The Sun Java System Directory Server was an LDAP directory server and DSML server implemented in the C programming language, originally created by Sun Microsystems. It formed a component of the Java Enterprise System and was formerly identified as Sun ONE Directory Server, iPlanet Directory Server, and Netscape Directory Server.
This software later progressed into the Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition, which has since been rebranded as Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition (ODSEE). It was distributed freely for unlimited use across individual, commercial, service provider, and research sectors. The most recent release (DSEE 7, renamed ODSEE 11.1.1.5.0) continues to be accessible for download from Oracle’s official site, the current custodian of Sun’s software assets.
In 2011, due to difficulties in maintaining the C-based Sun Java System Directory Server, Sun began developing OpenDS in Java. Since that year, the original code has not received updates.
