A Primer on OpenDS

Interested in what the OpenDS Project is about? Be sure to read the recent interview on DZone with Ludo Poitou, senior staff engineer at Sun and OpenDS community manager. You'll learn about the related standards and specifications, the numerous OpenDS features that serve the enterprise, the background for two directory-server projects at Sun, the database aspect of OpenDS, and other highlights.

Note that Sun OpenDS Standard Edition, which is identical to OpenDS, is available as a commercially supported product from Sun. Also, you can grab OpenDS from the OpenSolaris IPS package repository—easy as pie.

Ludo encourages OpenDS deployers to share their stories. Do participate!
