iPlanet info

Can someone give me the quick lowdown on
iPlanet. Such as:

How long does it take to configure roughly?
Why use iPlanet over just using LDAP?

Re: iPlanet info

How long it takes to configure depends on such factors as machine speed and how fast one reads and comprehends.

I played with it and then dropped it due to time issues. I've gotten reports that it can be done in a day if all other infrastructure requierments are done in advance.

But seriously, when does that ever happen.

As far as your second qeustion, unless iplanet provides you something you need, I see no reason to use it over just plain old LDAP. A lot of organizations use LDAP client for HP-UX and Microsoft Active Directory as the main LDAP Server.

As much as I despise Microsoft products, that seems to be what we're gonig to do here.

Re: iPlanet info

AAAHHH! Microsoft! I was hoping to at least
install LDAP on UNIX.
We just need to be able to add info like:

User name.
Phone.
Email.
Dept.
.
.

Seems like iPlanet may be overkill.
Also, according to HP, iPlanet is now Sun Server One.
