- Talk about Alex here.
+ Alex wrote the LDAPd pure Java LDAP server and founded the LDAPd Group.
+ He eventually disolved the LDAPd Group and proposed and founded the
+ Directory Project at Apache which absorbed the code base to the LDAPd
+ Directory Server.
</p>
+
+ <subsection name="Some Background">
+ <p>
+ As an enterprise architect and developer Alex had searched for a way
+ to consolidate common data within an infrastructure into one single
+ location to centralize it's management and allow for shared access.
+ Such a centralized database would make enterprise integration of
+ several applications and processes depending on this common
+ information that much easier without duplication and consistancy
+ issues.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Alex first experimented with a centralized database to initially store
+ user accounts, passwords and authorization profiles for various
+ applications and resources within an enterprise. Unfortunatly the
+ use of an RDBMS was inhibiting. It was a single point of failure
+ which wound up becoming a bottle neck. Furthermore the RDBMS was
+ not very conducive toward managing heirarchical data and delegating
+ control over it. A new storage and access paradigm was required and
+ that's when Alex encountered the directory.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ After studying up on X.500 and LDAP Alex decided to design corporate
+ directories to facilitate in enterprise application integration and
+ the realization of workflows across these systems. His experience
+ lead to encounters with various directory servers which disappointed
+ him. The directory servers encountered were a decade away from being
+ as robust as the RDBMS is for application developement. Some of the
+ rich features in the RDBMS have yet to be introduced into the world
+ of the directory server or require a massive workaround to implement.
+ Things like stored procedures and triggers were most high on that
+ list.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Finally on October 16th 2002 Alex decided to write his own LDAP server
+ which had support for triggers and stored procedures. On this day he
+ registered a Sourceforge project called LDAPd and began building an
+ LDAP server. He also founded the LDAPd Group which worked on the
+ LDAPd server. Eventually Jeff Machols, Robb Penoyer, Wes McKean and
+ others joined the project. Before a year the server had 3 releases at
+ sourceforge and an invitation was made by the Avalon team to have the
+ LDAPd project move to Apache. A proposal was written and submitted
+ for the Apache Directory Project on September 3rd 2003. The proposal
+ was accepted by the ASF into the Apache incubator on October 30th
+ 2003.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The dream of a robust pure Java LDAP server will be realized before
+ exiting the incubator. Most importantly the server will be free and
+ supported by a healthy community of developers here at the ASF.
