML Trace Viewer 1.2.0

What's new

Start the viewer already showing something

The launchers and java -jar now take arguments, so another tool can open the viewer on a file or connected to a vault. DirXMLDev's driver.trace view does exactly that.

--open FILE                                   open a trace file
--connect URL|HOST[:PORT] --bind-dn DN        connect and stream; URL is ldaps://host:636 or ldap://host:389,
      [--search-base BASE] [--driver NAME]    a bare host means LDAPS on 636; --driver selects that driver
      [--no-legacy-ciphers]                   once the tree is built
--password-stdin                              read the bind password from the first line of stdin
--demo                                        synthetic trace, no vault
--help

The password is never an argument: it comes from the DIRXML_TRACE_VIEWER_PASSWORD environment variable or, with --password-stdin, from standard input, so it stays out of process listings and shell history. An untrusted server certificate is still shown for you to accept once; a remembered one connects without asking. With no arguments the viewer behaves as before.
