Re: LDAP

I wouldn't look for it anytime soon. I recently spoke to the OID product manager about this issue, and he not only held out no hope for this, he asserted that the "correct" approach was to use meta-directory technology to sync OID with iPlanet.

He also told me that the LDAP standards are a bit loose, and that each LDAP directory vendor tends to go their own way a bit, and that consequently, interoperability is not easy to achieve.

Related to this, I seem to recall reading something the other day that led me to believe that iPlanet is somewhat in competition with Oracle's app server product. Does anyone know if this is true?

Best regards,
