Why, OpenLDAP of course :)  Seriously, it is the only free slapd
I know of which compiles and installs cleanly on more than
one OS.  Join in.  Add to the knowledge base, request and/or
implement options.  Mail in you're bug reports/patches.

Someone with an Oracle server would need to look into the
Oracle hookup.  Maybe even someone at Oracle will do it.
As far as digital certificates go, define your schema and go
for it.  If you report your solutions, others can see, modify, and
maybe even improve them.  You benefit.
