Directory Server Implementations

---

At the time of this writing, there are a number of directory server implementations. Please note that the following list is not exhaustive and that there may well be implementations I am not aware of. The fact that I am ignorant of a particular implementation does not imply anything about its quality. Note also that this section does not contain any comments. Many products have been developed during the writing of this book, and the list is constantly changing.

• Star Alliance: This is a collaboration between Sun Microsystems and Netscape Corporation. The product offered is the Sun One server. The previous products were called i-Planet directory server and Netscape directory server.

• IBM: IBM directory server

• Novell: eDirectory available for Win2000/NT, Linux, Solaris, AIX, and Novell Netware (more information is available from the Web site of Novell)

• Oracle: Oracle Internet directory

• Critical Path: Directory server

• Computer Associates: eTrust, the former OpenDirectory

• Microsoft Corporation: Support of LDAP in active directory service

• Lotus: Directory server for use with the Lotus name and address book

• University of Michigan: The OpenLDAP project has replaced the Umich server, which is now obsolete.
