[CentOS-announce] Release of the CentOS Directory Server

[news 28]

The CentOS project is pleased to announce the first public release of

the CentOS Directory Server (CDS).

 

The CentOS Directory Server is a rebuild of the Red Hat Directory

server. It is LDAP server developed in the Fedora project and has a

long history. It started as the Netscape Directory Server but it got

purchased by Red Hat and they released it as free software.

 

CDS will be available in the CentOS Extras repository for CentOS 5 and

requires at least CentOS 5.3 because it requires the OpenJDK packages

that are new since 5.3. There are currently no plans to build CDS for

CentOS 4.

 

More information on how to install CDS and where to find documentation

is available at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/DirectoryServerSetup.

 

Feedback about CDS can be given in all the regular channels available
