Are there any possibilities of upgrading OpenDJ LDAP with minimalistic downtime?

I am planning to update LDAP OpenDJ 2.6.4 version to OpenDJ 4.4.11 version. Is there any recommended way to migrate the data to the new OpenDJ 4.4.11 LDAP server with minimalistic downtime?
The expectation is to migrate the data records to OpenDJ 4.4.11 version, with minimum downtime.
OpenDJ supports replication of data between servers of different versions.
And it also supports easy upgrade from version 2 to version 4.
If you have setup high availability through replicated servers, you should be able to upgrade with no downtime of the service.

Kerberos authentication between Java application hosted in Netweaver 7.5 and Oracle database 19c

We have a Java application that is hosted in SAP Portal NW 7.5 which connects to Oracle DB through Custom JDBC datasource maintained in NWA.
Now our requirements is to include Kerberos authentication for connection between SAP Portal NW 7.5 and Oracle DB from Portal.
Kindly share your best practice approach and documents,OSS (if any) to achieve the requirements.

Can you take a look at the instructions present in JDBC developer's guide?

Azure sql database tls

How do I disable TLS versions prior to 1.2 on Azure SQL database.
I know that Azure SQL database always uses encrypted connections and supports TLS 1.2, but I want to disable previous versions of TLS.
UPDATE: As of today, SQL Azure does support a model to enforce TLS 1.2+. Announcement is here:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/sqldb-minimal-tls-version/

Connection to SQL database failed because of an error in initializing provider

I am trying to connect to an internal SQL database which allows TLS 1.2 protocol only.
I am able to log-in to the database using the SQL Server Management studio.
I'd like to connect to that same database using Excel 2013 (for a more graphic report). I have read a lot on Excel having problems with TLS1.2 and the use of ODBC Driver instead since that is the only one which supports tls 1.2.
Sadly when entering the credentials and testing the connection we receive the following error:
TEST CONNECTION FAILED BECAUSE OF AN ERROR ININITIALIZING PROVIDER. UNSPECIFIED ERROR
Does anybody have experience with using Excel to connect to SQL Server using TLS1.2? Am I doing something wrong? I'm using the Data link: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers. The normal SQL way of adding things doesn't work either but I believe that's because TLS1.2 isn't supported there.
If I recall correctly, Management Studio will connect on port 1433 by default and use the TDS protocol and really have nothing to do with TLS. So it is not surprising that it works in SSMS.
From https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sql_pfe_blog/2017/09/27/microsoft-excel-tls-sql-server-important-considerations/
For all NEW workbooks, do not use that menu option. Instead use the
"From Data Connection Wizard" and select a compliant driver from the
list. A requirement is that you have the SQL Native Client (2008 or
2012) or ODBC drivers with appropriate patches per TLS 1.2 support for
Microsoft SQL Server below.
So it seems like just using ODBC will not work unless ODBC on your machine has been patched to handle TLS 1.2.
I believe the ODBC update you need is below.

LDAP test environment

what's the best way to develop with ldap without having the connection to the productive ldap server. Can you recommend some software?
Thanks
I'd say a test instance of OpenLDAP :)
If you're more into the Microsoft space, you could also check out:
Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)
which is a Windows service based subset of the full AD. You can spin up multiple instances of AD LDS and since it's a Windows service, you can also turn it off when no longer needed.
It depends on what kind of LDAP server you have in production. Usually it's a question "AD or not AD?"
If your productions server is AD then it would be either virtual machine with a domain controller or a local instance of AD LDS (formerly ADAM).
If your production server is a generic LDAP server then there is a wide set of options. These days I would use a virtual machine with any Linux and OpenLDAP or/and Fedora Directory Server, or a local instance(s) of ApacheDS or OpenDS.
If you do not want to install/host/configure a Microsoft Server with Active Directory, you can use the following for LDAP testing purposes:

Try
https://github.com/Upekshe/simple-ldap-server
Its running a nodejs server, highly configurable, supports both ldap and ldaps
