Gary,

I am from Boston College and we migrated from Oracle DSEE to Symas OpenLDAP. We opted for Symas support and installation, Symas helped on data conversion, Indexing, installation, configuration in Dev/QA and Prod. It has been close to 3 years since migrating to OpenLDAP and we haven't encountered any issues. Symas OpenLDAP has been reliable in terms of performance and support (Urgent to 24 hours buffer).

I hope that helps, also we use RHEL8 currently and Shibboleth 4.3.1 with Symsa OpenLDAP 2.5. Symas Repo - https://repo.symas.com/soldap2.5/<https://repo.symas.com/soldap2.5/>

Hi all,

Just after some recommendations.
We currently use openldap as our user repository for Shibboleth running on a RHEL7 server.
RHEL7 is EOL 30th June 2024 and openldap is not provided by Redhat for RHEL8. Also openldap is not included in the extended support option for RHEL7.

If any are running openldap on RHEL8 where are you sourcing the software from, openldap.org<http://openldap.org/>, Symas, LDAP Tool Box etc,  and  are you self-supporting or getting paid support?

Regards
