[Fedora-directory-users] FDS 1.0 and Friends

[Aly Dharshi]

Hello All,

     I hope that you are well. Please forgive me if this is an out there 
question, with some of the changes that I read below in Richard's annoucement, 
how well will FDS 1.0 play with Sun's DS 5.x ? Anybody with any thoughts on this 
? I am referring to replication to and from for instance.

     Cheers,

     Aly.

now have access to the code for the console and administration engine as well as 
the previously open sourced LDAP engine. This release uses the Apache httpd 
engine as its administration server, and includes mod_nss - a rewrite of mod_ssl 
which uses the Mozilla NSS crypto engine. The 1.0 release, in addition to its 
many other features such as LDAPv3, Multi-Master Replication, and Windows 
Synchronization, includes support for MD5, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 
password hashing, as well as many bug fixes. Fedora Directory Server 1.0 
furthers the evolution and democratization of open source software in making 
this powerful, enterprise proven technology available to all. It is a boon for 
developers who are now able to port the full package - LDAP engine, console, and 
admin engine - to many different platforms.
