Slapd
The SLAPD (Standalone LDAP Daemon) and SLURPD (Stand-alone LDAP update replication daemon) originally evolved within the long-running project that developed the LDAP protocol. It was developed at the University of Michigan, and was the first Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) software. Today, many LDAP Server Implementations are derived from the same code base of the original SLAPD and/or evolutions of it. University of Michigan Tim Howes of the University of Michigan, Steve Kille of Isode Limited, Wengyik Yeong of Performance Systems International and Colin Robbins of Nexor authored the original LDAP specification.RFC 1778 - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) In 1993, initial implementations of the LDAP standard were made by Howes at the University of Michigan, in the form of LDAPD as a proxy for the Quipu X.500 directory and SLAPD. Netscape Communications Corporation In 1996 Netscape Communications Corporation hired several of the project's develo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

389 Directory Server
The 389 Directory Server (previously Fedora Directory Server) is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server developed by Red Hat as part of the community-supported Fedora Project. The name "389" derives from the port number used by LDAP. 389 Directory Server supports many operating systems, including Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Debian, Solaris, and HP-UX 11i. In late 2016 the project merged experimental FreeBSD support. However, the 389 Directory Server team as of 2017 is likely to remove HPUX and Solaris support in the upcoming 1.4.x series. The 389 source code is generally available under the GNU General Public License version 3; some components have an exception for plugin code, while other components use LGPLv2 or Apache. Red Hat also markets a commercial version of the project as Red Hat Directory Server as part of support contracts for RHEL. History 389 Directory Server is derived from the original University of Michigan Slapd project. In 1996, the pro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
LDAP
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP ) is an open, vendor-neutral, industry standard application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Directory services play an important role in developing intranet and Internet applications by allowing the sharing of information about users, systems, networks, services, and applications throughout the network. As examples, directory services may provide any organized set of records, often with a hierarchical structure, such as a corporate email directory. Similarly, a telephone directory is a list of subscribers with an address and a phone number. LDAP is specified in a series of Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Standard Track publications called Request for Comments (RFCs), using the description language ASN.1. The latest specification is Version 3, published aRFC 4511ref name="gracion Gracion.com. Retrieved on 2013-07-17. (a road map to the ...

Performance Systems International
PSINet, based in Northern Virginia, was one of the first commercial Internet service providers (ISPs) and was involved in the commercialization of the Internet until the company's bankruptcy in 2001 during the dot-com bubble and acquisition by Cogent Communications in 2002.

ISO Development Environment
The ISODE software (pronounced eye-soo-dee-eee), more formally the ''ISO Development Environment'', was an implementation of the OSI upper layer protocols, from transport layer to application layer, which was used in the Internet research community to experiment with implementation and deployment of OSI during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The ISODE software was initially a public domain / open source implementation, led by Marshall Rose. Following version 6.0, Marshall handed the lead over to Colin Robbins and Julian Onions, who coordinated the 7.0 and 8.0 releases. Version 8.0 was the final public domain release, made on June 19, 1992. The Open Source version is still available, even if only for historic interest. The software was ported to a wide set of Unix and Linux variants. ISODE Stack The ISODE stack was an implementation of layers 3 to 6 of the OSI model. While the ISODE implementation could be configured to use one of several X.25 (CONS) or connectionless lower ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Netscape Communications Corporation
Netscape Communications Corporation (originally Mosaic Communications Corporation) was an American independent computer services company with headquarters in Mountain View, California and then Dulles, Virginia. Its Netscape web browser was once dominant but lost to Internet Explorer and other competitors in the so-called first browser war, with its market share falling from more than 90 percent in the mid-1990s to less than 1 percent in 2006. An early Netscape employee Brendan Eich created the JavaScript programming language, the most widely used language for client-side scripting of web pages and a founding engineer of Netscape Lou Montulli created HTTP cookies. The company also developed SSL which was used for securing online communications before its successor TLS took over. Netscape stock traded from 1995 until 1999 when the company was acquired by AOL in a pooling-of-interests transaction ultimately worth US$10 billion.
