Re: OpenLDAP in Production

["Jason C. Leach" <jleach@ocis.net>]

hi,

I run it in a production scene. Week by week it manages more and more
data. Next will be our email accounts. It works great. Replicates to
a 2nd server in a different city.  Barley uses any CPU. I just added
a corporate contact list accesable by Outlook 2000, have all our user
info in it .... I have ecvelent programming support from Python and
Java.

Don't believe everything you read.
