Free ldap directory software for linux

Apache Directory Server is an embeddable LDAP server implemented in pure Java.
Our primary vision (others also outlined below) is to build an enterprise directory server platform (and its components) where other Internet services snap in to store their data within the directory so they may be managed using LDAP.
From the image above youll see the architecture is designed so services besides LDAP like DNS, DHCP, SLP and Kerberos will snap in. Other services like UDDI can also be implemented and snapped in. These services will use a common networking layer and each can be toggled on and off according to the needs of the environment.
apseda, mina, or sedang are various frameworks used for the common network layer. These services share the common network layer and back their data within the Apache Directory Servers backing stores without any network latency or going through the LDAP line protocol. NTP btw is the only exception and its there to remedy the need for time sync for replication and other time sensitive protocols like kerberos. Its implementation here is intended to prevent any dependency on external infrastructure.
Main features:
- Designed as an LDAP and X.500 experimentation platform. Plugable components and subsystems make ApacheDS extremely modular and ideal for experiments with various aspects of the LDAP protocol.
- The servers frontend is completely separable from its backend and vice-versa making it very flexible for implementing virtual directories, proxy servers and gateways to X.500.
- Several backends can be implemented and plugged into the servers partition nexus. The server supports a BTree based partition out of the box but any backing store can be used to implement a partition so long as it conforms to interfaces.
- The server exposes aspects of administration via a special system backend. LDAP can be used to manage these concerns through the system naming context at ou=system.
- Java based triggers and stored procedures are being implemented.
- Both the backend subsystem and the frontend are separable and independently embeddable.
- The server contains a server side JNDI LDAP provider as the facade for the entire backend subsystem. JNDI operations are directly translated by this provider into operations against the nexus and the target partitions storing server entries.
- The server will use JNDI as the data access API for stored procedures. This will make stored procedures functional within and outside of the server without requiring recompilation.
- The servers networking code, MINA, Multipurpose Infrastructure for Network Applications was designed for pluggable protocol providers, of all sorts and not just LDAP. MINA gives ApacheDS the ability to handle large amounts of concurrency.
- The server uses the Snickers tools and APIs for ASN.1 BER encoding and decoding. These tools are designed for a very small encoding and decoding footprint as well as for use in non-blocking servers. The chunking nature of the BER codec makes the server very efficient while handling encoding and decoding making it more resistant to DoS attacks. This layer is also pluggable with a new experimental Twix provider which is much more efficient. Of course there is the unsupported Snacc4J provider which is no longer maintained.

With this service menu you will be able to search into directory by right-clicking on it. Search Into Directory starts a kfind window (part of kdebase) ready to search into the selected directory.

Note : This servicemenu is in fact duplicated of an existing one on kde-apps. So Ive removed mine and I wont maintain it. Youll find another one named Find in Folder

PhotoDirectory project is a cross platform (Java) application to organize digital images. Great effort has been given to keeping these pictures in an order accessible without the need for any organization software - no databases are required.
PhotoDirectory was written using Java version 1.5 (commonly called 5.0 for some reason or another). You cannot run it on anything less than this. Depending on your system, you may need to explicitly state which Java VM to use. If you use Macintosh OS X, I include an application package that does everything for you. If you dont use OS X, now is a great time to try.
Main features:
- Multithreaded IO intensive operations
- Functional menus (Import, Move, etc)
- Quick Searching for pictures within the library
- Details view with zoom
- Edit images in external application (currently just for OS X - uses /Applications/GraphicConverter, but soon will be a user configurable option)

Shell Directory Manager is a small tool for managing often-visited directories using a shell like bash.

I offer two new commands: dm is a manager for a small database, where you name directories with a short alias. And dmcd is a function for your current shell, which lets you go to a directory given its alias in the database.

Example of use:

$ dm 1 /tmp # Adds the id 1 for /tmp
$ dm bla . # Adds the id bla for the current dir
$ dmcd 1 # Goes to /tmp
$ dmcd bla # Goes to what was your current dir
$ dm -d bla # Deletes the entry for bla.
$ dm # Shows your database
1 /tmp
$ dm -h # Shows help, and defines dmcd for sh.

Installation:

Its a script in bash - dont look for any special filename extension. Put the downloaded dm in your path.

Install the dmcd function. dm -h may give you a clue. For instance, for bash, add the following line into your .bashrc or .bash_profile (or any system wide script for each session):

function dmcd { dm -t $1 && cd `dm $1`; }

Linbox Directory Server (LDS), along with the Linbox Management Console (LMC), is a powerful system that allows developers, system administrators, and other software vendors to manage users, groups, and their associated policies in an LDAP server.
Linbox Directory Server is highly ergonomic interface design makes it very easy to use, and delegation of administration enables medium size organization to adopt LDS.
Enhancements:
- New features and improvements include DNS/DHCP management and a Norwegian translation.
- The new DNS/DHCP module allows you to manage DNS zones and DHCP subnets for a typical LAN environment.

Directory Assistant is an application for managing an LDAP address book. The focus is to create a very easy to use program, with only the few but necessary features. The target of Directory Assistant is novice users that still need to keep their addresses in an LDAP server.

t@b Directory Uploader is a software that can upload a directory to a FTP server.

You can upload a complete directory to an FTP server, including all subdirectories from a user-friendly interface. Features automatic (no user input required) retry until all files have successfully uploaded.

This program runs on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux

Example:

FTP Host Name: ftp.website.com (no ftp://)
FTP Host Path: foldername (if no folder type / instead)
FTP User Name: ftpusername
FTP Password: ftppassword
