Fedora directory users - Jan 2010 - [389-users] Can Fedora DS be used as Inventory Management System?

Can 389 Server be used as Inventory Management System like Hardware ,
Software, Machines Details, RAM details etc.
What purpose can we use 389 Server for?

Sounds like a solution looking for a problem?

There are a couple interesting scheme''s that could be used to track
hosts
(take a look):
objectClass: ieee802device
objectClass: iphost

However- I think with the way most organizations treat ''inventory
management'', I''d avoid storing this info in a Directory; it
seems better
suited for a relational database.

There are softwares to do inventory that works very well, better than a 
solution on a ldap server, here at work, we use OCSinventory 
http://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/ coupled with à tracker/helpdesk system : 
GLPI http://www.glpi-project.org/spip.php?lang=en.
In fact the users account are in the 389 server and a user can connect 
to OCSng or GLPI with the account in the 389 server.
