LDAP Studio is by far the best open source LDAP client implementation available. You can download it here. Credits goes to Stefan Seelmann, Pierre Arnauld Marcelot (we call him ‘pam’), Christie Koppelt and all of ApacheDS committers. I applaud these guys for yet again contributing a high quality software.
Just like Penrose Studio, LDAP Studio is based on Eclipse RCP PDE framework. It comes with two plugins: an LDAP browser and a schema editor. Both plugins can be installed into your Eclipse IDE by pointing it to the remote site http://directory.apache.org/ldapstudio/update/

Identicentric folks release SimAXS. Most Access management application use HTTP headers to pass login id, roles, group lists, profile data, and identity information using the same mechanism. This handy tool can pass header variables directly to IdM applications saving your developer a valuable “billable” time. Grab it now while it’s still $399.
Here is a high-level overview of simAXS.

Aside manageability and robustness, companies are buying an LDAP server for its performance. A directory server traditionally is used as a centralized lookup service, or an identity backbone. With the recent release, we are now marrying the performance of commercial LDAP server with the versatility of a virtual directory by way of persistent cache feature. The basic concept of persistent cache is quite simple. By storing the cached entries in a disk-based mechanism, those entries will survive a sudden-loss of power (recycle). Since we can store those entries on any LDAP or database servers, it also gains an unlimited storage capacity.

UPDATED: A complete documentation and etrust module JAR file is now online.

It is easy to create a mapping from a database column to an LDAP entry and conversely from LDAP entry to a database column using Penrose Studio point-and-click mapping UI. The process can be broken down into three steps:
1. connect your desired data source, this could be a directory or a database,
2. create a virtual schema for your desired LDAP views.
3. Publish and deploy your virtual schema into Penrose server.
It is based on Eclipse RCP PDE (Plugin Development Environment).
