Hi all,
Does anybody have an experience of using ApacheDS on production? Was it stable? Did you have any issues and how you resolved them?
Thanks,

Many thanks for such a feedback !

Be aware that 2.0 is not ready yet, we are still shaking the code base. 
Wait until it's released as 2.0.0-RC1.

Note that we are still very careful to deliver milestones that are 
useable, but a milestone may see a lot of internal modifications from 
the previous milestone which might requires some changes in the 
configuration, plus a full export/import of data.

We've been using 1.5.5, then 1.5.7 in customers' production environments for a couple years now on both windows and linux. 
For dozens of customers I think it's hung maybe once or twice. A service restart resolved the issue. 
Despite power failures, operating system crashes, etc we've never lost its database or experienced any type of corruption. 
We'll be rolling out 2.0 to a few customers next year And if all goes well we'll convert them all. This is a great product and I appreciate all the effort that goes into it.

You also don't have working replication.

If you want more than one server,  you have to apply updates to each server separately.

This for me is a deal breaker, but YMMV.

I have experience with this, the 1.5.x is generally stable (for what i do - custom partition, just some lookups - nothing fancy) - however there is one major issue that requires a cronjob to restart the service every night

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1620

If you can live with that, i say give it a shot.

I do hope the issue gets resolved for 2.0 tho.
