Looks that way. I haven't deployed OpenLDAP in at least a year, unfortunately. My notes on the process are sketchy. Ajeet, it would help to know what clients are being used. The schema addition will add the host entry, but the client side still needs to respect the attribute. > It's really the other way around - Red Hat Directory Server is based on 389. Technically yes, but I'd used it when it was Netscape DS and more recently since RH acquired it and opened it up some years back. 389 was once FedoraDS, which was the RedHatDS. "389 Directory Server is the newest incarnation of what was once the original University of Michigan slapd project. In 1996, the project's developers were hired by Netscape Communications Corporation and the project became known as the Netscape Directory Server (NDS). After acquiring Netscape, AOL sold ownership of the NDS intellectual property to Sun Microsystems but retained rights akin to ownership. These rights were acquired by Red Hat, and on June 1, 2005, much of the source code was released as free software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL)."
