!!![389 Directory Server (Open Source LDAP)|http://directory.fedoraproject.org/]
This is the opensource project that is the latest name for the Fedora Directory server which has roots from the [Netscape|Netscape Communications Corp] Directory Server.

Some how related to the [Red Hat Directory Server] which is a commercial product with support.

In 1996 the original developers of [SLAPD] became [Netscape] employees and developed Netscape Directory Server, was renamed to [Fedora Directory Server] when purchased by [Red Hat] in 2004 and then later renamed to [389 Directory Server]

The two projects have a lot in common: support for LDAPv3 including:
* many of the most commonly used controls and extensions; 
* high performance (with the latest revisions of OpenLDAP 2.2.x/2.3 and BerkeleyDB 4.2.x/4.3), 
* some form of replication, 
* multiple back-end support, 
* access control, 
* and others.
