OpenLDAP and Fedora Directory Server were both derived from the original University of Michigan slapd project. In 1996 the original developers of slapd became Netscape employees and developed Netscape Directory Server, which is now Fedora Directory Server. The two projects have a lot in common: support for LDAPv3 including many of the most commonly used controls and extensions; high performance (with the latest revisions of OpenLDAP 2.2.x/2.3 and BerkeleyDB 4.2.x/4.3), some form of replication, multiple back-end support, access control, and others. The OpenLDAP site has a full feature list. Here is a list of the features of Fedora Directory Server. We invite the OpenLDAP team to collaborate with Fedora Directory Server and insure cooperation and interoperability between our implementations.
