Open Source Tools: JXplorer
There are a few other people here blogging about open source now, so I thought I'd toss in my two cents by pointing out some good tools to look at as a semi-regular feature here. I sort of already started this with my post on GanttProject, a project management tool similar to MS Project, as well as an entry on an open source e-Portfolio solution.
One tool I use a lot is an LDAP browser. Now, many people like Softerra as a browser, but it's Windows-only, which means my Macs can't run it. For a while, I recommended LBE, but it's come to my attention that it's not quite freeware, though it may be for educational institutions. Rather than run a risk of getting in some kind of trouble, I sought out other options, and found JXplorer, which is an LDAP browser originally developed by Computer Associates, but later released to the open source community. It seems nicer than LBE so far, and has been worked on in the last 4-5 years, unlike LBE, so it supports modern LDAP enhancements like DSML.
