Red Hat Opens Netscape Directory

Posted by samzenpus on from the it's-good-to-share dept.

suezz writes " Eweek is running a story that Redhat is releasing Netscape Directory (LDAP) under the GPL - this is huge at least from my point of view. I know of at least two huge companies that have standardized on Netscape Directory for their web applications."

    This is probably a stupid, domain-specific question.

    I was recently trying to embed my JRun eServer through an SMB pipe to an NNTP share running on a remote VNC server without having to use the required intranet JVM. Would it be possible to attempt to lower my TCO using ND by utilizing the Active Directory installations in one division of the company while retaining administrator rights on the Linux network at the co-loc's Apache web server?

    Money isn't a big issue, but keeping costs down is better than paying out the nose, naturally.
