The catalogue is intended to be a listing of all available implementations
of the LDAP protocol and applications using it, including commercial products
and openly available offerings. This will provide information that will be
useful for those planning to deploy LDAP-based systems, in determining the
available implementations and whether these implementations would be
interoperable.
The catalogue is expected to be available around September 30, 1996. It will
be published to the ldap@umich.edu mailing list, and made available on the Web
at the URL "http://www.critical-angle.com/ldapworld/survey.html". If there is
interest and additional submissions, the catalogue will continue to be revised
after that date.
If you have or are pursuing implementation of an LDAP library, client,
server or gateway which you wish to have included, please respond to
<survey@critical-angle.com> by September 20, 1996 with the attached form, to
be included in the first listing. If you have multiple independent products
which have distinct features (e.g. a basic browsing client product, and a more
powerful administration client product), please complete one form for each,
and be sure to indicate in 1.1 that they are distinct.
Also please let me know if you have any comments or questions on this form.
Thanks in advance,
