web2ldap is known to work smoothly with the following software:
- 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.
- 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.
- Apache
-
I don't have to write any explanation about this one...
-
Many Netmeeting directory servers (most times DNS alias
starting with ILS) contain invalid NUL-terminated strings in some
rootDSE attributes. This can't be worked around easily without
breaking LDAP implementation.
I also did not find a ILS server which allows non-exact searching
or any other useful stuff for general LDAP use.
Please use the feedback form to
send more compability notes.
