We are running iPlanet App Server SP3 on both Solaris, NT4, and Win2K using
Merant's Type4 JDBC Drivers for SQL Server, and they work great!

You can download a 30 Day eval from
http://www.merant.com/products/datadirect/download/eval/Licenses/connect_java.asp

* Add the 4 Merant jars to to the iPlanet classpath (using kregedit).
* Run jdbcsetup and create a new ODBC data source with the following params:
        1. Driver Identifier:   sqlserver
        2. Driver Classname:    com.merant.datadirect.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
        3. Driver Classpath:    $SDKS_HOME\merant\JDBC\lib\sqlserver.jar
        4. Third Party Native: (leave blank)

Then register using resreg with an xml file similar to the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 

<ias-resource> 
        <resource> 
                <jndi-name>jdbc/sqlServer</jndi-name> 
                <jdbc> 
                        <database-url>jdbc:sqlserver://SERVER:1433</database-url> 
                        <database>DBNAME</database> 
                        <username>USER</username> 
                        <password>pass</password> 
                        <driver-type>sqlserver</driver-type>    
                </jdbc> 
        </resource>
</ias-resource>

Hope this helps!
