It is an interesting choice. It supports multi-master replication which I will need and has some GUI management utilities. Anyone know of any problems with it?
Only that many people on this list have been ignorant of what NsDS is in the past, even though it's in major use -- especially before even the appearance of ADS in Windows 2000, let alone how well it does integrate it for ADS-to/from-NsDS synchronization. I.e., NsDS can run on Windows too, and Fedora makes those binaries available.
I don't know if I'd trust the FDS 1.0 "open source" version yet, as it's missing components last time I checked, but the FDS binaries? 100% NsDS 7.1 -- Linux, Windows, Solaris, etc...
I'm not resistant to changing programs. We are in a testing mode now and I have barely even started looking into how to configure multi-master replication in OpenLDAP.
The showstopper at the moment is that FDS 1.0 does not currently support x86_64, which is what our production servers will be running.
