"OpenLDAP 2.4 Highlights: Features of the Upcoming Release" paper and presentation available
by OpenLDAP Project
The following paper and presentation are now available from the
OpenLDAP Publications web page: http://www.openldap.org/pub/
Title: OpenLDAP 2.4 Highlights: Features of the Upcoming Release
Author: Howard Chu, Symas Corp.

Abstract:
OpenLDAP is the premier implementation of LDAP client and server
software, providing full support of LDAPv3 and most popular standard
and draft (work in progress) LDAP extensions. It has evolved over the
years from its origins in the University of Michigan's reference
implementation of LDAPv2 as a vehicle for experimentation into a
mature, commercial grade package capable of supporting the most
demanding environments. The current release has been proven to scale
to hundreds of millions of objects in data volumes in excess of a
terabyte, with performance in excess of 22,000 queries per second at
sub-millisecond latencies. Reliability in production deployments has
been flawless, with hardware failure being the principal cause of
unscheduled downtime. This paper presents a brief overview of
features in the newest release, along with a brief history and
motivation for the new developments.
