OpenLDAP 2.4 Highlights
نویسنده
چکیده
OpenLDAP is the premier implementation of LDAP client and server software, providing full support of LDAPv3 and most popular standard and draft (work in progress) LDAP extensions. It has evolved over the years from its origins in the University of Michigan's reference implementation of LDAPv2 as a vehicle for experimentation into a mature, commercial grade package capable of supporting the most demanding environments. The current release has been proven to scale to hundreds of millions of objects in data volumes in excess of a terabyte, with performance in excess of 22,000 queries per second at submillisecond latencies. Reliability in production deployments has been flawless, with hardware failure being the principal cause of unscheduled downtime. This paper presents a brief overview of features in the newest release, along with a brief history and motivation for the new developments.

متن کاملIntegrating SPARQL Endpoints into Directory Services
We demonstrate the integration of RDF knowledge bases from our social, semantic collaboration tool OntoWiki via SPARQL endpoints into directory services based on the Lightweigth Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). In order to achieve this, we translate LDAP queries into SPARQL queries and transform the incoming SPARQL results back into the LDAP data model. The transformation component is implemen...
