The Apache Directory Project

The Apache Directory Project provides directory solutions entirely written in Java. These include a directory server, which has been certified as LDAP v3 compliant by the Open Group (Apache Directory Server), and Eclipse-based directory tools (Apache Directory Studio).

Project Vision

We strive to increase LDAP awareness, comfort and adoption to bring forth what we call the Modern LDAP Renaissance. Learn more about our vision here.

            <div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
            ApacheDS is an embeddable directory server entirely written in Java, which has been certified LDAPv3 compatible by the Open Group. Besides LDAP it supports Kerberos 5 and the Change Password Protocol. It has been designed to introduce triggers, stored procedures, queues and views to the world of LDAP which has lacked these rich constructs.

            Triplesec is what you get when you combine 2-factor strong authentication with identity management. Triplesec is a strong identity management solution. A strong identity management server is used to centralize the management of authentication, authorization and auditing concerns in your applications while further protecting access to them using multiple factors for authentication.

            The Studio is an LDAP client platform. It is composed of an Eclipse RCP Application and a set of plugins. Primarily it is built to be used with ApacheDS, but it should work with any LDAP server.
