Jim Jim Jim,

You must get a few facts straight. First of all LDAP and NDS are like comparing oranges and apples. LDAP is simply a protocol - pure and simple! It cannot be compared to NDS which is directory service with data stores etc.

Let me say it one more time. LDAP IS NOT A DS, ITS A PROTOCOL!

In fact, NOVL developers are hoping that MSFt will - for once in its life - implement the open standard LDAP as the interface to MSFT's own proprietary Active Directory. But since we all know MSFT doesn't like playing nicely with others, NOCL will likely have to develop some unique gateway specifically for Active Directory (if and when it ever shows up).

NDS will fully integrate LDAP v3 and is also participating in the development of LDAP v3. So, HPs decision is not some big threat that you are bringing up. If I didn't know better I would get the impression that you are turning into a FUDing MSFT Lemming.

Stop it! Your better then that.
