The main problem often with OpenLDAP is the data corruption upon abrupt system restarts. We end up running the recovery scripts quit often. Also the slurpd data replication proves complicated to maintain. I am using OpenLDAP on the windows platforms. :-(
I fancy the ApacheDS replication, tolerance to abrupt restarts. Also the stored procedures.

So it's up to you. Test it, and use it if it fits your need. We don't claim to be better than OpenLdap, we are just another Open Source Ldap server ! -- -- cordialement, regards, Emmanuel Lécharny www.iktek.com directory.apache.org
