CentOS - Jun 2005 - Fw: [Fedora-directory-announce] Fedora Directory Server news!

For those of you who have been following Red Hat's purchase of
Netscape Directory Server from AOL last fall (and possibly have been
playing with the "technology preview release" from RHN from earlier
this year), Red Hat has made good on GPL'ing it (which they were
entitled to as of April 30, 2005 per their contract with AOL).

To me, this is probably the most exciting announcement in the
Linux world in the last 5 years.  I've been deploying Netscape
Directory Server since the late '90s, and have always found
OpenLDAP to be lacking in comparison as a whole.

"The Fedora Directory Server is a world-class Directory Server
implementation.
Some of the more interesting features that are included are:
    * 4-Way Multi-Master Replication
    * Scalability: thousands of operations per second, tens of thousands
    of concurrent users, tens of millions of entries, hundreds of gigabytes of
    data
    * SSL and SASL for secure authentication and transport
    * Support for most LDAPv3 features, including many common controls and
extensions
    * Schema update over LDAP"
