I second that. I used OpenLDAP once and I lost the directory when the underlying Berkeley DB got corrupt. OID is free, if used only for the name resolution. I didn't save any money and I suffered considerable embarassment because of OpenLDAP. I trust my Oracle RDBMS more then I trust Berkeley DB. The price is about the same. Microsoft active directory is supported.
