Currently, if you want to run an organized business, you need a directory for your employees and perhaps your clients as well. If you’re an entrepreneur and starting a small business, you may not have the financial means for purchasing one of the big named directory services such as Active Directory or NetIQ’s eDirectory. OpenDJ is a great solution for getting your business off the ground, being that it is the most complete open source directory product. OpenDJ also provides plug-and-play installation, allowing your IT staff to set up the directory and move on to configuring your budding infrastructure. OpenDJ also runs on Java, providing multi-OS deployment, including virtualized environments.
If you’re worried about security, don’t be. Just because the product is open source doesn’t mean they skimp on securing your data with multiple degrees of authentication and authorization, password encryption, and password policies. OpenDJ also allows integrates seamlessly with any vendor specific code you might need/have. OpenDJ may be open source, but it definitely has what it takes to compete with the big dogs in the “closed source – proprietary” environment.
By utilizing the open source availability of this product, with a competent staff of developers, there is almost no limit to what can be implemented using this solution. Don’t fret about having to customize everything yourself though! There is a full suite of tools and management applications that come with your installation. Also, because it runs on the Java Virtual Machine, it can be run virtually on any operating system that supports java.
