Hi Juergen!

Well, IBM's LDAP Server for z/OS does use DB2 as backend and it's very
fast.
The same is true for this product on other platforms (IBM Tivoli
Directory Server is available for Solaris, Windows, ...). A major
advantage is that the LDAP server inherits some nice DB2 properties
(high availabilty features, distribution) especially on AIX.
Of course you have to map hierarchical data structures to tables but
IBM showed that this is possible.
ApacheDS architecture is quite flexible and allows you to extend the
server with your own partition implementations.
We had several questions about a JDBC or Derby partition the last
months. From my point of view it would be nice to have a JDBC partition
(reasonable/performant or not), for instance as an example on how to
write your own partition.
Unfortunately, our resources are limited (all volunteers). Currently
ather things have a higher priority. But contributions are always
appreciated. Perhaps you would like to share your experiences with
ApacheDS on z/OS, as well.
Greetings from Hamburg,
