OpenLDAP is an open-source implementation of the platform-independent Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) developed by the OpenLDAP Project and is released under its own BSD-style license called the OpenLDAP Public License.[3] Several common Linux distributions include OpenLDAP Software for LDAP support. The software also runs on BSD-variants, as well as AIX, Android, HP-UX, Mac OS X, Solaris, Microsoft Windows, and z/OS.

Product history

The OpenLDAP Project was started on August 25, 1998 by Kurt Zeilenga, followed up with a release of version 1.0 the next day.[2][1] The project started by cloning the LDAP reference source from the University Of Michigan, where a long-running project had supported development and evolution of the LDAP protocol. The program moved up to version 2.0 a couple of years later.[4]

As of May 2012, the OpenLDAP Project has three core team members: Howard Chu (Chief Architect), Pierangelo Masarati, and Kurt Zeilenga.[5]. There are numerous other important and active contributors including Luke Howard, Hallvard Furuseth, Quanah Gibson-Mount, and Gavin Henry.

Additionally, the OpenLDAP Project is home to a number of sub-projects:

  • Fortress - Role-based identity access management Java SDK
  • JLDAP - LDAP Class Libraries for Java
  • JDBC-LDAP - Java JDBC - LDAP Bridge Driver

Features

Some of the primary features of OpenLDAP include[6]:

  • LDAPv3 support
  • IPv6 support
  • LDAP over IPC
  • updated C API
  • LDIFv1 support
  • enhanced stand-alone LDAP server

Hardware/software requirements

OpenLDAP installation requirements vary based on the features desired. Those prerequisites can be found on OpenLDAP's FAQ-O-Matic.
