The CentOS project is pleased to announce the first public release of the CentOS Directory Server (CDS).
The CentOS Directory Server is a rebuild of the Red Hat Directory server. It is LDAP server developed in the Fedora project and has a long history. It started as the Netscape Directory Server but it got purchased by Red Hat and they released it as free software.
CDS will be available in the CentOS Extras repository for CentOS 5 and requires at least CentOS 5.3 because it requires the OpenJDK packages that are new since 5.3. There are currently no plans to build CDS for CentOS 4.
More information on how to install CDS and where to find documentation is available at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/DirectoryServerSetup.
Feedback about CDS can be given in all the regular channels available (Forums, Mailing lists, IRC, etc.).
We hope that you will enjoy CDS and we would to thank all the people that helped in testing to make this release possible.
