OpenDJ
a high-performance, highly-extensible, LDAPv3 compliant directory server
Description
OpenDJ is a high-performance, highly-extensible, pure Java directory server.
The server is fully compliant with the LDAPv3 standard,
and passes all of the compliance, interoperability and security tests suites.
The directory server implements most of the standard
and experimental LDAP extensions defined in the IETF as RFCs or Internet-Drafts,
ensuring maximum interoperability with LDAP client applications.
OpenDJ software includes a rich set of APIs making the directory server easy to extend.
The directory server supports a loosely consistent multi-master replication model
that guarantees high availability of data for all operations, searches or updates.
While theoretically unlimited with regard to the number of masters,
the directory server has been stressed under heavy and durable load with four masters.
OpenDJ software includes:
A graphical installation tool (QuickSetup) that enables you
to have a server configured, and up and running in less than 3 minutes
A graphical control panel (bin/control-panel)
that displays server status information
and enables you to perform basic directory server administration
A rich set of command-line utilities to perform
all online administrative tasks both interactively and with scripts
Advanced security and password policies
Advanced backup and restore capabilities
Extensive user documentation
