Dear, dear me...In
Centeris opens Active Directory to open source:
What about LDAP[?], the Internet directory standard, I asked.
“We looked at lots of technologies, but first we listened to our enterprise customers. They want to leverage technology in place, and Active Directory has a powerful policy engine. LDAP doesn’t have that. We don’t take a stand. We just go where the customers are.”
That, however, is the other side of the coin here. Microsoft is allowing integration with Active Directory, but over time it hopes LDAP will wither due to a shortage of competitive enterprise features.
So,
[Microsoft] hopes LDAP will wither due to a shortage of competitive enterprise features.
Sorely mistaken.
Another hook into Microsoft technology. What is wrong with
pam and nss ldap[?]....Oh, it's Open Source of course.
