OpenLdap - Implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

OpenLDAP Software is an open source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. The OpenLDAP Project was started in 1998 by Kurt Zeilenga. 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 suite includes,

• slapd - stand-alone LDAP daemon (server)
• libraries implementing the LDAP protocol
• utilities, tools, and sample clients

Additionally the OpenLDAP Project is home to a number of subprojects:

• JLDAP - LDAP class libraries for Java
• JDBC-LDAP - Java JDBC - LDAP Bridge driver
• ldapc++ - LDAP class libraries for C++
