Open LDAP has issues.
Do a search on slashdot.org for commentary on it. I was quite surprised
at how many folks had problems with it that prevented them from using it.
Made me feel a bit better about never getting it to work. :)

Subject: OiD vs. OpenLDAP
So, as we are about to implement Oracle Internet Directory 3.0.1. I had
planned to use our standard method of ARCHIVELOG mode and hotbackups, but
Oracle says that it won't be valid for recovery, due to the OiD admin
treating some operations, like "ldapaddmt" as atomic (one fail = all
fail).
And that recovering to a point in the middle of the ldapaddmt would be
bad.
Well, duh. So, what Oracle's saying is that we need to do an ldifwrite
(or
ldapsearch) to backup our data. So why use Oracle at all? If you can't
use
Oracle's recoverability, why use it? Why not use OpenLDAP? That's what
my
supervisor's asking, and I can't come up with an answer.
Thoughts?
