!!!SLAPD
The [{$pagename}] (Standalone LDAP Daemon) and [SLURPD] (Stand-alone LDAP update replication daemon) was originally developed within the long-running project that developed the LDAP protocol.
Today, many [LDAP Server Implementations|LDAP Server Implementations] are derived from the same code base of the original [{$pagename}] and/or evolutions of it.
!!University of Michigan
[LDAP] was co-developed by [Tim Howes|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Howes|target='_blank'] of the University of Michigan, [Steve Kille of Isode Limited|Steve Kille], and [Wengyik Yeong|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wengyik_Yeong|target='_blank'] of Performance Systems International, in 1993.
!!Netscape Communications Corporation
In 1996, several of the project's developers were hired by [Netscape Communications Corp] and they developed what became known as the Netscape Directory Server.
!! [Sun Microsystems]-[Netscape] Alliance (iPlanet)
The Sun-Netscape Alliance, Santa Clara, CA was A joint venture of [Sun Microsystems] and [Netscape] to market Netscape's Web-based software products. The Alliance was formed when [AOL] acquired [Netscape] in [1999|Year 1999] to take advantage of the fact that the bulk of Netscape [software] was already running on Sun hardware. [Netscape] product names were replaced by the iPlanet brand name.
!![Sun Microsystems] Open Net Environment and [AOL]
In March [2002|Year 2002], the Sun-Netscape Alliance was concluded, and iPlanet became a division of Sun and a core component of the Sun Open Net Environment (Sun ONE).
[AOL] and [Sun Microsystems] retained the intellectual property rights for all products. [Sun Microsystems] took retained engineering and support organizations were fully staffed by [Sun Microsystems] employees.
iPlanet software became __Sun ONE software__, which changed its name in late 2003 to the __Sun Java System__ brand. We are unsure if the the __Sun Java System__ brand contains much code form the original code base. The [OpenDS] [LDAP] is, AFAIK, an [Open Source] [version] of the [Sun Microsystems] Directory Server.
!! [Red Hat Directory Server]
The AOL rights and code were acquired by Red Hat and is now the [Red Hat Directory Server]. Red hat on, June 1, [2005|Year 2005], much of the [source code] was released as free software under the terms of the [GNU General Public License] ([GPL]).
As of version 1.0, December 8, 2005, Red Hat released all of the remaining [source code] for all components included in the release package and continues to maintain them under their respective licenses as part of the Fedora Directory Server.
The [Fedora Directory Server] project changed its name in May [2009|Year 2009] to [389 Directory Server] to give the project a distribution and vendor neutral name and encourage porting or running the software on other [Operating Systems].
!! [OpenLDAP]
The [OpenLDAP] Project started by cloning the LDAP reference source from the University Of Michigan where a long-running project had developed and continued the evolution of the [LDAP] [protocol].
