RE: Openldap vs. IBM Directory Server

["Chapman, Kyle" <Kyle_Chapman@G1.com>]

i felt ibms product was a joke when i looked at it over a year ago.  the
stuff i was trying to do i had trouble doing with ibm ldap, notably the
forced DIT for user auth, and using different schema objects
(names/syntaxes/etc) where openldap and iplanet kept closer to some
standards.  you can always change the schema but ibm chose things to be
different much like it made aix different, to lock you into their
product line, imho. ive had openldap running for over 2.5 years doing
auth on platforms: aix,solaris,linux,tru64,hpux, freebsd(5.1)

Hey All,
We are evaluating a switch to IBM Directory Server from our current 
openldap cluster due to openldap's lack of (or should i say buggy) 
multimaster support.

I wanted to get an impression from users of this list that have 
experience with both servers, and what if any advantages OpenLdap has 
over IBM's Directory Server (which is also free).

Thanks,
Lee
