history
The origin of the project is a SourceForge project called LDAPd founded by Alex Karasulu in 2002, the aim of which was to implement an LDAP server in Java. In October 2003 the sources were taken over into the Incubator of the Apache Software Foundation, which they successfully left in 2005 as a new Apache project. Version 1.0 of the Apache Directory Server was released in October 2006. It was the first open source LDAP server to be certified as standard-compatible by the Open Group . Alex Karasulu is still involved in the project as an architect and developer, but has not been in charge of it since March 2007.
