RedHat dropping OpenLDAP server support

[Quanah Gibson-Mount <quanah@symas.com>]

Hello All,

As noted in the RHEL7.4 release notes 
(<https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/7.4_Release_Notes/chap-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-7.4_Release_Notes-Deprecated_Functionality.html#idp12778832>), 
RedHat will no longer support OpenLDAP Server starting with RHEL8.

This is likely a good time to start planning your migration plans if you 
currently rely on RedHat's build of OpenLDAP. I would note that Symas 
provides certified builds for OpenLDAP with various support options 
available.  An alternative for those who do not require support and do not 
wish to build OpenLDAP themselves would be to use the LTB project builds.

Regards,
Quanah
