History
FDS is the newest incarnation of what was once the original University of Michigan slapd project. In 1996, the project's developers were hired by Netscape Communications Corporation and the project became known as the Netscape Directory Server (NDS). After acquiring Netscape, AOL sold ownership of the NDS intellectual property to Sun Microsystems but retained rights akin to ownership. These rights were acquired by Red Hat, and on June 1, 2005, much of the source code was released as free software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (UM, U of M or U-M) is a coeducational public research university in the state of Michigan. ...

As of FDS version 1.0 (December 8, 2005), Red Hat released all of the remaining source code for all components included in the release package and continues to maintain them under their respective licenses. [1] [2]
Features FDS has multi-master capability. There are currently up to four writable directory masters supported with FDS.
FDS also has the ability to export parts of the directory to read-only servers. This is in contrast to Microsoft's Active Directory, where all servers currently must be read/write and changes on one server are synchronized (converged) between all the other servers via multi-master replication. Typically Active Directory is managed using the graphical Microsoft Management Console. ...
