CentOS - May 2007 - Where to find RHDS (Red Hat Directory Server) ?

Hi!

In the release notes it is said RHDS will replace OpenLDAP. However, I can
only find OpenLDAP in  CentOS5. I tried to google the web but it returned
nothing useful. Does anyone know about this? Thanks.

Regards,
Wei Yu

It says OpenLDAP will be deprecated in the next release *after* RHEL 5.

I also can only find OpenLDAP in RHEL5.

AFAIK, RedHat Directory Server is sold, and may have some parts that
haven't been open sourced yet.

But there's Fedora Directory Server, that I've been using:
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Download

There's also a new package being developed in extras. You'll require:
- fedora-ds-base
- icu
- svrcore
- mozldap
- perl-Mozilla-LDAP
- nspr
- nss

The installer in that package is ds_newinst.pl, and requires a file
argument with something like:
  [General]
    FullMachineName=`hostname`
    SuiteSpotUserID=nobody
    ServerRoot=/usr/lib/fedora-ds
  [slapd]
    ServerPort=389
    ServerIdentifier=`hostname -s`
    Suffix=dc=example,dc=com
    RootDN=cn=Directory Manager
    RootDNPwd=clear_text_password

I was looking at openldap to change my old lan that is working with NIS 
and NFS to have an LDAP with some secure authentication system. All thin 
on CentOS.

Should I look at Directory server?

I see it has a graphical interface to configure, which is pretty good 
(haven't seen anything like that in LDAP).

Is it possible to make this synchronize accounts with an active 
directory server and maintain the same password in both the samba and 
posix accounts for the same user?
