At Novells Brainshare Conference, I heard a couple of the companys developers touting LDAPzone.com, a handy Web site for keeping track of what is happening with LDAP, from a (theoretically) vendor-neutral viewpoint.

The site has useful information about implementing directories on a variety of operating system platforms, lots of tips and tricks, white papers, and a fairly active discussion list. One of the stated goals of the site is to host a community effort that supports and improves tools and techniques for the LDAP environment. Anyone interested in contributing to the effort should take a few moments to visit the site at www.ldapzone.com.

But dont think that the site is entirely vendor-neutral. One of the most glaring indications of this is that Novell is the only sponsor of the site and that Novell announcements are prominent throughout the site.

Pure LDAP Servers Buoy Web Services

Almost 3 years old, Active Directory is a product based on the priorities of a different time. Microsoft Corp. developed AD mainly as a corporate directory, designed to manage users and groups within large (and Windows 2000-only) organizations. Although Microsoft based AD partially on LDAP, it fell short of complete support for the directory standard—for […]
