[Fedora-directory-users] How interhangeable are ldap server?

[Mont Rothstein]

Just to be clear, when you say "much custom code" do you mean none if I am
careful, or a little?  This can obviously be a big difference since even
testing a small number of changes against all the LDAP servers we might have
to talk to could be a large task.

Thanks,
