!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] was, on [NetWare] prior to version 8 (then called [Novell Directory Services (NDS)|Novell Directory Services]), used a record-based [database] management engine called [{$pagename}], which relied on the Transaction Tracking System built into the [NetWare] [Operating System]. Since version 8, [eDirectory] (along with the GroupWise collaboration suite, starting with version 5) uses the [FLAIM] (FLexible Adaptable Information Management) [database] engine. 

FLAIM is an open source embeddable database engine developed by Novell and released under the GPL license in [2006|Year 2006]. 

This change allowed for [Novell Directory Services (NDS)|Novell Directory Services] to support [LDAP] to be ported to other platforms such as Windows, [Linux], and [UNIX].[1]
