The Apache Directory Project Announces LDAPv3-Certified Server

[Posted October 10, 2006 by cook]

The Apache Software Foundation has announced the availability of ApacheDS 1.0, a Java-based embeddable LDAP server. "Aiming to build an enterprise directory server platform, the Apache Directory Project created ApacheDS 1.0 as an LDAPv3 server with the ability to plug in other protocol modules. ApacheDS 1.0 contains other Internet protocol services such as DNS, DHCP, Change Password, and Kerberos, which store their records within a common store and allow access to that data through LDAP. ApacheDS 1.0 enables the pluggable services to back their data within the Apache Directory Server's backing stores without any network latency or going through the LDAP line protocol."
