This is a great idea. A large majority of LDAP applications will most likely be hitting AD or ADAM in the enterprise. It makes sense to have an AD compatibility mode to mimic ActiveDirectory as much as possible. We have a bunch of low level concerns around compatibility but I don't think we're limited since the ApacheDS design is so flexible.
We should have some kind of DirectoryServiceFactory implementation that programmatically configures a new instance of a DirectoryService and or the server itself configured to mimic AD. We can also include in the standalone version of ApacheDS an optional ad-server.xml.
