LDAP Directory Services product Comparison

[Swapnil Sodegaonkar]

Is there any comparison available for the available prime LDAP based
directory service products (for example, openLDAP, ADAM, NDS, SunOne DS,
Apache DS etc).
The comparison based on Ease of user account management, Security,
performance on Windows platform, Price if not opensource, and industry
standards.

Thanks and Regards
swapnil

No, unfortunately not, AFAIK, but this URL might be a start on getting
more information of directory servers:

Yes, there are comparisons out there. But many of them are outdated or
even false. I'd recommend to create a questionnaire based on your
particular requirements to be filled out by the LDAP vendors (or
consultants in case of OSS products). Without defining your own needs
you're lost.

Ciao, Michael.

Hi Dieter,

Symas was recently asked to perform an evaluation of AD/ADAM vs
OpenLDAP. It's current, covers more than just performance, and you can
decide for yourself if it's false. In fact, we invite you or anyone else
who is interested to cross-check our findings. The report is here:

Enjoy!
