web2ldap is known to work smoothly with the following software:

LDAP servers

OpenLDAP 1.x
Open Source implementation of LDAPv2. Use is deprecated today.
OpenLDAP 2.x
Open Source reference implementation of LDAPv3. Check it out!
Netscape/iPlanet Directory Server
web2ldap even supports some extra features for these.
Novell eDirectory 8.x
With sub-tree renaming, subordinate flag and some other neat features. Fatal error: Some OIDs in schema are used more than once!
LDAP server in Lotus Notes R4.5x and 4.6x
Sometimes behaviour of this LDAP server was very weird making it almost unusable. LDAPv2 if I remember correctly.
LDAP server in Lotus Notes R5.x (sometimes weird)
Most times it works quite well. Persistent connections are dropped very fast - depends on the configuration I guess. web2ldap contains a work-around for the null-byte terminated string of the namingContexts attribute in Domino/LDAP's RootDSE.
MS Active Directory
web2ldap displays the GUID as active LDAP URL links.
Siemens Dir.X
Works just fine.
Innosoft Distributed Directory Server (IDDS)
At the moment only read-only tests were done.
Critical Path InJoin 4.0
It's a snap. With sub-tree renaming, subordinate flag, etc.
Syntegra
Read-only tests on a public address book server worked. Not sure which type and version though. Fatal error: Some OIDs in schema are used more than once!
IBM Directory Server 5.1
Simply works. With subordinate flags, etc.

Web browsers

Netscape Communicator
The classic web browser. Chokes even on CSS.
Mozilla
Mozilla 1.0 has the best CSS support around!
Konqueror
The web browser and file manager of the KDE project: Input forms enclosed in <fieldset> are not displayed (see KDE bug #44643 pending). No proper gzip-encoding handling.
DILLO!
Very fast HTML rendering and very small! Unfortunately currently no support for UTF-8 Unicode encoding.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Support for CSS depends very much on the version used.
Opera
Commercial browser. Aims to be fast and small. Also very good CSS support. No proper gzip-encoding handling.
Amaya
W3C's reference browser.
lynx
A text-mode browser.
w3m
A text-mode browser capable of handling tables. No proper gzip-encoding handling.
StarOffice
Built-in browser of the StarOffice application suite.

Web servers

Apache
I don't have to write any explanation about this one...
