We have been running LDAP Servers on z for quite a few years now. We started 
off using a freeware utility for browsing/administering the LDAP Servers but 
found that after each z/OS upgrade or maintenance, the freeware utility didn't 
handle certain things. We have now bought  Softerra LDAP Administrator/Browser 
and have had no issues to date browsing or administering LDAP Servers on z.
