OpenDS continues to make progress. We recently reported on the OpenDS 0.9 release, but now we have available the first builds for OpenDS 1.0. And, in related events, JBoss Portal is going to use OpenDS and Ludo Added OpenDS to Ohloh.

  • OpenID Identity Provider, LDAP Directories are perfect fit for storing all
     information of an Identity Provider.  A servlet implements an OpenID Identity Provider  service. Initially implemented from scratch,now uses OpenID
  • Extension for OpenSSO (contributed by Paul Bryan)  Leverages OpenDS for creating, searching users,  authenticating them and storing sessions over LDAP (using Mozilla LDAP Java SDK)
  • A Servlet implements Atom Publishing Protocol  and leverages OpenDS for the storage and retrieval of atom entries
  • REST interface : RFC 4514 LDAP URL.  So the query is an LDAP URL and the server  returns an Atom with the entries:
    •     List all users from a Directory
    •      List all entries that have changed in the last 5 minutes
  •   Built with ROME 0.9 and Mozilla LDAP Java SDK


OpenDS provides a hierarchical database with  high availability built in and a standard access protocol. It is at the core of Identity Services such as OpenSSO, OpenID, OpenPortal, JBoss-Portal many more to join.  It looks like converging in one place, making a very good stack of identity world.
