I thought IBM Directory Server (IDS) was a front-end for a read
optimized DB2.  We use it, but I'd like to not use it based solely on
the fact that it uses IBM's GSKit for SSL support.  Back in January, a
VeriSign signer certificate expired.  We lost LDAP capabilities for
almost a week while IBM scurried to release a patch for the GSKit.

The question I could never get answered is: what is so bad about OpenSSL
that IBM felt obligated to write their own solution?

We're tied to the WebSphere 5.1 support matrix.  Is OpenLdap a supported
LDAP server?  I can't find the URL for that matrix when I need it the
most.
