What do you like best about the product?
LDAP by its nature is lightweight (hence the L) and fast. It's structured for heirarchical access to user information and easy to search based on all of this information. It also has support for an SSL protocol (LDAPS) which I highly recommend. Also it has huge community of support.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not have inbuilt user interface, so you have to be a skilled person to operate this. And It only supports LDAP protocol while other Directory Services support much protocol such as Kerberos
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First of all OpenLDAP is free and opensource in nature these will help us in cost management, secondly It has easily managing interface so we no longer requiered expert to manage it.

Ideal for testing purposes, you will have your OpenLdap up & running in 10 minutes.

PHP OpenLDAP Admin is a nice feature.

I didn't experience the security group issue that the other user had. I did go through and lock down every single one of those ports to my IP, since all of them were opened up. Just something to be aware of - I'm sure if you're looking for LDAP you know all about that.

It only took a few seconds to get up and running. I ssh'ed in as root using the key that the instance was created with and this instantly triggered a nice little ncurses based configuration tool.

For some reason, (after looking through the logs), it looks like it tried to kill a PID for webmin or something that wasn't running anyway, and then crashed the configuration script and forced a reboot. I probably connected too early, before everything had started up. No big deal - reconnected and reconfigured and everything went smoothly.

After answering a few basic questions (domain - I stuck with the basic example.com, admin password, etc), it presented me with a list of various services and a prompt for extra backup services if desired. (I guess that's why all this is free!) I had no problems declining them, but do check them out if you're in the market (since they went to all the trouble to make this work, and since painlessly backing up a production box absolutely makes all kinds of sense.)

It provides the venerable webmin control panel, LDAPadmin phpmyadmin, etc. Obviously all of these have had significant vulnerabilites in the past, so lock them down tightly, but the server also automatically configured auto-updates on a nightly basis.

This was obviously a signicant engineering effort with a bunch of open source services all nicely tied together. I'm impressed and quite happy, especially because I just wanted something to develop against. Kudos to the devs!
