OpenLDAP – Directory Management with Open Source

A central user management running on LDAP or Active Directory is standard these days. The server software OpenLDAP integrates the IETF standard LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) and serves as a reference system for other implementations based on this protocol. There are many commercial LDAP servers; however, with OpenLDAP there is an open source option available which is free and has some additional advantages:

With OpenLDAP

  • you use one of the most powerful LDAP implementations.
  • you benefit from the enormous flexibility that allows the application to adapt to the performance of your hardware.
  • your IT infrastructure gains vital stability.

OpenLDAP is a collaborative project aiming to create a fully-featured open source LDAP suite providing applications and development tools. The project is administrated by a global community of developers. The Internet serves as a planning and developing platform as well as a medium to communicate the respective documentation.

Learn more about the OpenLDAP project on the official OpenLDAP website.

Directory Management with OpenLDAP

Directory services like OpenLDAP act as containers for directories (databases) that can store various information. Such directory servers can be used, if

  1. a hierarchically structured data storage is requested, and if
  2. these data should high-performantly be retrievable via the network .

The entries consist of attributes that are specified by object classes as mandatory or optional attributes. Very often, OpenLDAP is used as exceptionally scalable (with hundrets of millions of entries) and highly performant (with 10,000 accesses per second and more) authentication server; but also any other form of data can be stored. Moreover, any customer-specific extension can be programmed via an overlay mechanism (a plugin interface).
