The SLAPD (Standalone LDAP Daemon) and SLURPD (Stand-alone LDAP update replication daemon) are directory services used over Internet Protocol (IP) networks. These protocols originally evolved within the long-running project that developed the LDAP protocol.[1][2] It was developed at the University of Michigan, and was the first Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) software.[3]
Today, many LDAP Server Implementations are derived from the same code base of the original SLAPD and/or evolutions of it.
University of Michigan
[edit]Tim Howes of the University of Michigan, Steve Kille of Isode Limited, Wengyik Yeong of Performance Systems International and Colin Robbins of Nexor authored the original LDAP specification.[4][5] In 1993, initial implementations of the LDAP standard were made by Howes at the University of Michigan, in the form of LDAPD as a proxy for the Quipu X.500 directory and SLAPD.
Netscape Communications Corporation
[edit]In 1996, Netscape Communications Corporation hired several of the project's developers, who then worked on what became known as the Netscape Directory Server.[3]
