Thanks for doing so. Sounds like CA is working on a VD solution based on
ApacheDS much like Identyx (w/ Penrose) is working on one. Would be
good to
at least have some testimonials from both camps. There's a lot of
products
out there that use ApacheDS in one way or another. It would be nice
if more
of them revealed that.
I couldn't have say it better ! We don't only appreciate contributions,
but also testimony and real life users. The more you use Apache
products, the more we can improve it by fixing bugs, improving
documentation, and spreading info about the server itself. Knowing that
CA is using ADS as a backend for one of its product is really a valuable
contribution, if we can share this information on our web site : this is
exactly the target Apache is targeting.
Now, you are aware that it can't be a one way trip : if we are not
enough working on the server, then the server will stale, so the
products built on top of it !
There is a balance to find, and regarding VD, I clearly understand that
there is a competing situation which forbid you to share all the work
you are currently doing for CA. This is just fair :) After all, they pay
you a salary, something Apache can't do !
Thanks for these informations, Norval.

I'm happy to assist as like AD and really appreciate having been able to
use it as a base in my day job. However, the degree to which I can
contribute is limitted by some factors:
1. I'm flat out busy at the moment on the releases of my day job
project
2. My employer (CA) is very sensitive about the IP of our current
solution built on top of AD, and to avoid conflict of interest
they've said
they don't mind me sharing broad-brush insights and findings but want
me to
tread very carefully when it comes to coding and detailed design,
especially
in areas outside of enhancing the AD core framework itself to make it
more
VD friendly.
Hence I may be of some use as a "domain consultant" (for whatever my
personal experience is worth) but less so as a major VD developer as
such.
Just thought I should put my cards on the table and make the situation
clear.
Cheers,
Norval
