Fedora Directory Server is a highly scalable LDAP compliant server that provides infrastructure security and manageability by centralizing application settings, user profiles, group data, policies and access control information into a networked-based directory. Management is further simplified by features such as multi-master replication and automated recovery. Administrators have the ability to improve security of networks by deploying a single authentication source.

"We applaud Red Hat's continuing commitment to Open Source and to supporting so many great projects like Fedora Directory Services and OpenLDAP to the benefit of Linux users everywhere," said Marty Heyman, President of Symas Corporation, a leading provider of open source LDAP technologies. "Symas sees great opportunities for community development of significantly improved Identity Management capabilities for all LDAP users."

With upcoming releases of new offerings, Red Hat will provide solutions based on these technologies for enterprises desiring fully supported, mission-critical identity management infrastructures.
