I've been tinkering with Sun's latest LDAP directory server, and I must say that I am very impressed. The time to get up and running with an LDAP server that has self-signed SSL certificates, replication with neighbor servers, and an awesome web management interface is minimal compared to previous versions. The server comes packages with the Java Enterprise System Identity Management Suite and can be configured during the installation or afterwards. I like to have full control over the configuration, so I select to "Configure Later" which allows me to run the DS Control Center setup script later on.
I know that there are a lot more exciting blog postings on the Sun Blogs, but I wanted to show my appreciation for such a great improvement in Sun's LDAP offering. You'll see many more postings along this topic as I go through the steps of rolling out the DSEE 6.0 along with Sun Access Manager 7.1 (authentication services / SSO) and Sun Identity Manager 7.0 (user provisioning and access control).
