Hello All,
As noted in the RHEL7.4 release notes
(<https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/7.4_Release_Notes/chap-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-7.4_Release_Notes-Deprecated_Functionality.html#idp12778832>),
RedHat will no longer support OpenLDAP Server starting with RHEL8.
Will RedHat be supporting an alternitive Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
server? Or is RedHat dropping all sopport for Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol servers?
RedHat is supporting their commercial server, RedHat Directory Server. It's
the commercial version of 389DS, derived from the old Netscape LDAP server.
Worth noting that that lineage of code has been abandoned by everyone else
(e.g. Sun/Oracle DSEE has also been EOL'd).
This is likely a good time to start planning your migration plans if you
currently rely on RedHat's build of OpenLDAP. I would note that Symas
provides certified builds for OpenLDAP with various support options
available. An alternative for those who do not require support and do not
wish to build OpenLDAP themselves would be to use the LTB project builds.
Regards,
Quanah
