# LDAP Servers

Please note that support for LDAPv2 connections was dropped in release 1.1.5 since this is considered historic since a quite while now (see also RFC 3494).

Server product | Tested releases | Comments | Current Status
--- | --- | --- | ---
OpenLDAP | 2.x | Open Source reference implementation of LDAPv3. web2ldap has some extra features for this server. | Regularly used for interop tests.
OpenDJ | 2.4.x | ForgeRock's fork of OpenDS which works just fine. Especially using more sophisticated LDAPv3 extended controls has been tested with this. Used for interop testing of DIT structure rules and name forms. | Regularly used for interop tests.
MS Active Directory | W2K, W2K3, W2K3R2, W2K8, W2K8R2, W2K12 | Various work-arounds were added to handle the broken sub schema in W2K. Some extra features were added for MS AD. | W2K3+ regularly used for interop tests.
389 also known as Fedora Directory Server | recent | Seems to work but has subschema bugs with non-unique NAMEs and/or OIDs which requires to set schema_strictcheck=False. | Tested occasionally, accessible in online demo.
CA eTrust Directory | 8.1 and 12.0 | Worked just fine. Release 8.1 used as reference server for implementing the viewer for DIT structure rules and name forms in web2ldap. | Not tested for a while.
