OpenLDAP is the most popular open-source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). It contains all administrator goodies like a load balancer/proxy, libraries, clients and of course the server itself. OpenLDAP is managed and developed by the OpenLDAP Foundation. OpenLDAP has a BSD-style license - the OpenLDAP Public License.
The OpenLDAP project started from code from the University of Michigan, the first release was just cleaned up code from their implementation of LDAP. Over the years OpenLDAP has grown and now is the de facto standard for LDAP implementations on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. The LDAP protocol is used for directory services and authentication, and it is widely used in both educational and corporate environments.
