Re: Slightly OT: Sun ONE DS vs OpenLDAP
Rigler, this is a too politic question, and you will get an answer and
another and another, some with a very politic answer, some others with a
very inclinated fashion, and etc..
Well, We are running several OpenLdap and serveral SunOne Directory
Servers.
In the last 2 years, I have had like 4 or 5 crahshes with OpenLdap, I
still want to see the first Crash of a SunOne Directory Server.
OpenLdap is very portable, you have that in your favour, but SunOne DS
is a better supported platform.
Sunone has a better administration toolkit, the Console is fairly right
and simple to use, OpenLdap still needs a a good Interface for the
administration.
You also have the Cluster thing, You can doit with SunOne services, but
how to do a Cluster with OpenLdap? I dont know how yet, may be somebody
can point us out..
For the rest of things, both are good platforms, If I need to go over
Solaris, I will go with SunOne, If I go with Linux or any flavor of BSD
I will do it with OpenLdap.
