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. 

Best Wishes

Subject: Uneasy feeling about ApacheDS

I'm new to ApacheDS and have been trying to setup a working configuration.
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.
