Hello list! |
| 2 |

I'm planning to replace an Active Directory server currently functioning |
| 4 |
*only* as an LDAP server, with a dedicated Linux-based LDAP server. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Now, the function of the LDAP server is at the moment: |
| 7 |
* Provide the settings database for Axigen email server |
| 8 |
* Provide group membership for BlueCoat proxy (who allowed to access what) |
| 9 |
* Provide group membership for FreeRADIUS |
| 10 |
* Provide group membership for Fortinet VPN |
| 11 |
|

The day-to-day management will be handled be another division, and I'm |
| 13 |
quite sure that they prefer a GUI, so the solution really should have a GUI |
| 14 |
support (either Windows-based 'client' or web-based admin console). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Apparently, there are now many implementations of LDAP in the *nix world, |
| 17 |
such as OpenLDAP, OpenDS, ApacheDS, and 389DS. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Have any of you experiences with them? Which one do you think is the most |
| 20 |
mature and supported? And, quite importantly, which one has a GUI front-end? |
