-Fortress products run on open system hardware and software platforms supporting LDAPv3, HTTP/S & Java technologies. Functionality that extend beyond LDAPv3 is realized via OpenLDAP/ApacheDS specific features. With the advent of Rest and Web products, [Apache Tomcat](http://tomcat).apache.org/, or preferred Java servlet container is used to process HTTP communications between endpoints.
