Thanks to Neil Wilson (a.k.a cn=Directory Manager) for his advise. We have completed OpenDS integration on Penrose in record time. Penrose can now leverage four LDAP listeners: ApacheDS (default), OpenLDAP, Fedora DS and OpenDS.

DoubleSlash, an Identity Management consultant, Klaus Moser, published an article with a title “Penrose - Virtual Directory 2.0“. It’s worth a read. (WARNING: it is written in German)

We are in the process of completing integration between Fedora DS and Penrose. We created a Java-Backend plug-in that can be installed as a Fedora DS Plug-ins module (Fedora DS is very well documented. Kudos to the Redhat team). The configuration instruction is here.

Open source Identity Management Map (Dec 2006 edition) is now available online.

Highlights:

• Improved mapping Engine
• Performance enhancements
• Improved LDAP listeners using the latest version of ApacheDS and OpenLDAP
