Greetings !!Before going for Fedora Directory Server, I thought of going through the feature list to see what all additional featuresare supported when compared to OpenLDAP. Though the feature list and FAQ says about many featuressupported by Fedora Directory Server (like multi-master replication, nested roles, cascading using hubs etc), they
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Features
don't provide information about some common features that are supported by OpenLDAP. Some of such features include,
All of these features and more are documented here - http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ A quick glance at the table of contents for these docs will give you a lot of information about these and many more features.
support for SNMP,
Yes.
password hashing,
Yes - crypt, SHA, SSHA, and (new in Fedora DS) MD5.
support of LDAP searchfilters such as presence, equality, inequality, sub-string, approximate and boolean operators,
Yes.
support for consumer- initiated replication,
Not exactly. However, Fedora DS can be configured to have a searchable changelog (cn=changelog) which can be polled periodically. In addition, FDS supports persistent search.
support for supplier-initiated replication,
Yes.
support for Digital certificates,
Yes. Clients can use certificates to authenticate to FDS, and admins can configure mapping the cert subject DN to the user's LDAP entry.
support for XMLDAP gateway and whether the Directory server support XML for integration with external applications.
I think you mean DSMLv2. Yes, FDS includes a DSMLv2 gateway.
XML and
XMLDAP are not supported by OpenLDAP too, I believe.
May be most of the above features were trivial to the
Directory Server; but still, I would like to know whether
these features are supported before going for Fedora Directory Server.
Can anyone please help ?
