Dear Sir, We have a production system using ApacheDS that's been running since 2011 with 80,000+ users. Emmanuel ,Kiran and the many other contributors have done an amazing job with this software. Yes, there was a bit of a learning curve and for us that was easily offset by its cost. If we used MS Azure Active Directory Basic instead it would run $80K per month.

Failing. I am abandoning attempts to use this and will recommending against using ApacheDS on the project I am currently working on. There are too many issues, it gives me very uneasy feeling. - I tried the latest release M22, it doesn't work, fails to install on Ubuntu and CentOS. - I tried M20, which installs and works but found that studio does not work DIRSTUDIO-889 - Previous studio version had another issue. Open configuration does not work, shows message "OID ads-basedn does not exist!". - Purportedly studio version should match servers version so I tried complete new install of M8 of studio and server. This version also produces error message on open configuration ATTRIBUTE_TYPE for" OID ads-dsmaxpdusize does not exist!". My conclusion is that there is no clear stable working ApacheDS release at this point. That navigating around various issues surrounding combination of server and studio is time consuming is one thing. The key thing however is that the many issues raise questions about quality.
