The award in this category goes to iPlanet's Directory Server. Test
Alliance member Joel Snyder's tests showed Directory Server to be the
best-performing Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server when
lined up against competing products from Critical Path, Innosoft, Novell
and Oracle. Directory Server earned a perfect 10 performance score as
it outpaced the competition in three types of LDAP-based query functions.
Snyder also deemed its LDAP-specific management features to be the best
of the lot and gave Directory Server an overall score of 8.55.
