I can't comment about that directory server but I have been using Novell eDirectory on CentOS 3.* without any problems. Considering that it's utilized in numerous universities and government organizations around the world, I would say it's definitely production grade software.

Just know that I've seen NsDS deployed in 10,000+ node networks going back to the late '90s.

I don't think people realize what deal the community has gotten thanx to yet another Red Hat purchase released, as always, 100% GPL.

OpenLDAP wasn't cutting it IMHO, and Red Hat refuses to offer solutions that aren't GPL. Hence why they came to an arrangement with AOL to see NsDS GPL'd after they "gave up" on OpenLDAP.
