Of all the open source software we use, openldap seems to be the only
server software not usable in the state shipped from our OS
distributors, so in that case Symas sounds better. Howver, according to
their website, they're heavily outdated: "Symas OpenLDAP Version 3 is
based on OpenLDAP Version 2.3.".
Url: http://www.symas.com/cds.shtml
Doesn't really matter that they employ Openldap developers when said
developer(s) always encurage latest version and they provide only older
versions.
I might get the wrong idea from their website of course, if it's
outdated or poorly presents current state of their services.
Elsewhere it seems like they do in fact ship openldap 2.4.x:

Anyway. Will look into it, as well as trying to get decent pricing from
RedHat on their Directory Server.
Thanks for the info!
