At Brown, we are starting a project to significantly expand our use of groups in our provisioning infrastructure, and before we go too far down the road, I'd like to hear what experience is out there to favor one LDAP server vendor over another. We're currently running SunOne 5.2, but we feel the need to look before we leap--do any of the major directory vendors have a noteworthy performance, scalability, configurability, or other advantage over the others in any particular situations?
We're obviously reluctant to take on more work than we have to, so the incentive to switch vendors would need to be very high. But this is the time to do it, when the schema and application base that uses the directory is relatively simple. The short list of vendors might include the 5 listed below, but if "Joe's LDAP Server and Pizza" has a good product, it would be interesting to hear about that, too.
