The OpenDJ community actively develops open source directory services, including a high performance, highly available, secure directory server, built-in data replication, client tools, and an LDAP SDK. OpenDJ offers extensive LDAPv3 support, as well as RESTful access to directory data over HTTP. OpenDJ DSML gateway enables applications accessing directory data through DSMLv2. All modules are 100% Java based and require at least Java 6.

Coming soon on the OpenDJ Roadmap, you see that the community plans to develop directory proxy services with virtual directory capabilities such as data mapping and connectors for non-directory data sources.

The OpenDJ community shares an interest in improving and extending OpenDJ software, and in adapting OpenDJ to best fit our needs.
