In August, OpenLDAP celebrated its 20th birthday while RedHat and SUSE
announced the discontinuation of this open solution. But in contrast
Univention have announced that they will continue to support and use
OpenLDAP.
Univention see OpenLDAP as an important alternative to closed solutions
for implementing efficient user management in IT environments - even in
large projects with millions of users. In the largest UCS deployment run
by the French telecommunications provider Orange, OpenLDAP services up
to 30 million authentication accounts and has proven its utmost
scalability and stability.
Univention’s OpenLDAP and Samba specialist Arvid Requate has published a guest article at OSTechNix. He reviews the history of OpenLDAP and explains why Univention will continue to support and use OpenLDAP. Please read more at OSTechNix.
