[Mono-list] Mono LDAP Status

[Brady Anderson]

Jason and Anthony,
Novell's Directory Services team is also evaluating the work necessary
for implementing the System.DirectoryServices class in Mono.  I am
currently working on a project at Novell that is using Mono and need
this class ASAP.  I would like to see the class implemented all in
managed code for deployment and management reasons.  Since I'm new to
Open Source, I'm not sure how this works where three parties are
interesting in implementing the same class.  Anyone care to jump in with
an answer?

I am interested in this as well but have some additional
questions. 

I currently work heavily with Active Directory. I am
curious what support for Directory Services will Mono
implement. It is my understanding that Active Directory is
a proprietary standard and Microsoft will not allow it to
be copied. I assume that Active Directory will not be
supported. 

What Directory Services will be supported and how?
