Open LDAP

Been a while since I have been searching for Open LDAP for Windows, for those whos are interested you can find it here http://download.bergmans.us/openldap/openldap-2.2.29/

For folks who are into security (like *me), LDAP is a must .For some fundamental idea of LDAP, check this out http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/intro.html


As for post installation :
All that's left to do is run the LDAP server and connect to it with a client. To run the server, adjust the file slapd.conf if necessary, then go to a command prompt and do:
C:\> cd \openldap
C:\openldap> .\slapd -d 1

It will print a great deal of debugging effluvia on the console, atwhich point you should be able to connect to the server with a client program. There is almost no Windows-specific documentation for OpenLDAP right now, alas, so the standard documentation available at openldap.org is your best bet on getting usage information for now.
