OpenLDAP has had multi-master replication for about a year and a half. And of course OpenLDAP is about 5x faster than FDS/RHDS and every other LDAP server on the market. We can keep adding new features to OpenLDAP just by coding more dynamically loadable modules. Unfortunately none of the other LDAP products can add efficiency so easily to their code bases.hychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473250487285924085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11222552.post-42901127778992441752008-06-16T04:46:00.000-07:002008-06-16T04:46:00.000-07:00You might also consider taking a look at Fedora Di...You might also consider taking a look at Fedora Directory Server (http://directory.fedoraproject.org/) which is essentially the community version of Red Hat Directory Server, including a few useful features over OpenLDAP such as multi-master replication.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11222552.post-34991213059179022212008-05-28T06:08:00.000-07:002008-05-28T06:08:00.000-07:00I just wanted to point out that AOL went into part...I just wanted to point out that AOL went into partnership with Sun Microsystems after they bought Netscape and Sun took over the development of the original Netscape Directory server which became the iPlanet Directory Server which later became Sun One Directory Server. AOL and Sun parted ways in the iPlanet partnernsip at which time AOL got a snapshot of what was Sun One Directory Server 5.2. AOL then released versions of it's own Directory Server (AOL DS 6) based on this code which then is what it sold to Red Hat. <BR/><BR/>If you look at where Sun is now with is Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition (DSEE) 6.3 (www.sun.com/dsee) and where Red Hat is with their Directory Server you will see that Sun has continued to advance this product in many ways. Also DSEE is free to download and use and only if you need support do you have to buy a license which is far less than $12/user. Our basic list price is only $1.25/user and that includes the Directory Server, Directory Proxy Server, Virtual Directory, Active Directory Password Sync and Directory Editor while the Red Hat solution is only a core directory server with no other features that we offer.<BR/><BR/>In addition you should look at our new open source directory server project called OpenDS (www.opends.org) which is a brand new all java based directory offering that is very impressive in terms of features and performance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11222552.post-41464332121622556302008-05-27T06:02:00.000-07:002008-05-27T06:02:00.000-07:00You might be interested in:http://www.symas.com/do...You might be interested in:<BR/><BR/>http://www.symas.com/documents/Adam-Eval1-0.pdf<BR/><BR/>-- <BR/>Kind Regards,<BR/><BR/>Gavin Henry.<BR/>http://blog.suretecsystems.com<BR/>http://www.suretecsystems.com/Gavin Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07062376151053632710noreply@blogger.com
