According to the article (and articles I've read on this subject before), they are not ditching LDAP entirely but rather they are switching which implementation they'll be supporting from now on: instead of supporting OpenLDAP, they will be supporting the 389 Directory Server, which does everything OpenLDAP does.
- kazen44 8y agoso i assume people running freeIPA will be fine? Considering it is based on 389?
- xenophonf 8y ago389 is based on Netscape Directory Server which forked UMN's slapd way back when. Red Hat sells a branded version of it called "Red Hat Directory Server", although last I checked everything was released under reasonably free software licenses. Frankly, as long as I can install current OpenLDAP packages on CentOS/Fedora from base, an SCL, or EPEL, I'm OK with this change.
